If there's snow at, say, 3000 feet, couldn't we climb up to that point, descend, then go up again?
(assuming it's not pouring)
We're planning this as a KOM training-ish ride, so we'd like to get the climbing in. At least most of it. We don't want to suffer (again) on the OC hills this weekend, and are really looking forward to getting out of town.
Plus, I wanna see some snow. Snow!

If they had one with a simulated chimp face, I'd get it for sure.

We could always do the route in reverse. By the time we get to Palomar the roads should be plowed.

Matt, I plan to be there if it's just showers, as currently forecasted. We may modify the route a bit if impassible on Palomar, such as heading back down to the fork and then taking the main highway to Lake Henshaw.

Frank's idea works, too. And gives lots of bailout options once we reach pie. And it would make an interesting change of pace for me since I've never ridden the reverse route.

I have no idea about the route options. I'll just follow the group.

I still hope to be there. What my parents really need from me is for me to attend a financial planning session with them on Sat night. So I need to be up in the LA area Sat night. I should still be able to make it down unless the session is really long (no clue how long it's scheduled to be) or they need to discuss stuff with me in further detail the next day. So mark me down as hoping to make it, but uncommitted.

Weather forecasts for Palomar continue to suck.
OTOH they predicted clouds and rain throughout the day today and it was beautiful and sunny most of the day in SD.

Reversing the route was a joke but now that I think of it, it might be interesting. I can't think of anything real bad about it.

Reversing the route actually sounds really interesting. No problems with a late afternoon Lake Wohlford climb. No 15% grade to get in the way. Sure, the final climb (East Grade) is longer, but there's a bail-out option. I'm cool with whatever, though (assuming I make it).

If it's looking rainy, we may just bail and try to get a short ride in around here. We're still in negotiations.
Damn weather.
