did that ride for the first time this weekend and it was a blast pics should be here as soon as J sends them to me. anyone else like doing this run?

we did the whole run from redbox to jpl. there are some big flow killers after you hit switzer and it can be a death-hike-a-bike at times. in the future, the shuttle from redbox to switzer and back is the way to go. i'm down for that run any time. just call it out and i'll be there.

Yeah..I've done that a few times a couple of years back but after doing the standard Wilson I just preferred to do that. Your are right though, the section from RB to Switzers does flow. I'm trying to get something goin ie Wilson, BB, Noble, Sjt. How's this; a couple of RB to switzers then Wilson standard...we'd need some cars though.

 

[mandown]

dude, that would be an awesome combo. who's got trucks?
i can get 3 bikes in my ride.
J1 can get a big load in his tuck (we've almost had 10 in there)
J2 can go with 2
G likes that run and he has room for 3 or 4

who else is interested?

I'm down for a shuttle this weekend. Are they trails pretty tame or do they require more than a XC helmet?

 

[WestCoastHucker]

nothing more than a skid-lid is needed....

 

[mandown]

yeah, a half dome should cover it. there is one section of rock garden that may slow your roll if you aren't running a grill-cover.

 

[Nagaredama]

Is this the ride that parallels the Angeles Crest for part of the way. Not the Merrills to Sunset loop correct?

 

[mandown]

you got it. it is one long bomber run. a few switchbacks, some rock gardens, one gnar section, lots of flow, even wildlife.

Thats correct. RB is where the road to Wilson Observ. starts and Switzers is the first campground on the way back down.

as usual, a solid group of monkey's! it was good getting to ride with such a strong group.........and looking foreward to next time (with less climbing)

 

[mandown]

...and fewer flats.

 

[WestCoastHucker]
