Never parked there in my life. I drive by every weekday morning around 6:45 though. Not open then.

The way this site is going, I took it to mean Single Speed at first.SS tomorrow.
Planning to be at the parking lot at the time they open the gates.
Will bring a couple ice cold one just in case some one is planning to go as well.
Glad to hear it's Snow Summit. Please land on your tires!

I was all geared up and ready to roll this morning, and then my plans were dashed…
Biggish loop tomorrow morning… Maybe the same one I did on Wednesday. Up the Toll Road and down the Gabrielino. Thanks to MWBA the Gabrielino is running nicely. Long stretches of people free riding, punctuated by the occasional crowded segment.
Earlyish start… 30/5000, with options to increase or decrease either number.

How early is earlyish? If I join for the Toll Road ascent you can, of course, feel free to drop me at any time.

I’d be happy to roll before 7:00… 6:00 would be better for heat avoidance.

If I'm not there by 6 am, don't wait. If I'm there by 6 am and I'm too slow, don't wait.

Shall we say 6:00 at the gate on Pinecrest?
I’d say meet at my house, but they are filming tomorrow, and the “no parking” signs are up everywhere.

The notice said "Capitol One commercial"... With live animals and party scenes!

I’m taking my nephew on a 
ride tonight through either Marshall Canyon or Bonelli. We’ll be lucky to get 1,000’ of climbing. I plan for him to be in front all night.

And I rolled onto my street and was greeted by about a dozen tractor trailers… generators, caterers, wardrobe, props, security, etc…

I'm wondering if one the actors working there was a gal that goes by the name Riley.

It seemed like they were shooting multiples, so I wouldn't be surprised if all the principal actors were on site yesterday. They were at it until 10:00 last night.

Inspired by my friends who hiked the full Tahoe Rim Trail...
The legally-ridable TRT is on either side of the lake – two big chunks. The east side from "Mount Rose Meadows" south to the terminus at the SOT is around 73/10k; the northwest side from Ward Canyon to Mount Rose Wilderness bdry at Mt Baldy is ~48/5700. Connecting around the south/west of the lake is a bunch of road and minor trail riding.
Some west-side dirt will be new to me. The finish trends mostly uphill, but it's after the resupply points in Meyers and Tahoe City. One or two bivouacs, using up the daylight plus bike lights is the plan. Not a full lap around the lake, just enough to get all the Rim Trail.

Due to circumstances in life.... it was suggested I take a day tomorrow (Friday July 23) and spend hours on my bike. Now, I have to decide the game plan.. several options popping through the ol noggin.
First, escape the heat and head to higher elevation...
Laps at Skypark?
Big Bear - take the lift and do some skyline/top of the mountain fun, then a few green/blue laps to finish up the day?
Or.. the heat might be more bearable tomorrow down here... Strawberry? Super Strawberry at a not super pace?
Somewhere cooler by the ocean??
If all else fails.. I might just explore millard/owen Brown grave/echo ruins... maybe push it to inspiraiton point... but that would depend on the legs...

There are no bad options...
Sunset? Middle Merrill? Ken Burton? Ken Prieto? Leave early enough and you might be able to tack on one or two to the other routes you mentioned.

Six to eight weeks for me.
