STR BBQ & Snow Summit Ride

[surlygal]

~Morning ~ Bump~

We're going to have a blast!!!

$10.00 all day lift tickets, sharing the trails with freinds, some grub, some drink, and a nice sandy swim beach to dip in after your ride!

Make your plans if you haven't yet!

Who's carpooling?

[Pugz]

This is sounding better and better Traci.

[dirttorpeedo]

MMMMMMNN. this sounds like it mite be fun and....well fun.im going to check my schedual and see if i can make it.the park is kinda small so parking may be elseware.

[jamesdc]

This is looking really tempting, time to try to find a single crown fork for the rmx or anyone think they will let me on the lift with an 888 since its such a big group ride.

[Rockinthecasbah]

bring some zip ties for the 888
I might be making it know my gig hasnt given me a deposit for the 12th and I might tell them to just f off, if they think im going to go in and shoot with less thena weeks notice

Ill be on my 7 point and ill have my black market in case

[mfoga]

Anyone up to carpool from Long Beach area or just about anywhere along the way? Being right by 605/405 I have a bunch of ways I can get to Big Bear. I may even stay at my parents in Moreno Valley if someone that way want to Carpool from that area.

I think I'm gonna make it to this little gathering. It's been years since I've ridden BB so what the heck. I'm trying to understand, are most folks camping Saturday night and leaving Sunday or camping Friday night and leaving post BBQ in the afternoon or evening Saturday?

I'm gonna try and get a room somewhere near by but keep it cheap. Dean recommended a place called Three Pines Lodge. Is that near home base and near the place of the BBQ/gathering?

[dstepper]

Joe, I am going Friday-Sunday will ry to get in three days of riding and maybe a night ride. I have never stayed at Three Pines it comes up as one of the cheaper options up there. I am camping, without reservations not sure where yet.

I may decide to show up for this little shindig, but I'm not sure at this point. I'm going to wait and see how tired I am after this week, since I'm starting school on top of my job (8 hours in the morning till 3, 4 hrs of school until 10pm )

If I do show, I wouldn't mind driving in exchange for gas money (I'm in fullerton). I'll have room for probably 2-3 more people and bikes if people pack light.

I'll also be staying at my cabin in moonridge (literally 500ft from the bottom of lower fall line ), so i may have some spare beds/floorspace if people need it

The park that we'll be at does have a sandy beach and a playground (I know Maddie and I will be on the beach for more of our day than riding the trails - she said she'll do 1 maybe 2 runs at Summit)

ZOO
Discovery Center
Alpine Slide
Pirate Ship Ride

Here's a link to more idea's http://www.bigbear.com/summer.php

Is there gonna be time to barbecue at the park AFTER the lifts close? Or does the park close somewhat early?

I paid $60 to reserve the shelter and 4 bbq's for 6hrs starting at 9am to 3pm if I want the shelter for later than 3pm I have to pay for it (i don't remember how much per hr)

The idea was to take a break DURING the day and BBQ for lunch, take a cool dip in the lake etc....... I'm not sure what time the park closes I can and will call to find out.

[Nagaredama]

Snow Summit stops running the lifts at 5pm on Saturdays and 4pm on Sundays.

What, i can't barbecue twice in a day? No need to check, Traci. Just was wondering in case you knew offhand.

Too late I already made the call...
The park closes at 11 pm (althought there are no lights) there are 6 to 8 unreservable bbq's (1st come 1st serve) for your evening BBQing needs. See you Sat

[OTHRIDER]

I'm going to change my maybe to a no.

We rode BB this weekend and it was HOT !!!!

It was 91 degrees @ 2pm at my in-laws which is about 1/2 way down Summit Blvd.

Stay cool and enjoy the ride.
