Hey, I like your attitude! ;) The reason I'm holding off on this is purely weather. I'm thinking the beginning of March before it will be truly doable, but maybe Vertical Bob can convince me otherwise! :D

No, I don't remember heartbreak...:o But I do believe it will be colder than a witch's....tomorrow! But you'll have to report on it. That OR you could come join the group of us heading over to the Santa Monica Mountains where it is much, much warmer...:D

Umm....yeah. Yesterday. And then it warmed up to 65 degrees with sun. :rolleyes: It think by tomorrow, based on all forecasts, it will be warmer there than up 39 where Angeles Crest and that highway intersect. But nice excuse not to join, John. ;) :p :D

I wouldn't bank on my popularity, Pheard. I think it is more the area and the epic "climbingness" that draws the billies...not the (this) girl. :o ;)

My excuse is I'm not allowed to go... :D

My wife is attending a class tomorrow morning, so I'm watching the children. I guess it's only fair since I keep disappearing every weekend. :o

I may try to do something like Pasadena to Chino Hills and back in the afternoon, finishing up at night, though.

Oh, so you're a March baby too, huh? No wonder we get along so well! :) Yes, one of those dates have to work and I'll just have t accept that not everyone will be there! I doubt I'm doing the BA preview, so that date may work.

Vicki and I were just up at Morro Bay and HC. If you've never been there, they will tell you to take the Experience Tour...it covers the major areas. We also did Tour 2..upstairs areas on the same day and that was much more interesting, plus a smaller group of people. Book online...don't wait 'till you get there.

It is not the SUPER steep part, You are coming from Lynn rd, then though Hidden Valley...you will be on Potero though Hidden Valley...it is not bad at all...
This is right in my neck of the woods!!
