    They are talking about the school which is a quick right on Oak Mesa into the parking lot. The park shown is on the north side of the school itself. I've done this trail a few times and with the climbing involved I'd recommend the Specialized . Have fun!! :bang: I miss it every year cause of work. :mad:

    I pulled this one out of the archives. I was wondering, does this ride still happen every year? I haven't done it for the past few years because every year I've been sick. So far so good this year.

    It's still happens. It's a Thanksgiving tradition. I'll be there with Tom the Bomb, Uplander and T2. It's always been kind of a word of mouth kind of thing and some years there's more people than others. Usually we meet at Oak Mesa School at 7am and figure out the shuttle arrangements. Get up to Cow Canyon saddle around 8am to be at the top of Sunset Ridge by 9am. Hope you can make it. The more the merrier.

    Last year was coooooold. Snow at the start. Looking forward to it again! I may actually try to ride the whole thing this year but will have to get up real early if I want to do that. Anyone else riding up?

    Had my knee scoped 2 weeks ago, I will be testing it next week to see if I can make it . It would be a bummer to miss it.
