I'm on break starting Friday, 12/21. Very available for rides from then until I go back on Jan. 7. Lots of Foothill club rides during the holiday season, but even those won't be enough if I'm to be ready for Solvang! And it'd be good to see you again!

There's also the Stagecoach Century on Jan 12th. It may be a little far for you though:

Well, I may change my mind, you know. I'm nutty that way, in case you haven't noticed and I'll jump on or off a ride in a moment's notice.

There's a 200km brevet January 12th, going from Malibu to Carpinteria and back. I'll be doing that along with the 300km brevet happening in February.

There's a new years day ride up Mt. Wilson every year- there should be posts about starting time/location closer to new years. I've never done it, but it seems to be a bunch of loosely organized groups that ride a few different routes and a random number of people make it all the way up wilson, depending on the weather.
Last year I went out with a few friends and we rode up GMR to Baldy Village, and then turned around at Icehouse Rd. when the wind got to be too much.

I will do the Mt Wilson ride or the PCH ride from Long Beach. I'll have to wake up extra early for the LB ride so prob Mt wilson... well hope to see some of you out there!
GMR/Baldy is a good ride, I did that alot too.
Hopefully the rain will die off and I can get some miles in.

ME;
Take your bike and kit to the party.
In the morning drive or ride to Oro Vista and Foothill Bl. (Sunland)
A group will be leaving for Mt. Wilson at 9:00 AM.
The standard route is Big T to Angeles Forest to AC, Redbox, then a quick right up to Mt.Wilson.
I'll ride from home, meet a group at CSUN then ride to Oro Vista with them. It's a very effective hangover cure. Trust me.

Upper Big T had snow and ice on it last weekend, so that's definitely possible on Mt. Wilson unless we get a very good warming trend.
