What day are you riding? I *may* be there Saturday. But that's tentative as the week is still young.

The Geoladder site has them starting on 7th street on the opposite side of Turnbull, but this si eaisier for me comming from the LBC.

P.S. [Weather Permiting] What sign is the deal killer, heavy clouds Sat AM with drizzel? -or- are we only quitting on a constant rain?

No GO if it's raining when we are loading up the truck or rained all nite before....if it starts after we start riding we'll decide to continue or head back on how hard it's raining....I don't melt in rain but don't want to ruin the trails....I'll prolly park on the same side...coming from Fullerton....

Looks like Shu may be out on account of injury and I'm fine with taking time, I'd like to try and remember anything I can about the place. I was planning on 8 ish but I'll hold till 8:30/:45 for you, besides if no one shows up I won't ride alone.

Out 100% I have to see a hand specialist and may need surgery to fix the tendon....not to mention they found a break in my hand from a year+ ago that never healed(docs are more concerned w/ that)...the original xrays showed no break but it looks like they mis read them the fist time around b/c even I can see it now...looks like I wil be off my bike from 1-3 months....atleast it's winter..now I'm praying for a wet one...hahaah

My friends would be in silver F150 and both ride Hecklers 1 black and 1 pea grean
