dsfox 0 Posted May 9, 2011 Well, Due to my broken hand, I can't post any "ride" pics other than sending the riders off from the campground..so hope they can post some of their pics if they took any......Saturday: 8 riders in all: johnnybags, girlfriend tracy, my son evan, don johnson, kkug, mistress and bald beemer and scott from big bear... I did totally enjoy the other weekend festivities...... Saturday was the most perfect spring day....75, sunny, warm breeze....I spent the afternoon hiking a few miles along the northshore of the lake, basked in the sun in a big open field I had all to myself... .and later in the evening, johnnybags generously treated us birthday girls (mistress and me) and friends to a bbq dinner and we all hung out by the campfire....Good times...and THANKS AGAIN John!.... Today, John treated Evan, I and tracy and family to mothers day breakfast out at the Teddy Bear Cafe..Again, much appreciate the warm mountain hospitality!!! .. Today was more cloudy, windy and quite cold up there, so Don and ken were the only riders today... I heard this afternoon it was about 44 degrees.... don enjoyed a steak!...as finger food!!

kkug 147 Posted May 9, 2011 Yep -Me and Don rode today. Started off ok but as the day turned into mid afternoon it started to get cool and windy. After we crossed Deep creek we decieded to slab it back. (Getting late) We rode in fog ( Dangerous ) and cold. Back at the truck it was 44 then 40 then on the way home we saw 37 . Burr More to come.

As always, excellent ride with the most excellent people. And of course Big Bear didn't disappoint, we ended up with our traditional 'Mother's Day' snow. I awoke to a light dusting this morning. It will struggle to break out of the 30's today. 4 Mother's Days here for me here in BB and it HAS snowed on or after each one. Thanks Captcham for organizing and the campground hospitality.

don johnson 0 Posted May 11, 2011 I had a great time even with ~ 30 miles pavement at or below 45 DEG in fog with less than 60 feet visibility down to 5 feet a few times. Looking on the bright side it didn't snow on us. The riding was great, many new to me trails. The way I like it. Didn't take many pictures so here they are.

Mistress of the dual 1 Posted May 11, 2011 Sooner than you think.How was the ride home?? We wound up taking the freeway for a good portion of our trip home; it was a bit cold and uneventful. I already miss Big Bear and can't wait for Coon Creek in the fall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wonderwoman 0 Posted May 15, 2011 It looks like you all had a nice trip, I love the mountains, still haven't been riding in Big Bear yet. I'll keep a look out for the next trip. Maybe Beezzz and I can go. I would like to see warmer weather than you had though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DigDug 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Nasty I of course fell down.Never saw them that bad.good thing we were going down. When you say "Deep Creek" do you mean "Devil's Hole"? The crossing at the bottom of the sweet single-track? This one? I'm thinking about a Pinnacles run this coming weekend and wondering if the water levels at Devil's Hole are low enough yet to cross. Maybe I'll plan a ride over on the Big Bear side rather than the Arrowhead side instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsfox 0 Posted May 16, 2011 I'm not positive, but I think they crossed deep creek at the bridge.....came down from crab flats, so the rocks they mean were the ledges before the bridge?....but ken can post if otherwise... Thats a knarly water crossing there doug!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkug 147 Posted May 17, 2011 Deb is correct.We crossed the bridge. We did not get to see Devils Hole. We are slackers ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
