Fair enough, no other route makes sense to access those two trails consecutively. Really need to get Holy Jim back open to provide more options.
Who's Riding Where???

Yeah... Those 30-35% grades in spots seem flat and easy on the brakes.
But... I'm sure it can't compare to "Critters".

Joplin doesn’t seem very steep to me since I can ride it with the Rumblefish. I would hesitate taking the Rumblefish down MM, and now I’m even scared to take the 26er Trek Slash anywhere like that because I became dependent on the aggressive squiggle bug with the knobbie rear tire and Magura MT7s. The only other bike I have ridden down Joplin was the Giant AC2 with 20-yr-old geometry. My take away, albeit riding safe both times, is that Joplin is a wild and rugged trail, but steep was not a characteristic I recall.Yeah...

Thursday evening is another Crazy Bear shop ride departing at 6:30pm. I think I'm going to show up with the 'Cuda A2R circa 1994 because my last three rides have been on three different bikes, and I'm running out of options to continue the trend.

Yes according to OC Parks...fully open.
Huh? I'm just setting out too but I'm not sure if I'm going to Aliso or maybe go TNA since I haven't done that in a long time

Whiting-Luge-Whiting with my friend Gene. Meet at Wahoos lot at 9:00 am.
Pay respects at Luge flag.
Then try to beat @Lost Kiwi's time down The Luge. I only have to cut 10% from my best recorded time!

A gallon of beer isn’t that much is it?

None of that metric crap. 128 oz is equal to 10 2/3 standard beers (at 12 oz each). If one cannot do math, one may stick to metric. For those of us who can think, fluid ounces rule.
Liters and decaliters are just stupid.

I went to a hipster bar in L.A. once, and their beer glasses were labeled in centiliters.
I currently have one in my cabinet. A gallon of beer isn’t that much is it?
It's only two growlers. Or four crowlers.

Great - so see you at the trailhead at 9:00!
Warning - my friend Gene is notoriously late, and the pace will be mind-numbingly slow (due to me, not Gene).
EDIT: I was correct in one way and wrong in two others. Gene was not late. The pace was mind-numbingly slow, but NOT due to me. Due to Gene's quad cramps for 2nd half of the ride.

The wife will be off to Temecula tomorrow to hang out with a friend and do whatever they do. This means I get to go for a longer ride.
There will be a mountain involved.

I talked Dante into riding the Baked Potato tomorrow, so I’m staying local. Have a good ride!I wasn't sure I would be able to ride Sunday, but as it stands right now, I plan on heading up the mountain. Uncertain route... But I wouldn't mind putting up some big numbers up and down.
