I'm a solid maybe. Getting back from a business trip to Atlanta that friday night. So unless I get an invite to go camping that weekend (and an invite that involves leaving town LATE friday rather than mid-afternoon), I'll be there!

OIC... that doesn't sound too bad then. Of course that also could be my own wishful thinking... UGH!

I wonder if I can get my buddies Eric (Airrix) and Andy (NeCro632) out too?

Mt Hamilton is not steep, just long. I might even make this one, time will tell.

Well, I rode Mt. Hamilton last weekend and it took me 3 and 1/2 hours to the summit.

Just so you know who'll be bringing up the rear.
