STR Idyllwild Camping Weekend Take 2

Jason - Neil loves his, We also bought Jared & Megan one for their wedding gift. I don't need to say anything else, since he's just called you on the phone.

 

I am guessing that at that point in the year (early April) it'll be upper 30s at night, maybe low 40s.

You'll need a decent sleeping bag if you wanna be comfy

 

Hey, I didn't take the time to read the 3 pages of the thread before I secured the site. I saw "STR Weekend" and went straight to the reservation site. I'll take the "ninja-like" as a compliment of the seriousness I have for the weekend.

It was cold last year, even a bit during the day. But, we hung around the fire in the evenings. Just bundle up.

Steph - think we can do a bulk Ibex Woolies buy?? I might want some more socks and a long sleeved :bang:

This is gonna be sooo fun!

So glad to see the interest even this early on. Sorry for those that can't make it on this weekend! #-o

SWEET.

Hey does s'mores stuff last for 9 months? No really.. I've got graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate from Downieville... :-k

 

I just went through a role of tp wiping my tears, Im over it now! Eventually I can find it in my heart to........................ still thinking!:-k

 

Singletrack Angel and I have #126 reserved and will be bringing the kids (Megan 8 and Ryan 5) and maybe the dog...and my best friend Captain Morgan and a few of his friends.

I will be bringing Daven ( pronounced da-vin) 8 and Mason 4.Fun,fun

 

How would this trip be for a Noob?

 

A noob would be fine,Hurkey is a little under 11 miles I think, with stiff climbs here and there.Ramona trail is a blast, the climb up is like blackstar.

 

Im going to try and go...I have two extra tents one for 1 one for 2 and mine is a two room for a few.....

Oh and im a BITCHIN camp chef..... I didnt get fat on bad food!

If you are a Noob rider no problem!!

If you are a noob at being around a bunch of Mountain bike riding, beer drinking, BBQ eating, trash talking, no sleep getting, wild, but REALLY fun people to be around... It could be ugly, in a good way!!!:beer:

 

The rides we did last year where not noobie friendly. Thomas Mt Loop, from camp, Saturday and a Sunday big shuttle, Ernie Maxwell/Southridge Trail back down to Hurky Creek. With as many people that are signing up there maybe be the option of B rides. I would come and maybe explore the excellent trails around the 24 hour tract...it is right in the campground. Last year, we did not ride much around the 24 hour tract except at night.

Remember bring your night lights and quarters for the showers.

How is the big shuttle????? I did the ride from hurkey,up thomas mtn. down ramona and back to camp, plus a hurkey lap the day before.I think it was 45 or so miles for the weekend. That is a long ride but fun.

 

I know where I'm havin' breakfast.....

 

I take it the hosts make good B-fast, I will be staying with them, they beat me to the spot.

 

I'd love to make it up--- someone have a link to the reservation site for the campground?

I've not done a STR ride yet--- is this open to anyone, even newbies here to the tribe?

Probably me, my wife and 3 yr old for a nite. and a couple riding friends?

Humber to Hurky shuttle has one of the worst climbs I can think of...the paved Tahquitz View Road. Two years ago when I was climbing it there was a old compact car that did not have the power to go up it. It is paved because if it wasn't, no two wheel drive cars would make it.

I want to go so bad... I work on those days but I may be able to get the days off...

Hows a shuttle work?
