You can end at chaney if you want but we usually take the horse trail from there to Alt Loma and something or other. We leave the shuttle car at the "JPL Parking lot" (as it has come to be called) on Windsor.Grizzle said:I live near wilson, but i've never done it. Im assuming you drop a vehicle at chaney, and take the shuttle vehicle to red box? Im down to ride on the 17th as well, and i have a 5 bike + 5 person total carrying capacity. I can drive if people can pitch in for gas, assuming im invited, hehe. Its not that im greedy, just that my truck gets about 13 MPG driving in the crest.
I hear ya. By yourself you can run it in about an hour. With a group it's an all day affair. (Which is fun once in a while).bfranke said:I'm hip to it, as long as it doesn't turn into one of those 6 hour rides that usually can be done in 2 or so.
nah... the N*/D'ville trip killed my vacation and finances. It was so worth it though!lovebunny said:not goin to nats mike?

If you have more than 5 people or if anyone is on a big bike or is in less then stellar shape I highly recommend stopping for 10 minutes at the hotel. It allows the slower riders to catch up and let's you catch your breath before you hit the climb (which is less then a mile).downhillzeypher said:This is getting kinda big... but be forewarned that there will be minimal breaks. We won't be stopping at the hotel or the road.
Yeah man, but you're like Superman.bfranke said:I'll be there and have no problem with no breaks, big bike and all. Makes for stonger riders in the end
skatetokil said:I'm in to ride sat. but is it possible to leave at a more humane hour? I know that to get to altadena from corona by 8 you have to wake up at like 6, and I have no desire to get up before 7 on a saturday myself. Lets say 9:30 ot 10:00 eh?
I have boozing to attend to and all.
We freaking waited until 8:20!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didn't ever see a red tacoma at the top or bottom when we finished. What a flake!downhillzeypher said:PM's have been sent out. SHUTTLE LEAVES AT 8AM SHARP! If you don't see us there, then get you arse in your car and get up on own.
Ahhhh.. man. When you are leading a ride you have to NOT ANSWER THE PHONE if there is a chance work might call you in. Or, "Sorry, my grandma died yesterday". You owe them free double doubles.downhillzeypher said:hey sorry everyone. I got called into work early. Really wanted to go, but we were short people.
