I'm pretty sure it was changed to Golden Eagle because the September 9th Skyline ride was to celebrate my birthday.

I'm going to keep an eye here, and see if I can do this. Depends on how I feel - the GE tumble is still having effects.

Probably not. But I just had my 2nd day on the demo and I am PR'ing everything on that!That new avatar is so you!!!I'll bet you could PR everything on that steed.
You gotta feel better for Big Bear Brothah! Fast healing!

Let's play it by ear...
We'll make sure we can split in to two groups at a key point if need be...

I'm probably going to park at the top of the hill, at the Radford grade intersection. That's a good meet up spot as it is at the top of the climb, and it'll let me do the rest of the ride (presuming out to Plantation loop) and back w/out any drama. So that's a good option for anyone wanting to be in the B group. I'd recommend starting up there, rather than burning up all your matches on the climb to get there.Let's play it by ear...

I've never ridden Skyline. I need to. Gods willin' and the river don't rise.

Maddog and I were talking about climbing up Moonridge road to fire road then get on Skyline as an alternative to climbing Fern/Plumbers (more difficult climbs) . Then doing skyline east to west , doing a loop back to the SS parking lot via town trail, about 24 mi. loop. An option for those who'd rather not do the 30 ish mile out and back. Possibly an option for @Cyclotourist and /or the @UPSed.Let's play it by ear...

I think I'd rather go up Fern than take Moonridge/Clubview. Still mulling over options... maybe not 100% able to go now... just realized my kid has a CX meet that morning. Decisions, decisions...

Damn that means the lift might not be running or the stuff at the bottom for the kids.

And it's supposed to be upper 80s and bone dry in Oregon. Something is backwards here.

That is normal for Big Bear, they get a fair of amount of rain during the summer there after July.And it's supposed to be upper 80s and bone dry in Oregon. Something is backwards here.

Yeah, I think last Mon and Tues they were getting heavy rain.

I'm bummed... I bet it's awesome up there with (or in) rain. Last September I rode in Oakridge, and it was in the 30s on the mountain! This year I'm going to sweat... I was really looking forward to some cold wet riding.
You guys have fun!

Rain is great... it's the atmospheric static discharge that ain't so fun to be around!

Exactly. When we were in Flagstaff a couple of months ago the rain was quite refreshing. However the lightning was a little unnerving.

Same thing for me riding in Del Mar... rain was great, but lightning strikes a hundred yards out... YOWZER!
