Anyone interested in riding around 5:30-ish today?

Route is:
Climb paved Westridge to just past the gate
Down Widowmaker into Sullivan Canyon
Up Sullivan to Sullivan fireroad
Down Sullivan Canyon

Shoot me a PM.

FYI. That's not Widowmaker. It's more commonly referred to as Westridge Drop. Widowmaker is the steep drop off Farmer's Ridge that ties in with the very bottom of Bent Arrow, right at Mulholland (near the Caballero trailhead). I'm surprised that Dusty didn't correct you on the other board. I guess he thought you were just tacking on a loop of Widowmaker to a Sulli ride.

Thanks for the correction!

How does the Westridge drop compare to Widowmaker, which I've ridden in the past.

They both change throughout the year. I think that Westridge Drop is usually more challenging.

Westridge drop was fun! A big rut down the middle will loose rocks. The climb up the road on my AS-X sucked but the trail was well worth it. Pretty sure I'll incorporate this into my loops from now on.

which one is the westridge drop? i think i've ridden in but not sure. is it the one where you go down the "staircase" into like a tunnel of overhang then across the fireroad onto the next section? maybe that's something else

Wassup Nag's, good to see you're hitting these boards too.

There is some fresh work in Sully on the transitions. Niiice....
