I'll take my chances. There's far worse ways to go than to get attacked by a cute feline. And I could always feed you an EMM first just to be on the safe side.

I'm editing this post to say I'm in. My wife seemed cool with it when I brought it up yesterday-plus I'm hoping to save enough for a better roadie by x-mas (we'll see). weehoo!

hello
I almost forgot about this ride and it's on a Saturday, therefore I'm definitely in! I think the turnout will be big.

It appears I lost my "Holiday in So Cal...Let's Ride" thread but I think it accomplished the goal of getting hooked up for a ride. So, add my name to the list...I'm lookin' forward to it!

As much as I can be sure about anything, I'm sure I'm going to make this ride, so count me in as a confirmed...
This is the area, correct?

ronjon...I believe that's correct. My question to the locals is this: I'll be coming to the park from Azusa (Sierra Madre and San Gabriel Canyon Road). I realize that I could just meet the pack on Sierra Madre (assuming that's how you get to 39) but I'd like to meet everyone before the ride starts and hang with everyone as we prepare for the ride. So...is there a cut-through from Encato Park to Sierra Madre so that I don't have to go down to Foothill and over to Encato Pkwy? On the satellite view it looks like there's a way to cut through the industrial complex on N. Todd (cement factory?) but it's tough to tell.

I've just been super swamped so I haven't put directions in post 1, but we will be starting from Encanto park, which is very easy to get to. I'll provide those directions once I have a chance to breath! I'm very happy you can join dstrong.

But I'm sure you'll be just fine for this ride since it is the Post Holiday BLOAT ride - or as Mateo pointed out - "un"Bloat ride.
