Default San Gabes closed too

The Angeles National Forest, along with the Cleveland and Los Padres are closed to the public until further notice.
Just called the hotline 626-821-6700 and got the news.

Thanks for the 411. I just called ANF and the ranger said the Saugus office just burned down near Boquet Canyon.

Fullerton Loop or Road Trip?

Checking my calendar for next week to see if I can get a Monday opr Friday off. I have a feeling that things will not open back up for awile. Been wanting to do a Flagstaff trip this may make it happen.

If I did better in the heat I might think about it. If it is 90-100 inland, what will in be like in Palm Springs?

It'll be Furnace Canyon cause there's cover to hide from the sun.

Default Possible weekend riding venues

We have feelers out to see what might be rideable on Saturday or Sunday.

Nir is riding Backbone tomorrow night and will report back.

Alex is riding Skyline (Troy Lee) in Corona tomorrow (DH shuttle) and will report back also. He rode there yesterday and said the air quality was not a problem.

Ummm - I say let's plan for a really early start. Going up that wash in the heat will suck.
