Joliet 0 Posted September 10, 2008 Can someone draw a line around a map from Google Earth so I can see the loop? All these words are Hebrew to me. Thanks. I will try and do a map and gps tracks tomorrow, I mean I will try and talk Sandiegoland into doing it so I can take credit for it , did I just type that out loud....

Spaugh 1 Posted September 10, 2008 Hey Ken I had the same route mapped out from the time you, bagster,zina, clayton, alex, briana and I rode this loop down HA and up diablo. We camped out at blair valley and we never did the rodriguez loop that day. From the picture it looks like the rodriguez loop should be a quicky. Last time Briana and I did it in like an hour. Sorry the map is so small, maybe I can scan a new one tomorrow and make it bigger. You might be able to zoom on it Paul. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastaPilot 17 Posted September 10, 2008 I am the rumor Ken is mentioning... Looking at a map, it looks like I can get my 2 wheel drive truck there fairly easily... I'll have some bikes in the back for messing around, and have some water, gas, tools and snacks... still only a rumor at this point Bs, I've had second thoughts about riding this weekend and would rather staff a support truck. If you're in I'll join you. Hp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joliet 0 Posted September 11, 2008 I have made some changes to the ride, look at the first post. I will try to find time tomorrow to get some GPS tracks made. If there is someone that want to volunteer to drive their truck in and meet the riders, PM or call me 760-224-1808. Ken Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a lot of driving for me, and I don't have the stuff or knowledge to setup a staging truck, but if 2wd vs 4wd was the issue I was potentially volunteering, probably not a good idea for me anyway if its going to take me 5+ hours of travel time total at night.

piratemonkey 0 Posted September 13, 2008 Howdy, Ken and Brad, sorry I missed your PMs. I just saw them in my inbox but for some reason I wasn't sent an email that I got a PM (I normally get email). Anyhoo, I put the gps tracks I recorded from the first time we did the loop during the day here: http://www.zyppy.net/dirt/blair_valley_edited.gdb I'm out for this ride. I need to improve my useless headlight and, frankly, I just suck in the dark. Although, if you folks recall, I performed a shiftectomy on myself last time and my "Li'l Buddy" has moved since then so I should really perform another shiftectomy on myself. Still, I suck in the dark. Suck in the dark. Suck in the dark. BTW, can someone give me access to the "members only" board? I'd like to post my contact info there so I can be emailed directly if someone wants to reach me. El Pirate Monkeyo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

El Pirate Monkeyo booo Ok, after some mild haranguing by Brad -- including being called "Dude" several times so you know he's serious -- I'm in. (I think he was going to play the full "question the masculinity card" before realizing that goading someone by calling them a p###y when they are in fact a carrier of said item is rather ineffectual.) It appears there is no way to adjust the Husky headlight, but I have figured out a jerry-rig that might work for the evening. See ya'll out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
