OK gang, who is going where and when? I've got a bucket list I'm working on for the summer and I'm a social butterfly, so let's do this. Post up a location and a date that works and we can figure out the shuttle/carpool/hotel situations.

-Idyllwild
-Santa Barbara
-Pinos
-SLO
-Downieville
-Tahoe/Northstar
-Mammoth
-Moab
-Arizona ???
-Whistler - currently working on a combo trip for a week of Whistler/SilverStar/Kamloops/Shore and working it around Krankworx dates. I've got buds in Seattle that are rolling, so we can get good rates on condos and gas money.

I have a season's pass to Northstar so i plan on going as often as possible, i believe Blender bought a pass, as well.

I know we talked about your Whistler/BC trip, how long are you planning on being there and how are you getting up there?

as for your other trips, my plan is to ride somewhere every weekend and i have a shuttle truck.

The rough Whistler plan is as follows:
Day 1 - Fly to Seattle at night and meet up with my buds
Day 2 - Drive to Silver Star and ride
Day 3 - SilverStar
Day 4 - Silverstar
Day 5 - Kamloops
Day 6 - Whistler
Day 7 - Whistler
Day 8 - Shore and drive home
Day 9 - Fly home

There is some room for movement. The plan is to get into some Krankworkx fun, so we are going to try to make that overlap work.


We are hitting a Reseda run Sunday. Possible SJT next weekend?

Idyll this Saturday, perhaps?

I'm thinking about an end of season trip to Whistler in September sometime.

I'll be @ N* the weekend of Aug 20-22nd for sure. I'm sure we'll have plenty of Tahoe & Mammoth trips.

I cannot make the Sat Idyll...grr. Wifey has a marathon. All-day-er there.

We might be in N* 3rd week of July.

Wild hair up my ass may mean opening weekend WHISTLER for me. I know it costs tons and it is lower mountain only, but why wait. Memorial Day trips anyone?

Adam.
i picked up a season pass to N* as well, so I'll be up there as much as I can this summer.
Mammoth later in the season, when all the trails are opened up. Probably late July/early August.
One trail that is on my list this summer is Lower Rock Creek in Mammoth. I've never ridden it and heard great things. I'll finally have a bike for it too.

I plan on riding lots of Baldy, Big Bear and Idyllwild in-between those trips.
Also, now that I'm about to have a trail bike, I'll be getting my aggressive XC on!

Whistler isn't in the cards this year unfortunately, as I have other trips planned. I am, however, considering going to Rampage.

Baldy is wack. It's not loose or steep enough.:rolleyes:
It's the west-coast. It's all fast and wide open and easy trails. Nothing loose, or steep, or rocky. All that "slow, technical" stuff is on the east coast. Better head out there.

Anyone hitting up BB to run the "sketchy" trails? I have a bike that might pass regulations.

Post up your trips, if you need another body to split costs, I'll probably be down. Haven't ridden with you SoCal monkies in a while...:doh:

Looks like plans for 4th of July weekend in Northstar are here. I'm in a crew rolling up on Friday, getting there late, then riding Sat and Sun, and driving back Sunday night. We have cars loaded and are going up in two shifts. It is my b-day, so come and party!

Also, Whistler/Silverstar is solid. I'm arriving at Silver Star Wednesday 8/11/10 and will try to get in the extended play time, then riding there Thurs and Fri, and then off to Whistler. Will be at Whistler until Wed the 18th, then driving back in the morning and stopping at THE SHORE!!!

BTW - Tahoe Trip has us staying at the Tahoe Inn in Kings Beach.
