pretty sure Adam took the day off, so an early departure for a LRC shuttle is very possible
yeah, i took the day off. i'm cool w/ getting outta here just after the morning rush-hour. i have a call into OTE to find out his schedule. haven't heard back yet.
I spoke with OTE Sunday evening, he said our departure time is complete dependent on the 3 of us (ManD, Blend, and Me). He is camping and gets home Thursday evening.
I'm down to leave anytime Friday so we can shuttle LRC.

I'm down for leaving any time friday too, particularly if it means more rides.
Blender?
Blender?
How about a 7am departure time from OTE's. Maybe sneak in two LRC shuttles?
wow that's early.. but i can try to swing that.
how far is OTE's house from our area?
OTE lives in Burbank right off the 5.
Got a shiny new helmet that hopefully won't see impact. Can't wait to ride!

Dude.. me too... just got my brand new 661 Flight today!
We'll have to throw them on the ground first..
Picked up an Oneal Moto helmet. Hopefully I won't need it.
I hope both of you know that you are asking for it now. Nothing says I can't wait to crash like getting a new helmet.
Holy crap 7am is early. I have to see what time our crew is planning on leaving. I would just prefer to go either before or after rush hour traffic....

if OC aint goin until 9am. Burbank shouldn't be thinkin' bout leaving until 10 if we want to match arrival times.
in all honesty, that sounds more like my cup of tea
i wouldn't mind being well rested before a full weekend of shred, rather than trying to catch up on sleep the whole time.
edit: ughh.. if you read what i typed here before, plz ignore it

Oh BTW, everyone needs to bring a shower towel. That is the only thing that is not there. Other than that we should have all cookware and other BS.
i'm bringing a 3-piece set of 2 way walkies.. in case Edgy is too slow, and needs us to wait on him.
No thanks, I prefer to air dry.
What is the final cost of the condo? Looks like there will be 10 of us.
P and A, what time on Friday do you want to leave? I'm up for whatever.
Anyone know if doing to 2 LRC shuttles would be too much?

LRC twice... I've done it...LRC is like an SJT/Wilson ride with better scenery smooth flowy with a few obstacles, some sections have mild pedaling. I'd prefer it on a trail bike though. I'm bringing a half shell for that one. Twice could be fun if we round robin...that way we just bang it out. Might be down for just one charge and then some
that's what i'm talkin' about.. save the legs for Sat/SunMight be down for just one charge and then some
$45 a head I believe.
i'm down for the single LRC run, then some clankity-clank of beer glasses.
i maintain that our crew leaves about an hour after the OC shift goes. OC at 9am, LA at 10am. LA crew should be at J$ place around 930 to pack stuff. and play rock-paper-scissors for shotgun.

The snow has melted a ton since Monday. Although it looks like not nearly enough for them to open the top of the mountain.
Taken from another board;
- Due to snow above the Main Lodge only the lower trails will be open.
- The following lower mountain trails will be open: Uptown, Downtown, Paper Route, Big Ring, Timber Ridge, Lakes Trails, Juniper, Lower Bullet, Lower Follow Me, Shotgun.
- The shuttle bus will start running on Saturday every 20-30 minutes from the Village for access back to the Adventure Center from 9:00 to 5:30.
- With continued melt-off and a bunch of hard work from trail crew we plan on having gondola access to trails from McCoy Station and the Top of the Sierra on July 3."
Bummer, but whatever....lets just go ride.

Paper Route baby!!!!
Watch out for the kid on the big wheel hell take you out!Paper Route baby!!!!
Man i havent seen that game in ages!
Damn thats a pretty limited selection of trails. Being able to take a lift up with the DH bike will be fun though!
ugh.. oh well..
if the mountain sucks, we could do some repeat LRC shuttles
is anyone considering bringing a lighter trail bike? hardtail maybe?
or DH bikes all around?

Fellas, bad news. Confirmed with Mammoth that the gondolas will NOT be running. I repeat, they will NOT be running. In this case, there is no way in hell that I see the money we'll be putting out for lodging, gas, food, etc to be worth the trails they'll be opening up to us. In addition to that, we'll be dropping another 30-40 bucks to ride from the main lodge down to the village.
I say we try to pull out of the rental thing saying our trip was booked entirely on the fact that we thought the mtn was going to be open for riding, but of course we learned otherwise. Its worth a shot. If not, we can cut our losses and just pay Joe for the place and stay local.
What do you guys think?

I completely agree. Thats too much $$ and travel time etc. to ride XC kitty litter trails! ON top of that ..they still want to charge full price for s huttle ride...no good. From Joe's perspective on the condo...yes, this trip was booked on the FACT that the info provided by Mamoth is/was misleading. If this was reserved via credit card, I would discuss it with them as you have rights as a cardholder.
OR
Lets work out NOrthstar now!
I hate to admit but this might be the best thing to do. Cut our losses (pay Joe of course) and hit SS on Saturday in masse instead or reschedule for next weekend.
J$ is out camping so I can't comment on his position regarding N*, but i'm pretty sure he'd be out of Mammoth for the no-lift situation.
Not sure I'm down for N*, i'll think about it and decide later today. who else is rolling there? who is staying local and interested in a SS?
