Default Another road trip

It seems like you guys enjoyed Arizona...so I suggest a So-Cal Trail Riders trip up Highway 395...when the snow clears....maybe end of July early August. A day at Lower Rock Creek combinned with Mammath Mountain Bike Park.

This may be too much but it would be great to get to my personnal favorite biking area...Lake Tahoe. Everyone needs to ride the Flume at least once.

Ooooh!!! yeah yeah yeah.
That would be a blast. My scheduled trip to mammoth last september was derailed by a broken collarbone
A group trip would be fun. Hopefully i have my new FR rig by then.

You know Im in!! The later the summer the better, as snow takes forever to melt on Mammoth. Rock Creek will be ride-able though. Ive been riding Mammoth every summer for the past 5 years so I know a few local secrets

Ive never ridden Tahoe, so we defintely gotta ride up there.

Yes a spring trip to Hurricane Utah is in order. Never been and as soon as I get time I am on it.

I would be up for a mammoth/tahoe trip this summer. We could make a big loop and hit a few Nor Cal hot spots and SLO, Santa Barbara on the way back. I'd like to check out the camping opportunities in addition to hotels too.

We spent our vacation in St George this past year and I got to ride every day, and it didn't even count as the vacation I chose. My sister in law has a condo there. I rode all of Gooseberry, the Hurricane Rim Trail, Grafton Mesa, Bear Claw Poppy and went on a local ride with the guys from Red Rock Cyclery but they didn't give me the name of the trail as they like to keep it a little to themselves. Utah rocks, but I made my schedule this year to do Mammoth and the Flume again, but I didn't set a date, but I will for this. Count me in!

I'd be game for the camping and riding. I just need a month or two lead time to schedule my vacation.

How about Blues, Beers, Bikes, and Babes?? The town gets really crowded during the Bluesapalooza, but were here to ride anyways.
