Yea, I'll be riding the Kitchen Creek 200K. Come on down for that, too, folks! You guys should just pick a day - I have a busy May with finals and commencement. Regardless, this sounds like a stellar route. Esteban San Diego, Calif. On Apr 17, 12:15 am, Aaron Thomas wrote: > June 5 is a 200k

June 5 is a 200k rando in San Diego, which may cut Esteban (and maybe me) out. I'd prefer a May date. On Apr 16, 11:59 pm, Seth wrote: > This route sounds good.  June 5th and 6th also sound good. > > Seth > > On Apr 16, 9:08 pm, Michael_S wrote: > > > > > Sorry I dropped out for a while ... had

Sorry I dropped out for a while ... had to go to Rancho Bernardo today to finalize daughters wedding site for next year. Either route would be a fun ride. I can do it any weekend in May. Early June could work too but by July the lower elevations would be hotter than you know what. Most of the res

Well, May 1 or 2 you all are invited to an epic So Cal Riv ride in eastern San Diego http://www.flickr.com/groups/socal_rivendell_bicycle_appreciation_society/discuss/72157623657931735/ But why not schedule this ride for another weekend in May? Esteban San Diego, Calif. On Apr 16, 11:30 am,

Whoaa! Guys, the "Acton in August" was a JOKE! See the little smiley guy? Antelope Valley frame builders just set the bikes out in the sun for 20 minutes & apply the brazing; no gas needed. Carbon wilts; aluminum melts. In SoCal during July-August-September you want to make sure you can see th

I'm really interested in this ride. Earlier the better. Why not do two versions? All-road in May and mixed in August. Unless we can figure a way to add some dirt to the mix in May. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group. To post to t

Who is talking August? Why not do it in May when the inland temperatures are not suffocating? I'm all for all-paved, but I'd still be up for it if it had an off- road component as well. On Apr 16, 9:21 am, Michael_S wrote: > Thinking about it we could alternatively go south from Mill Creek > Sum

Thinking about it we could alternatively go south from Mill Creek Summit and climb up Mt Gleason(~6500). There are some dirt Forest Service roads on the back side of Gleason we could take that would eventually take up back down to Acton. I've ridden them on a rigid MTB and we should be fine on 35mm

Mike & Aaron: I can't make the 21st but have ridden Angeles Crest, Angeles Forest, Big Tujunga, etc. Great riding; nice steady climbs. Another objective can be Mt Wilson and there's a loop that makes a century, but requires a lot of time on Foothill, between Sunland and La Canada. The Acton Met

I think it's a fun ride. We could leave from Acton Metrolink station and follow Angeles Forest Hiway over Mill Creek Summit down to Upper Big Tujunga rd. Follow that to Angeles Crest Hiway and then take Angeles Crest back to Angeles Forest. It's about 80 miles RT. With a good amount of climbing It
