Southern California - The "Not Doing the Eastern Sierra Double" Ride - June 2nd

OK M.E., put me down for this one.
Since some of my SFVBC buds are riding it I'm just going to blend in.

:beer: And no, you don't blend, but I will only see you all of two minutes before you drop me like a badly micorwaved potato. :D

huh? Are you feeling okay today, George. :p;)

You didn't catch his sandbagging post on your last SB ride?

I think there will be camera wars out there ...

I have that ... but what I was hoping for was an elevation profile. If no one has done it, no problem.


we just don't want to give it to you.

Well, if I really have to, I'll plot it myself.

Looks like there will be 3 of us total. Sorry, the wives didn't want to go. :rolleyes:

Update on the lunch spot. I talked to Francis just now, and he does not recommend the Great Onion. Therefore, we are going to Ranchero, which is between the Great Onion and the Green Onion.

Here is a link for directions and their menu: http://www.sangabrielvalleymenus.com/ranchero/rancheroduarte.htm

I have updated the OP as well.

Well, I may or may not be working. and that may change up till about 3:30 on Sat. I'm going to try to get there, but don't wait.

Oh, and if I do make it, I'm going to be late and leave early. So....

Which means you will catch me going up and pass me still going up on your way down. :p :D

Eh, back to working. We'll see if this changes.

Dang, I forgot to bring my leg warmers ... think I'll need it? May need a quick Performance run!

As long as you have your shorts you'll be fine...
HA ... now I did remember that!!! :roflmao:

Just checked online ... Performance is only open for 25 minutes anyways ... I'll just stick to my shorts.

Are you going with your fixie?

Hey, any time estimates for different places? I'm going to be working at some point tomorrow for sure, but I don't know when. I'd like to try to catch you guys for a stretch at least.

Sorry, Grasshopper, but I got nothing. I climb at whatever pace my legs are up to on any given day. :o

Have a fun ride, guys (and gals)

What about you, ME. I know, I have issues ... I guess you'll have to say I got up early just due to the excitement and anticipation for this ride ...

I need my primping time...

Shouldn't you guys be getting on the road?

No, not insane. 10 hrs work + 4-5 hour bike ride + laundry/household chores + bike shop visit + grocery shopping = getting up at 3:30am to fit everything in. :o

Tired! Sore, tired, dead legs! But that's a good thing. :) I had never ridden Hwy 39 or little GMR before so I didn't know what to expect but it turned out to be a nice route. GMR up to Cow Saddle was waaaaay longer than I ever remember it being. I lost count how many times I told myself it's gotta be around the next bend. By the time I finally got to Baldy Lodge restaurant I was wiped out so didn't even attempt the ski lifts. After a quick bite and water my buddies and I headed straight down Baldy Rd and back to the park. It was nice meeting some other forumites and a tough but fun ride. Sorry, no pics here. Now I'm off to take a nap. :)

Ride Time: 3:50:08
Miles: 57.69
Avg: 15.0mph
