Eastern Sierra Double - Interest Thread
 

I realize that this ride is a few months away, but given it's remote location, I thought I'd get an interest thread going (that and someone asked me if I would). So, here is the link: http://www.planetultra.com/easternsierra/index.html

It's on June 2nd and I'm still on the fence as to whether or not I'm going to do it. Anyone else considering this double??

It would be awesome to get a big, healthy group of BFers up there! :D

George (vireo) and I are definitely planning to be there. :)

Although doubles are far beyond my short attention span, I was coerced into doing this one. Actually, it didn't take much coersion, as I have been wanting to get up to that area for a long time. I know a handful of SFVBC types who are planning on it, as well -- Keith and Sarah, Mario, Nancy and Bruce (his injury may alter those plans). A few others, I think.

edit: just registered. :)

Unless Solvang goes badly I'm planning on doing it.

I had planned to do this ride this year, but now will have to wait until next year. I'll be riding the Lake Tahoe century the next day with my wife.

If you want to get in some climbing in the Sierras, you can join me for a Death Ride preview on Friday, June 1. I'll be climbing Monitor pass about 2 hours north.

a weekend with Brandy and climbing what more can a man ask for?

I'll be there, it sounds like fun and it's one of the ones i've never done. I've already made motel reservations in Bishop.

Not this year.

+1

Did it last year and it was awesome. Definitely try to do it again this year.

I've done it for the last two years, and it is a beautiful ride with plenty of climbing. This year, I don't know. Have to see how I feel when it gets a bit closer. I sure haven't been doing enough climbing so far this year, plus I have to lose about 15 lb. plus all the usual excuses!

Best Regs,
Rick / OCRR

If Mike is gonna be there, then I should try to be there as well...

well, solvand went quite well and i do imagine ill be there!!!!

So I guess you'd better register now. :)

I'm almost 100% committed...about 99.9%:D

I'm googling for llamas in and around Bishop, but I think another Men’s Colony is out.

:lol: Okay, now I'm only 98% in...:p

they have mules!!!!

How about a weekend climbing Brandy? Sorry...it just popped in my head...I couldn't help myself.

NICE!

Yes, sounds promising. ;)

hmmm ... 10,000 feet of climbing. I'll consider it.

not too much more than solvang, dude!!!

Yea, I know. So I'll hear you saying "Not much more ... we're almost there!"

Just don't expect me to do Devil Mountain or Terrible Two ...

I just realized something. I'm doing Davis 5/19, and two weeks later is Eastern Sierra. Now I'm having second thoughts about Eastern Sierra ... two week recovery, for a 10,000 foot double century ... then doing Grand Tour several weeks after that ... decisions decisions ....

Someone slap me on the side of the head silly ...
