Seems I was right on target here. My legs did indeed feel like quitting at about 2000', not surprised. We made it the extra 228' back to the car. Barely.Not worried about my legs. They were never very committed anyway. It's my ass I'm worried about.
But sitting on Sunday? Fuggeddaboudit!!!

Hey All,
Don't forget to post up your ride intentions.
I know that @SS Barby has been watching Trailheads and Jonesin' to get out to do Strawberry Peak, Chilao, Palm Canyon, and some Epic goods! Many have mentioned they are ready for a Cannell Plunge run, but I know that we have to wait for around 9 feet of snow to melt...
Stoopid snow!
I know I'm no one to talk with my last minute invites. I promise to get better as well.
Promise!

Yes correct @Mikie, the way you just explained it is the route intended to ride.

I kid. I don't expect anyone to show up. Including @herzalot, who lives just up the street. Not kidding about pushing and riding.

Do it. It's worth the extra climbs. Don't forget to stop and appreciate the views.

I suggest you take Valley Forge all the way down to the VF campsite. Then climb out on the fireroad.
VF single track crosses the Gabrielino near the bottom. So when you get to the first T intersection hang a left and ride down the Gab until you see a single track on the right. Take that right and after you cross the stream at the bottom you will be at VF campsite. Look for the asphalt road on the left and take that. It will merge with Redbox Rincón FR. Take that all the way up to Redbox
The Gabrielino is a fun but tougher climb up to Redbox. I imagine the creek crossings are all hikeabikes right now.
Heck, we might even run into you on our way from Chilao
