Big Bear 6/4/11

$25 for all day lift chair access? Sweet! I haven't ridden up there in about 15 years or so. What exactly are the rules as far as bikes go?

 

Hoping that our guy on dissability comes back before then. If he does, I can make it. If not, I'll be on call. let you know when it get's closer. Sounds like a great time is to be had.

 

..lifted the following straight from WWW.BIGBEARMOUNTAINRESORTS.COM :


Cross-Country Paradise

For novice riders, the Bristlecone Trail east of the base area and Towne Trail to the west offer gentle, rolling terrain that is a perfect introduction to mountain biking. Intermediate riders will find terrain that is slightly more challenging from the top of the Scenic Sky Chair including Skyline Drive, which rolls across the top of the ridge with great views of Big Bear Lake. A short, steep single-track climb takes you to Grandview Point, which is a great spot to take a break and is the starting point of a thrilling ride to Towne Trail and back to Snow Summit. This nine-mile loop is one of the most popular rides in the area.Those who are looking for more time in the saddle can stay on Skyline Drive all the way to the Champion Lodgepole Pine then circle back to the resort making an adventurous 16 miler.
Snow Summit does not transport downhill specific mountain bikes on the Sky Chair during the summer months for either recreational or competitive purposes. The resort will continue to carry conventional (cross-country) mountain bikes for the public on the Sky Chair, with access off-site to Forest Service trails and roads. The resort has taken this action because of the liability exposure and forest damage from downhill bikes. Furthermore, there will be no more biking of any kind on the ski runs.
Any one of the following four factors will disqualify a bike from being transported on the chair:
1. Bikes must be less than 35 pounds.
2. Designated tire size must be less than 2.5.
3. Front shock must have less than 6.5 inches of travel.
4. Bikes must have at least two chain rings unless they are single speed.

Bump ill be creating the "ride" soon. Check your callendars and let's get this going!

 

I may be in for that day..

 

Im in! I took that day off yesterday!

 

if nothing comes up that day my uncle and i will b going too!

 

Is this ride still going to happen? I don't see anything on the Calendar yet and since you are injured?????

 

Yes so far the plan is still on. We will see how I feel in a couple of days, ill. Talk to a few people who know enough to cover for me should I still be injured.

 

Just drink a 4locos than check into a holiday in for the night and you should be good to go. One or two other riders I know get special powers and abilities after their pre-ride 4locos infusion.

 

anyone have a link to a trail map of big bear? I'd like to try climbing big bear, or ad least some of it. I'm more into the xc climbing side of all mountain, I'd like to crank up (more like push my bike up) and charge down.

Hmm I found this: http://www.bigbearmountainresorts.c...s/BBMR_Summer11/images/ridgeline-map-2005.jpg
Wish it was more detailed, I guess I could find some usgs topo maps but that sounds complicated..

I'm assuming trail = single track and road = fire road?

 

Winning!!!

 

Darn, in a wedding that weekend. If you or anyone else headed to Big Bear PM me.
