Thanks for the invite! Just got back from Arizona, so sorry couldn't make this ride. Let me know on the next one...I ride Ojai area often - Sisar/Red Reef/Gridley and beyond. The south sides are probably snow free, but I'm sure the north sides along Nordhoff/Sisar still have plenty I bet.
Chorro Grande is covered, was 2 weeks ago at least, but the road won't be open to Pine Mtn I don't think. Not sure how the current rain effects the snow up there, really depends on temp. As far as Gridley/Pratt/Sizar there might be some snow but I think that with all the rain coming down right now it would be a better bet to wait it out a bit before trying to ride here, you'll end up tearing up the trails I think...let me know if/when you're in the area, I'm off school until early Jan. and would love to ride.
DUDE! You are awesome!!! Badass photoshopping skillz! I like the Force coming out of Luke's hand! Pretty funny :)
Hey, great photoshopping! I especially like my special version. Do you think you can do one with the minarets in the background?
My Joplin just came in the mail!! I'm so excited! Too bad I can't use it right away, but at least it will be ready & on my bike when I can ride again! :D
OMG! This is so cute! Ever wonder what hamsters look like in the wild? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-dlXYLtEhPY&feature=player_embedded
I know! Dude, can you believe that d-bag would criticize someone for wearing protective gear and say it was a lack of confidence? WTF?!?
Actually, the album has been there a while. I just happened to add some photos to it today so it pushed it to the top. :)
Okay, so I couldn't keep my mouth shut... http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/rider-down/44896-nerdgirl-3.html#post651412
So Luke and I are kind of bumming about not riding next Sunday, but then I realized that when I come up there, by then I'll have my Joplin. :) I'm sooo excited about the Joplin. (Incidentally, Vicodin and a bottle of Lambic are really great painkillers... I'm so loopy right now :D)
Okay, so not sure if you saw this... http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/rider-down/44896-nerdgirl.html Looks like our ride on December 6th is going to have to be put on hold. I am a sad panda now :(
thanks for the advice - I had a map from the internet that worked out great. That place is a really nice place to ride!
Okay, so knowing that I'd have a long drive, a long ride, and another long drive, I decided I probably wouldn't want to work the next day, so I took the day after a a vacation day! LOL! Really looking forward to a new adventure :)
Did you see DC's (busterb) RR of Backbone? Is that the same place? That trailhead looks like it skips some climbing...
Thanks! The bobcat shot was at my office in Santiago Canyon. Just be patient and go ride around dusk... you will see one. :)
