Who's Riding Where???

[SnakeCharmer]

The Gabrielino is rideable, not perfect but it rarely is. Rasta Force Recon blazed the trail, leaving nothing but smoke and ash in our wake.
Things get interesting after you drop into the Arroyo past the Bear Cyn trail junction. There are numerous downed trees but nothing really major. Rockslides and debris cones block the trail in a couple of spots but the bed is undamaged.
The Arroyo is running cold and deep and my feet finally got wet on a misjudged stream crossing that had me dip both Gore-Tex boots over the top while pedalling through.

That's not my ride. Ask @Tom the Bomb

Should I ask him for you, too?

 

[Tom the Bomb]

Yes thinking Sat. Not sure just yet. Probably just the traditional Strawberry loop. Will know more Fri and will post.
Thanks Rossage you da man!
What were your stats today?

Of which?
Greer Ranch or Strawberry on a school day? Or something happening on Saturday.
I’m in for something on Saturday, but I still have to show up for work Monday through Friday this week. You kids go have fun!

Not sure either but maybe, I have to decide if I am doing this social distancing thing that I know I should be doing?

Social distancing with friends is much better than social distancing among strangers, or alone. Either way, you're social distancing, right?

Today was easy. Rasta Recon Big Mike didn't feel up for the whole Monty, so we just shuttled from Red Box. 14miles/3900elev. DROP/ 660ft climb.
Add 10 miles and 2800ft climb for the whole lollipop

So “Big Mike” is not about how tough he is but more about his waist size?



I’ll see myself out.

If it's the same "Big Mike" as the one I rode with on one of the PCE rides (rides a grey SC Bronson), then yes, he truly is Big (tree trunk sized) and his name is Mike.

You're just saying that because he has the same name as you.

Ever’ body on imtbtrails named Mike is cool. Check it out.

Ahhh, shucks.

 

[Danmtchl]

I will try on Friday to see how far up the trail I can go. Maybe to PMC.

 

[rossage]

Yeah, we used his brawn to push a few downers off the trail. Came across some boulders the both of us couldn't budge. Guy's a weightlifter. Strong as an ox, needs to work on the cardio.

I want to ride this crazy trail

Wonder if it’s really that vertical or if it’s just the effect from the camera.

 

[evdog]

LOL at first question: Where is this? If you have to ask..... you usually shouldn't!

I believe that's an EWS stage

That looks a whole lot like Brendan Fairclough risking his life up there. Good thing they are wearing helmets, y'know, in case they fall.

I am sure those helmets will help with the fall

 

[mtnbikej]

Just like my hardhat will save my life if a steel beams falls from the 3rd floor.

 

[herzalot]

I am sure those helmets will help with the fall

Probably should wear BASE jumping parachutes...

We come from the land of the ice and snow
From the midnight sun
Where the hot springs blow....
