We are registered.

Bonus.......The Professor's bday is that Friday.

OC Shuttle 1 is at capacity.

 

[Rumpled]

Ouch, looks like a four hour drive. From the OC area, do people go through Bako or Ridgecrest?

If I go, I think I'd have to make this a two night stay. Maybe camping. Must do further research.

 

[DangerDirtyD]

B-field if you wanna join the shuttle. Ridgecrest if you take an Uber to the trailhead.

Registered. Woot.

In the morning the traffic is kind... We left Orange around 3:30, and arrived at the diner at 6:30. We waited for it to open at 7:00...

The return trip... well, that’s another story...

Jennifer and I will be heading up Saturday morning then staying the night at https://kernvilleinn.com/

 

[DangerDirtyD]

Kernville Inn is as good a hotel in town that you can find. If you wanna camp, PM me for a Hooligan Spot along the first mile of the trail. @rossage sent some smoke signals from there last year.

Sept 7 is the decided date?

It better be....that’s what we have been registering for.

And the shuttle is $45?

 

[buggravy]

And the shuttle is $45?

Yes, it shows $40 until you put it in your cart and then it's $45. Guessing the $40 is the weekday price.

That’s just the “I’m coming with Mikie Watson” special rate.

 

[SnakeCharmer]

It must have been a long, long time since I have done this ride. IIRC, the shuttle price was in the upper $20s back then. Has it really been that long?!

 

[Redman]

Sure and Thanks you!
Bring them charged. I may get some back ups as having a couple of sets will be needed on future rides.
Thank you so much-O!

I have a pair of Motorola Talkabouts I can bring as well. IF I MAKE THIS RIDE.

Big Brothah Mike is not going to let you down. You got this!

Looks like it’s a yes then

 

[mountaingirl sara]

Woo hoo, awesomeness! Thanks Suz!! @horsebikerider

 

[mountaingirl sara]

+1

It's easy, @mountaingirl sara. When you see it looking questionable ahead of you, a quick dismount and it's done. Don't feel obligated to be heroic way the hell out there. If you do feel obligated, do what I implore the weez: Get the F behind the seat, hang on, and think light and nimble!

Thanks Mike! In a strange way I’m actually learning to appreciate this new found fear and using it to be a more cautious and calculated rider than I was before

Might have to hit a wilderness hot springs next to Kern River post ride... About 400 river yards down from miracle hot springs...

 

[Cornholio]

Close to obtaining a hall pass.

Way to tap it, Sar! Channeled rightly, fear is an incredible motivator and focuser – does not have to be the immobilizer that it's commonly thought as. Thinking back on some of the times I was truly gripped in the thick of it...glad to have had that extra push from the inside

Channel on!!!!!!

Thanks again amigo...I always like to read your words of wisdom! Wish you and the Mrs could make it!

OK I’m gonna go home and just throw it out there and dodge the skillet and rolling pin (and poopie diaper) as they get hurled across the room at my head.

I’ll be the C team.

Score yourself some brownie points D, you have almost a month man! Get it done!

 

[Cornholio]

I booked a seat, this is gonna hurt bad. Although, even with little riding these days I am active with my kids and in better shape than I was last time I rode Cannell in 2014. Plus this coming Saturday's Floop ride will get me in shape for it, right?

 

[herzalot]

OK, OK, OK - the FOMO is getting to me. I'll check schedules and the haul pass ledger. How many of you will back out if I join in?

Yeah buddy!

 

[Cornholio]

Thinking of heading out Friday and staying at the Inn or the place next to the brewery Fri/Sat nights. I may have that whole week off leading up to it so might as well. Leaning towards the place next to the brewery.

I’ll go twice! Wait, wut?
