How ambiguous can I be? I hope that helps somewhat.

thanks Mary for the ETA back to the park,
My friends at work (who are heading down to Glamis tonight after work) are telling me "dude you're not gonna make Glamis if you ride your bike, you'll be too tore up" etc.
They all go mud bogging in their lifted trucks in Azusa cyn, so they know those roads (39, east fork, etc)
"Dude those roads are twisty, it's a mean grade, you're riding to WHERE? Ahh man thats too far, you'll be tore up" blah blah blah
well we'll see, I dont want to miss out on the bloat ride, AND still make it down to Glamis with my homies for New Years.

That's ok we can be VC nazis and just take the lane like we are entitled to!
[SOAPBOX] I get so annoyed when cyclists are relegated alternate routes and detours when automobiles aren't. [/SOAPBOX]

I'm out, and it looks like I will be out for a while My knee was killing me after only about 1000 feet of moderate climbing (Sepulveda/Mulholland). I have a doctor's appointment next week, so hopefully he can tell me what I did to my poor knee! This has been a pretty bad year back on the bike, but I'm addicted so I haven't given up yet.
