Bagstr 288 Posted May 2, 2009 DigDug, I think channeling your group from my sofa while watching MotoGP is in order. Nice to know there are still challenges out there. The weekend of the 15th, some of us mortals are camping at Holcomb Valley and doing the Tourist Routes. Looking forward to the film, Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ride-Orange 2 Posted May 2, 2009 Here's who I count:DigDug Mickey Joliet SCHWINN Bikeslut FakeName? RideOrange +3 For a total of 10 riders. Did I miss anyone??? RO and RO Jr. only. Mom Orange and Baby Orange will be in the truck heading to check-out the shopping in Big Bear. I'm heading to Big 5 now for a pass and extra vehicle pass (extortion at it's finest), so I will have an extra if needed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm awfully intimidated by the adv photos- I need to think carefully about doing this ride. I don't want to be holding people up. I promise my best effort...

DigDug 0 Posted May 2, 2009 Here's who I count: DigDug Mickey Joliet (meeting at Pinnacles) SCHWINN (meeting at Pinnacles) Bikeslut FakeName RideOrange RideOrangeJr Ste63 (meeting at Pinnacles) humptythumpty (maybe) don johnson 11 Riders... Good group!!!! Again, this is relatively strong group of riders. The goal here is to keep the pace moving so we can get the 50 mile loop in and then some (keep in mind that Redonda Ridge is 8 miles long and Mickey and my best time on it is 45 minutes - very minimal stopping - it's some rough stuff)... If you're on the fence - please check out some of the previous writeups and make sure you're up to the challenge... Again, not to dissuade anyone, just want to be up front about the ride/pace/etc... I'd suggest riders print out the map RideOrange linked in an earlier post in case you need to bail, take a shortcut/bypass/etc... My cell phone is in the Members Only section if you're running late and want us to wait a few. Also, if you have Ham radios, we'll be on channel 8 if you have my loadout - 146.505 MHz if you don't have the loadout.... Time to go change the rear tire on Mickey's bike... It's completely worn down from Moab two weeks ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joliet 0 Posted May 2, 2009 For you guys that don't know if you want to do the hard stuff or not, do not worry, before we get to the hard stuff, we will stop for water and split up into easy and hard ways. I don't think everyone here will want to do Redondo Ridge(or maybe they will, looks like an advanced group). If everything up to that point was easy, take the hard way, if you have been struggling, take the easy way. Last time I rode up there I was having an off day and took the easy way around. If I am having a bad day tomorrow, I will take the easy way around again. Wish I had my stabilizer mounted up for White mountain, could come in handy. See you tomorrow at Pinnacles.
