Now that you mention the cooler temps, what are the odds of being struck by lightning? I'll bring the wet lube!

Guess it depends on how much lightning to expect. Anyone live up there? If not, I'll send a freind of mine a message and see what he thinks. SART would be an option for me, I think a strike there would be less likely.
Pretty sandy though, should make it more tacky I would think.

It'll change 13 more times before Saturday.

Agreed. Just letting others now in case they were considering canceling so far out.
I won't cancel, but if no one else shows up I'll ride somewhere else.

My weather channel app shows 40%, split the difference!

As long as only the lower 30% of my body gets wet, I'm okay with it.

So what's the proposed route/meetup spot?

Snow Summit Parking lot, and route is TBD?

Crafts and Cranks Pro/Cat1 course was about 25 miles. A little change can add more single track and remove the fireroad at the beginning. Included Plantation, Wet Dream, Skyline, Plumbers, Pirates, and Fern. Unless someone already has a route.

Add a few miles if you start from the bottom, obviously.

I believe this was done last time. The idea of 2 groups was mentioned earlier. I posted earlier Maddog and I were probably going to climb up the Moonridge side to fire road , then hop on skyline.

Considering a lift to the top of Snow Summit and riding Skyline from up there, depending on where everyone is starting from. I'm slow and don't climb good!

I'm out on this one. Rode today instead. Eventually I'll get to Big Bear and Wrightwood.

Yep, I'm in with scan! Never ridden Skyline before so I'm looking forward to it. We're gonna adjust the climbing a bit by going up the FS road at the start and stringing together a few more FS roads on the west end to return to SS hopefully with a little addition of the lower 1/3 of Going Green if we can access it easily. Looks like it can be done on the map from Trailforks
! Of course we may run out of gas and take one of several bail-outs on the return but since it's going to be cool, I think we'll do the intended loop. Anyone is welcome to join us on this modified route.
