imtbtrails Members Wrightwood Invite!

Believe it or not....this isn’t about you. ;)@herzalot has been using the cat as an excuse for years. The hamster and goldfish are now my new go to. :thumbsup:
Pardon me. Obviously not aware of the inside jokes or secret handshakes. My only experience with these references is when they were applied to me as possible excuses to reject your ride invitation offered last week.

I believe a couple of Mikie's route options work out to exactly 2,999.4 feet of gain. Well within your wheelhouse.
Not my point. I already mentioned that I would do one of the options. Click here.

Just be aware of the implication- whether in jest or not - of alienating people who do not "go big." There's a whole thread about it.

Yes - "go big or go home." I'll stay on the bunny slope. You guys can go big. :thumbsup:

And that's why some people don't come on group IMTB rides... Rather stay home if it's not cool to ride less than 5000'.

Obviously I know we aren't going to do that on a mass group ride....plus, this isn't my ride.....I'm just an attendee.

No shaming intended or implied.....just some friendly poking with a stick. :D
 
In any community, there is pressure to assimilate to the norm. The norm of IMTB is big climbing numbers.

And some of us go anyway. Hell, I can't keep up with them either, but I enjoy riding along when they let me. As long as it's a route I've done before, I'm okay with them boogieing right along. As for Wrightwood, knowing that some will be there for the first time I doubt they'll leave anyone hanging.

Again, not my point. I've ridden with many of the best and most impressive riders on this website, and they are gracious and patient with whomever is along for the ride. My point, which I seem to be failing to make, is the ethos of "go big or go home" that is pervasive on this web site.

I'll shut up now. I seem to be poking the hive too much. :bang:
