If I'm free the day of the ride, I'm probably in.

You guys crack me up! (in a good way) 
No need to be nervous, and, yes, Fixer, we'll either find you non-dairy chowder or how about some fried shrimp? Either way, I may very well map out at least a 75 miler up the coast (but not along PCH the whole way!), into Ventura/Port Hneueme (sp?) and we'll grab some chowda! It will be fun!!!! Of course, I'm looking at Jan/Feb for dates at this point. We're all pretty booked until then I think. And I have to figure out how I'm going to get up Crystal Lake on December 17th! I guess I'll just have to follow right on up real close behind you boys (or real close on your boy behinds) for motivation...

Speaking of ride dates getting snapped up way too fast...
M.E., are we still on for Dec 30? Should I start a thread about it? Or would you like to do the honors?

Sat Dec 30 is M.E.'s first full day back from her trip back to Tennessee. Weather permitting, we're thinking of doing East Fork/GRR/Baldy up to the lifts. It would be M.E.'s first trip up to the lifts.

We're definitely on for the "Post Holiday Bloat Ride" on December 30th. Jason, please feel free to do the honors of starting the thread (If you want, or I can...I'm not shy ). I wouldn't miss it for the world. Of course, I'm going to have to dig my quads up and out of all the fat that will have slid down my belly and butt, settling just over my knees. Ahhh...southern food, nothing like it.

M.E., why don't you go ahead and start the thread? You actually know where we intend to start and where we're having lunch afterward. All I have is a detailed mental map from the village to the lifts.
