Reverse temperature spike this weekend means...go riding in the forest! http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-117.50098&lat=33.68212#.VCGVvGK9KSN I haven't ridden Joplin in months, so that's where I'm aimed. Up Holy Jim, down Upper Joplin, Joplin and Cadillac. Tag the summit of Santiago for extra credit maybe? Either Sat or Sun can work for me. I'll ride whatever day is preferred, pipe up. Sunday usually has less trail traffic. 8am start at the Holy Jim parking area (that's where I'm starting; most ppl will want to start at the wash. Parking near the bottom of Cadillac is also do-able). Anyone with a good attitude is invited. Note this is a demanding ride; 20+ miles, 5k' of climbing, technical descent and remote location. Don't think safety in numbers, think safety in your own fitness and riding/repairing skills. The only other thing...don't run over anyone. (Hi, Ken.) The last rain squall that rolled through helped conditions a lot. Looks to be a fantastic day to be on the mountain. Let's do it! :beer:
