Post your Labor day rides here. Friday through Monday

I was thinking about SkyPark, but they are doing an event this entire weekend, and it looks like it might be crazy crowded. :(

I might do SkyLine instead. It will be three weeks off the bike for me if I am able to ride Saturday ... had an event a couple of weeks ago, and randomly hurt my shoulder last Saturday, old age style. I really hope I can ride this weekend.

Lotsa asphalt...gotta check with the wife on whether it's Saturday or Sunday. Monday is out. If you've never been to the top of the ski lifts, it's worth the effort. Monroe on the way down for singletrack. But it would be an early start and a very long day.

Edit: Saturday is my ride day.

Wait you ride your mountain bike up GMR GRR then to Baldy ski lifts turn around and go back down Monroe Truck Trail
 
Anyone want to ride September 3rd, tomorrow? Loch Leven, SART, radford and 7 oaks are on the menu. I want to do the backside of the grizzly 100 course. Earlier the better for me. Starting at 7am but we can decide where to start from

We could leave loch leven out cause it's already gonna be a brutal ride. Just let me know guys!

Message me

Did Skyline in Big Bear today! Awesome as usual. Met Rocket ron up there, and ninja Don and I rode up together. Perfect weather, cool breezes. Crossed paths with about 3-4 small groups of mtbikers, several hikers spread out on the trail. No mechanicals, I had a minor front tire slip and rubbed up against a couple of rocks. Coming down Plumbers was excellent as usual!

Excellent route! I'm kicking around the idea of something like that, but not quite there yet. How was it???

It was a little warm on the climbs but once you got moving the heat wasn't felt. Cool breezes, sandy/dry as usual, radford was loose but felt easier than the last two times. Tough as hell but I complained a lot less this time than the last two haha. MY 7 oaks run was near perfect (still dragging brakes and braking too much on corners). Just felt good out there! I ran into about 6 bikers. Most of them on skyline and one on SART

Thanks for the details! I'm trying to talk people into doing something similar as a bike-packing route, and will use your feedback to bolster the case!!!
