Posing at Starbucks + Visiting Fire Stations + Taking Raunchy Photos of Each Other + Chili spaghetti = Happy's PV Ride.

I'm not, but I'd happily take pics of those who do. :)

Puhlease you can wear the baby blue paint job like the lady in the picture and you will blend right in with your Trek.

Um...it's not the blue paint blending in with the trek that is at the forefront of my mind on this, Asia. I'm thinking of the saddle and the positioning and the...um....blending...in...:o

It looks like the ladies in the photo are quite satisfied with their positions. I would really re-think this if I were you :D

ewwww...no, the suction cup thing doesn't do it for me.

Just talked to my buddy Lee. Says he will meet us at Bouldersprings-8am to meet up with the group when they reach us @ 8:30'ish.

Just wait, ME.

You + Me + December = 200+ base miles a week! :p

200 miles? Are there enough coffee shops to support you two? That's like 50 of them!

Ahem, I'm always in full body paint, it just looks like bibs and a jersey.

These pictures are from the san fran ride...........my friend Kelly sent them to me today.........yikes - I cannot imagine riding naked.

Creative paint jobs though :)

This is 2007 so plan accordingly for next year around the same time. You have time to purchase plenty of paint.

Is that only a bay area thing?

Hey now ... it's a SF thing!

... I thought you were going to apply the body paint on us????

The Republic of San Francisco, that is....

more action than Man Jose, at least :p

There's a bike ride going on right? Up Baldy?

I'm in.

Herb,
Mind if I invite a few non-BF buddies on the ride?

Herb;
I would love to join you Guys on this ride but I am going to Joshua Tree on Thursday and Friday and I am planning to do lots and lots of road biking up there sooooooo I suspect I will not have much energy left for riding on the 24th. However I hope we can plan GMR again pretty soon. And if anybody is up for Joshua Tree this Thursday and/or Friday let me know, the more the merrier (so far it is just me and another friend of mine). We are leaving OC tomorrow around 7am.
I hope everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Nope! No more GMR rides. This is the last one!:(

OK then, let's go to JT you MEANNY

Just wanted to be certain on the location.

Is this (http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/kml/episode.kml?episodePkValues=4472611) the location where eveyone will meet and start the ride?

[in case I dont know how to insert the map, here is the search I did on google:
http://maps.google.com/maps?q=http://trail.motionbased.com/trail/kml/episode.kml?episodePkValues=4472611]

I have never been there before and wonder if Herbm or anyone can tell me where is the parking and from the parking lot where would I go to find the group?

much appreciate.

I'm sorry but I can't seem to know how to attach a website site search on google.
Anyway,
here is the address that I got on the search
Address:
Encanto Park
751 Encanto Pkwy
Duarte, CA

Is this correct and is there more than one location for parking?
thanks.

When I head to the park, I use the 210, exit Irwindale, head north 1/4 mile to Foothill/Huntington, go left about 1/4 mile just passed the river(keep your eyes open). Small street on the right is Encanto Pkwy. Go right about 1/4 to the park.

Strip parking lot on the left. Small park so you can't miss the group even if you pass the first driveway. There is second driveway so don't worry!:D

Herb......I think we need a map posted on directions to Encanto Park as a couple of new riders (from the 'other' forum...:rolleyes:) have no idea where it's at. Thanks again!!:D

I'm out, I was told I have other plans. I'll be looping up East Fork and back GMR on Sunday, though.

Hey Herbie hows the temps at the bottom and the top?

Hey Herbie hows the temps at the bottom and the top?Wow, that's a personal question.


I may be in - I want to get a century in, just have to figure out how to do it. Riding from home would get me there, but I'd have to leave around 6am to make the 8am start time. :cry:

Isn't the Baldy Challenge ride a century?

Hey Herbie hows the temps at the bottom and the top?

The top of my head is nice and cool...down below is way warmer...oops...you meant on the ride:rolleyes:

Duarte - Partly cloudy 69degrees - low is 45
Mt Baldy - Partly cloudy 54 degrees - low is 34...

Hey Mr. Weekend Warrior! Just so that you know, Gina and I will be starting at a different location (bottom of GMR). We're meeting at 8 in order to meet the group when they roll by about 8:30'ish. I might even give her a 15 minute headstart so that she can warm up at her own pace.

Isn't the Baldy Challenge ride a century?It also consists of driving to Anaheim and back.

I'd rather ride at 6am...

I see you and Joel have jokes :mad:

Thank you mister weather man :p

Does this mean I get to see your pretty smile on Saturday??? *wagging tail excitedly and getting strange looks from coworkers* :D

When you starting?

I am rethinking this......I just hate the cold......but on a side note.....I am still signed up for Stagecoach :eek: . It just doesn't make sense nor add up :p

P.S. stop the wagging :)

Well, of course, I'm greedy and like to see you (even if you drop me immediately), so I'm nudging you to join. But does this mean you'll drive from Vegas to Encanto and back? :eek: Now, THAT is dedication to riding.

As for Stagecoach, I'm still on the fence. There was something about the bragging rights for riding in 40 and below weather last year that was appealing. The drive down there, however...not so much.

As for Saturday it would be an out and back :(
Remember Stagecoach did have tasty chili......:rolleyes:

weather.com claiming low 60's on the bottom and 55 at the village. If the sun is out, it will seam warmer for sure. The DH might be a bit cold though, well at my speeds at least:p
