Sunset Fireroad Sun 9/10 8:00a

[CC]

Because of overwhelming demand...Ok mostly because Shannon was reeeeealy wanting to go...We are going to do the Sunset Fireroad Shuttle ride again.

We will meet at Oak Mesa Park, located North of Baseline on Wheeler in La Verne. We can meet at 8:00a and shuttle up to Baldy drop off area. I think I will already have a truck load, but others are welcome to join and follow us up.

Weather looks great, it should be partly cloudy and should keep the temps down.

Dean's RR report describes this ride perfectly...gradual climes with some really fun down hil. There is nothing technical on this trial, fire roads all the way.

Missy Chrissy/Dean anyway for you to make it again? Frank/Jose/Glen/Jon/Etc....up for a causal ride? All are welcome. (Jose you are in charge of hydration after the ride) (hehehe)!

Fun group with Shannon, Bruce, Nam and CC Cathy today. Love this trail but corners are a bit loose and slippery. Nice ride ...well...uh...other than a pinch flat, hit-n-miss(more miss) derailer adjust, and Cathy ending up in the emergency room with a gash on her arm several layers deep. She's out for 4 weeks ....I think that jinx I gave Nam bounced around the group ...J/K. Maybe check carnage section later??? I'm so bummed my riding buddy is off for so long but dang she's tough. She kicked butt riding out with quite a ways to go. HEAL QUICK!!!

We were climbing gmr to mt baldy (road) today and look who we found . I didn't see this post and I thought somebody is doing a secret ride...



Khai was running around putting leaves on that car . Weather was perfect today.

[Sharky]

Haha...thanks for that Khai !! I was wondering where that came from. You're a sneaky one...

[tkblazer]

wasn't too bad of a ride today... i was actually leading on most of the climbs.. riding in the 909 is like traveling to a parallel universe in which everything is the opposite. anyhow nice meetin ya finally shannon and bruce! sharky, i was hoping to avoid you, but you showed up anyways

cathy, you rock woman! got hurt and not once complained about the pain, blood or any of that crap. sorry i couldn't ride out all the way with you, those damn flats are holding me back. rock on girlie, heal up soon

[Sharky]

Ohhh...very funny Nam .....we ARE friends he's just razzin' cause I made him drive all the way back up the mountain to my car... thanks again. (sorry for the jinx.. )Glad you finally made it up this way.
We're thinking of making this a moonlit night ride if enough interest...
for those who haven't wandered into the rockin' riding realm of the 909 would make for an interesting introduction? (after Cathy heals) Great city views on this one.

[dhshuttlemonkey]

Hey Cathy, hope you are o.k. Heal up quick.

[LBmtb]

Jose showed us his camera phone photo of cathy's gash. Man, is that some serious carnage! Get well soon, cathy.

[dstepper]

Cathy, sorry about the bo bo and no I don't want to see it. Heeling vibes to ya.

Hitting those corners a little hot were ya?

Yes I am interested in a full moon, no clouds, no lights ride.

[khai]

oh cathy, recover soon. i think this is a gd time to recover ur backache too.

heheh sharky, we were waiting for the rest of the group and i told romeo this is ur car. we wanted to write u a note but noone has pen paper, so we picked up some flowers instead.

[dhshuttlemonkey]

Cathy, where are the pics?

[dirttorpeedo]

ive got some on my fone from the ER before during and after shots.i'll see if i can get them into the site.cathy's cut makes mikes earlier cut look like a scratch. the womens awsome not a wimper from her,well sept when the doc told her.............no riding for four weeks.it killed her, i dont think she'll ever recover from the trama.

[ShinKen]
