This is a great ride! Full of different types of terrain. Everything from sharp rock to stream crossings. I have been here a few times and love it everytime! The typical loop I do is up Lower and Middle Merrill to Inspiration Point for a little R&R. Then down the ever challenging Upper Merrill Trail. Pucker Factor to the max... From the bottom of Upper Merril over to Sunset, then a few other trails ending with El Prieto. 23 miles total! Let's discuss carpooling, meet time, etc...

Just FYI the calendar says 10/11 (today).

Hanzo · 10-11-2007, 10:05 AM

Should be fun. Allison youre missing a good one. Either way have a great birthday!

If Allison dont go I'll do the Paparazzi thing as long it dont mess with the flow

right mech?

I'd be in for sure if it was the Sunday before--11/4. I don't think I can pull the 10th off.

If I change it to 11/4 or 11/11, will that work for everyone else?

Are you thinking of starting at JPL and climbing Lake Avenue to the bottom of Lower Merrill?

CJ likes pain and he listed it as 23 miles so Im guessin starting at JPL cuz the other route would be 15 if you start at alta loma or ~12 if you start at the parking area???

Yeah, I've already agreed to two separate rides this weekend; can't possibly cancel on anyone else

Yo.. the 4th is the Mt. SAC race. So, a few people might be racing that, or supporting.

See, too many rides, no time.

I'm having difficulty scheduling time to hang with my mom for my birthday. I told her I might have a weekend in January.

ShinKen · 10-11-2007, 11:49 AM

I say do it on the 4th

not everyone wants to freaking race!!

than do it again on the 11th so, the others get to ride it too!!

Exactly, that way when we finish on El Prieto, it is a nice flat ride back to the cars parked in the JPL parking lot.

Ok, now I am also confused on the day we are shooting for... Can I setup a poll? If so, how do I do that?

elab · 10-11-2007, 03:02 PM

If it's scheduled for the 11th, I'll be there. Otherwise, have fun.
