Jeez, @Mikie you have one that's almost brand new! It even has pedals on it.

Wait, what? Yeah, I can ride to the top and then coast down with you fellers...
Been riding my bike!

Hadn't committed cause I was going to an event at the Nicks school. Pulled a couple strings and bribed a couple people though so now I'm in. Now to find a lift...

 

[Cyclotourist]

So it looks like the IMTBTRAILS.COM contingent includes, but is not limited to:

• @Cyclotourist
• @riiz
• @Faust29
• @Grego
• @trailslayer
• @UPSed
• @mtnbikej
• @Mikie
• @Voodoo Tom

Eric and I will be helping with check in for the shuttles, if you're around Hangar in the morning, say hi! If you're self-shuttling I hope to see you on the trails, or at the finish! Check your bikes and kit over one last time tonight, and safe riding to all...
And if you're not going to have a safe ride, hopefully the person behind you has a GoPro running!!!

I think I talked @Faust29 into the Hellacious Ride, starting from Big Bear Village. Making it a 50 miler and dropping down 7 Oaks.

EXCELLENT!!! What route are you going to take???

 

[mtnbikej]

Knickerbocker up, down 7 Oaks, Frontage Rd to South Fork, then do the Hell Ride.

@mtnbikej, down Radford, turn left on Frontline or all the way down to Seven Oaks and climb up to South Fork from there??

Serious, this is great! What time are you hoping to get rolling???

Down 7 Oaks.....Singletrack

Not sure just yet...:still in the planning stage.

I will be living vicariously through your ride report(s)! I'll be on a boat trip with the family!

 

[SnakeCharmer]

Down 7 Oaks.....Singletrack

There is a ST that drops from up top all the way down into the valley?

Holy crap, why didn't I know about this???!

I need to get out and ride more often.

 

[mtnbikej]

To the bottom of Radford.....then we gotta climb up the Feontage Rd/7 Oaks Rd to South Fork.

Same as what I did at the Grizzly.

Interesting. I watched a video on youtube. It's fairly short considering the descent.

I guess I am gonna have to add that to my to-do list when we are staying up in BB.

Only thing that sucks to make it a loop, is you either climb back up Radford or Clark’s Grade. Fortunately, we don’t have to worry about that tomorrow.

Sorry.....been a busy week. I didn’t catch it. Then again, I just thought it up this morning.

What is the shuttle strategy on this? I'm thinking maybe Voodoo and I would be interested in this....

I could get the 6 of us up to South Fork where I’m dropping off GregO and Vincent. It’ll be a snug fit.

Then someone can drive me back up afterward to Big Bear Village.

For when Hell Ride isn't hellish enough!!!!

From BB if you ride towards Sugar Loaf and look for the Wild Horse trail, that drops you just above South Fork near the begging of Hell Ride.
I don’t have time to look in my strava for that route but it’s there. So you can follow it.

Thanks....I’m good with my intended route.

Way back when Hell Ride started (and only had about 10 guys), it started in Big Bear.

And the temps felt cooler than they have been in the last 3 years.

If you make it a 50 we'll make it a 50.

I can drive you back up if needed, if I'm still alive.
