Wrightwood… Wait? What? Nope! Meet at Newcome Ranch!

[Mikie]

Have fun storming the castle boys! Sorry to miss you this time @Mikie

Not happy!

I have a cunning plan...

We can do like that Scrubs episode and strap an old iPad to the front of a self-riding eBike, and you can face-time with the gang without the risk of impact/infection/abrasion/sunny weather.

I was all set to be at Newcomb's ranch, and then I remembered that to get there I have to take the 91 west to the 605 north (I-5 to 605 is a no-go on a work day) to the 210 west to the 2 north....

Someday Caltrans will wise up and repair and reopen the 4.4 mile stretch of SR 39 from Crystal Lake junction to SR 2. Even if only to bikes & peds (alternate 3). The bighorn sheep will readjust to where they were prior to 1978.

Caltrans sneakily does not date their missives, but the meetings dates kinda give it away.

Anyone wanna carpool up the mountain? I can rendezvous at the REI in Arcadia with anyone who wants to ride with me. @rossage?
What's the good word on a tailgate shindig post-ride?

 

[Rumpled]

What date is this happening?

This Saturday 9/28; riding Chilao; meeting at the Newcomb's Ranch Roadhouse at 9:30am.

 

[CBone]

Spent part of my work day in Wrightwood.
Road closed just west of town well before the slopes. Lots of gray but some green too. Lots of singed trees. Hopefully many will survive.
Picture looking southwest from the edge of town.

 

[CBone]

This is on the south side of the road looking northeast. The fire wrapped around from Table Mountain and tried to take this home out. Firefighters stopped it right behind the fence.

I am not worried about risk of those things. I am simply not in shape to ride in a group...particularly there.

Would you reconsider if someone were to offer you an E-bike to use?

Even if we made it a SupahCroozer? Silver Moccasin is hard to pass up.

Most likely a must as everything is so far away.

The switchback section of the Silver Moc is really trashed where the chunky stuff is. You're gonna love it.

No f-ing way!

I will ride locally between my daughter's water polo games and get back up to speed.

Better to miss out on great riding experiences than to ride an ebike.

Ride that thing to the grocery store and buy some PediaSure.

 

[scottay]

PediaSure

.
for muscle & bone development, brain & eye health, and immune support.

Looks like somebody on here could sure use some.

I can't make.
Y'all have fun without me
Even if you don't go to Chilao.

We'll always have Bommer and Trabuco! Next time...

So what's the plan, HOoLiGaNs, regarding post-ride food/tailgating? I suspect a good roast is on the menu.

Obviously I am limited on household resources, let me know what I. An go buy food related and I’ll do my best.

Who all are in? C’mon! Show and have some cruising’ fun! Plus I am recoding the vid for the imtbtrails channel.

I’m still in. I liked @scan ’s approach when he brought tailgate charcuterie at the last WW ride. That with beer and chippies is easier than grilling ribeyes and hot dogs for four people.

 

[scan]

I posted earlier I have to work. I switched my Saturday from the original ride date so I could ride, then we changed it. Oh well.

 

[Dr. Wellington Yueh]

In...though I might start on Pacifico side. I don't much care for driving CA-2 on the weekends.

Starting from where, exactly?

 

[Dr. Wellington Yueh]

Mill Creek SOT parking, just above the fire station. GoggleMaps link

EDIT: That way, I hafta climb Pacifico!

Sorry guys I'm going to have to be a big girls blouse and bail on this one.

I need to be back home in the arvo and that ain't going to happen if I have to drive through Hell A.
