Total: 16 people
Date:
Looks like we're settling on June 11th. Should we even consider reschedualing if the weather goes crazy? Auburn is still fun wet, but with so many people, we'd probably be doing little to improve the trails' condition.
Trails:
I think we'll probably end up hitting Tunnel/Culvert once or twice, fool around in the Mammoth OHV park for a while, and then end the day at the Auburn DJs.
Bring:
Water
Money (For food and tipping the guys who wasted gas on shuttle runs)
Water
Snacks
Water
Cameras
Spare Tubes
Tools
Auburn is pretty exposed, so it gets hot in the summer. I don't know how hot it'll be when we ride, but it's always good to be prepared. Also, we might not be able to get SUPER COOL action shots during the trail riding, but the DJs are a good spot for motion blur and any other type of artistic expression.
Remember that thread, a few days back, that volunteered a very muddy sunday for a group ride in Santa Cruz? Remember how, back in the day, people would actually organize group rides with complete strangers over the internet and experiance places they've never been before?
Yeah. That stuff was pretty happenin'. TotalHeckler put together an awesome meet a week ago, and I figure since summer is starting to roll around, we might as well try to organize more of these group rides.
We should probably get some suggestions as to where this will go down. Keep in mind that this thread is all about brainstorming, putting this thing together one part at a time, and eventually comming up with a place and a date that'll best suit all the people attending. Thusly, this probably won't happen this weekend, or next weekend, but you get the point.
I, for one, throw up Auburn. There are plenty of legal shuttle-able trails up there and it's definently within' driving distance for most of this sub-forum. The trails usually last from ten minutes to a full half hour, depending on which one you choose. Having so many trails, however, might make it difficult for this to be a "group ride" if people want to try this and that. I talked to a few cats while at the last group ride and found that they were interested.
I've heard of some good riding at a place called Perrot's Ferry. Personally, I've always wanted to check that place out. Anyone willing to show a group around that trail?
Anyone else interested?
