Inland Empire Night Ride - Vail Lake

[lukewiens]

Come join us for a night ride out at Vail lake on some fresh new single-track!

Ride starts at 6 leaving at 6:10. Regroup at 7 in the campground before starting the night lap.

~15 - 20 miles.

Vail Lake is located off of 79 south approx. 5 miles east of Temecula.

Hope to see you out there!

I would like to keep this ride consistent to Thursdays for the sake of the group...but let me know and I may come join you. I can never pass up a night ride at the local course.

Jo Jo...when you get there just head out to the climb if you remember the way. We will catch ya on the way up. If for some reason we don't get to you before the summit, just hang out and I will guide you through the single-track sections.

I am with you Jojo!! If Luke is going to pass me he is going to have to make up some time!! If he goes by you first jam your pump in his front tire!! I think I can take him from there!! MAYBE??

PS: lets keep this between the two of us!!

I maybe up for Friday also, but I would not be able to get there any earlier than about 6:30. Let me know...

Allison, are you and Justin going to be able to make it? That would make for a nice little group. Hope to see you guys there.

We will definitely be riding out there. Not planning on doing a lap in the dark, though (got too much to do!). Not sure what time, but I think we'll probably get there around 5:15 or so?

We'll definitely look for you guys and try to join in on part of the ride.

I'll be needing to head out early to pack up for the Nationals at Fontana.

Cool. I may get there early also. We will see what happens...

[allison]

Hopefully will be leaving work around 4:15-4:20 and will be going directly to Vail. Hoping to be riding around 5 or a little after.

We will look for you guys and maybe join for a 2nd half lap or so.

you cant miss me, especially on "The Dam Climb", i will be either pushing my bike or standing still, recovering every after 20 yards of climb.

see you guys.

Thanks for the ride everyone. It is not often I get to ride in the middle of the week so it was a nice for me.

[JOx2]
