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

[Mikie]

so I am confuseded what is the date and time? Or are we holding the 17th

Hey Cagey,
Holding off until the last week of September due to some shoulder issues.
Looks like September 28th will be the new date.

 

[CBone]

All,
I have very frustrating news.
My shoulder is giving me grief and so I have arranged some doc appointments to see if I can get it resolved.
I have rescheduled to come out to California the last week of September.

I apologize for the postponement but I got to get this solved.
Plus, I would like to be out there when the heat is a bit lower.

Grrrrr!
Mikie

Maybe the rules will change by then and I can come.

 

[da big hills]

excellent, it will be cooler then. Sorry about the shoulder

 

[herzalot]

I may be in for this regardless of date. As I will be working in SoCal starting in about a week.

We could reprise our Bro-Fest from a couple years back - when we both rode @mtnbikej into the ground.

 

[Bluesrider]

I may consider the late September date, I’ll be about 5 months post surgery and could possibly be ready for a ride like this.

Two things to remember
1. Don’t crash
2. Bring helmet, maybe 2 helmets

 

[Tom the Bomb]

Good call Mikie. Healing vibes!

Hope you heal well.

 

[Cisco Roots]

I am in. Riding ancient Minions. Let's go!

 

[Y-not]

Is the route that is going to be taken the one shown in the invite ?

It’ll be a cattle run of cats out there. Folks may splinter off into the A-team, B-team, E-team, or even the DDD-team (party of one). I expect some HOoLiGaNs to ride precisely the route shown on the invite. Others may do a loop or two of extra credit if they show up. The main group will be a no-drop caravan.

 

[herzalot]

I will do the standard faire - up Boy Scout over to Logjammer - down that, up to Leprechaun, down that, grind back up to the lake. Drink a beer. Cook a dog. If I'm feeling spicy, I'll go up and down Boy Scout. I can't get me enough of them boy scouts!

I say that, but I've ridden a total of 8 miles and 1100' in the past 60 days.

[Sasquatch9billion]

Damn! Leave at 7:30 that morning for Portland.

Gonna miss ya @Mikie. You all have a blast though!

 

[Obsidian]

I am doing this route Friday the 23rd, very early, planning to roll @ 8sih. Might do two loops ... because I am built like that.

You need to cancel Portland. Give me you Bosses number, don’t they know who I am?

(Like the MasterCard commercial). Mtbing in the mtns with hooligans..........priceless. Decision is simple

 

[CBone]

If I am not mistaken, they charge for parking in the lot at Jackson lake on weekends. Be prepared.
Oh, and I am in.

It's no problem to park on the road which is very close to the parking lot

There are limited parking spots on the road and we will need a wilderness pass there also. Besides that is @scottay ’s parking spot

Are you sure about the pass needed on the road? The road is pretty long I don't think it's limited on spaces

Unless something has changed you need a pass to park along the road in ANF - No?

I wonder if this will work.

 

[Obsidian]

The annual pass is only $30. I bought one last time I was up there.
