I hope I didn't offend anyone, but I took the liberty of lowering the Luge flag to half staff for our fallen brother Andy Hoang who loss his life in a mountain biking accident up in Snow Summit last Friday. I will raise the flag after his funeral on 09/12/15.
I will be riding up on 09/13/2015 to raise the flag. I am planning on leaving from the McDonald's parking lot across from Whiting trailhead at 8AM and should be at the flag by 9:30-10am easy pace. You're welcome to join.
FYI. There will be a large group of riders joining me on this ride tomorrow. In addition, there will be a group of hikers coming from both the gate at the top of Modjeska grade and from the bottom of the luge on Live Oak. I apologize in advance for any inconvenience, but this is a commemorative ride for Andy and would appreciate your support.
Do we need a new flag? Gene normally does a Veteran's Day flag ride... but I have to be honest with STR down I have been out of the loop. Nothing will get me to the top of the Luge faster than replacing Old Glory.... She looks a little tattered in your photo...
