Vacman this ride is calling your name! I can't do a Saturday ride but I'm sure you guys will have fun!

Actually going to be riding nearby but doing palomar divide and some other stuff off the 79. Maybe we will cross paths though.

90% in, the Hideout is on the way home...

If I'd finished setting up my replacement bike I'd be there, bash plate and other protection is en route so I'll have to pass. Looks like a fun route though, have fun.

I am leading a hike or I might have done this . Close to home .

That sounds better than taking in-laws from Texas to the beach on the 4th of July weekend to me ...but I doubt my wife will agree. I'll see what I can do...

Sounds like a nice ride. I'm in.

Is a newcomer welcome on this one? Sounds like a great ride to get a little off road experience.

[TrophyHunter 15]

Of course. Nate Harrison is friendly, Black Canyon is a dirt freeway. You'll probably outride me anyway.....

[Neil San Diego 0]

In that case...In.

[Afry 1]

Don't wait for me, might meet you at Bear Valley Parkway

[Afry 1]

Edit, make that Valley Pkwy.

Got it Arnie.......
