[dacaboose]

What's in the U-haul??? SF??? Huh???

My stuff. Moving to Berkeley for grad school. So much rather be on a bike than packing right now.

 

[JSD]

Sounds good to me, have not rode Skyline. Will check work schedule for next week tonight. Will let you know. If I can make it traffic may be a problem, if I am late will do my best to catch up.

 

[F.A.D.]

so, is the extended ride just an out and back to skyline? As long as my leg heals up in time, I'm game for this.

Can you say "Granite cheese grater"? Plus, I'm asian, so I have no need to shave my legs...... LOL!!!

I'm sweeping this ride! starting at 6:30 I'll try to catch some of you on the way up.

Yep. Down and up Skyline.

Yep. Down and up Skyline.

is this what you are talking about?

 

[skirt_count455]

Dammit! I work

 

[Hotchkiss]

That's the one.

Bring Lights. We all know how group rides go. We'll get rolling at 6:22, after re-groups we'll hit the top gate by 8:17.

 

[JSD]

I am in, saw my schedule for next week.
If we are running short on time, we could consider Sierra Peak as an option. Just a suggestion

 

[duke777]

I'll try to make it, 6 is definitely early for me. Drive from LBC does suck!

I'm in. Haven't done Skyline. Why can't we roll at 6:23? I may run a little late . So is the time to hit the top gate before or after we do Skyline? With Kimmi in the group, I thought I'd ask.

 

[thomaswildchild]

Ok folks as we get near I wanna clear up a few things!

I want to start all around the same time, We can branch off from there. I'd also like to finish around the same time but we all know how that goes. bring lights if you want to do the skyline. Also bring a big bike if you wish to take the fun way down(not fire road ).

see you Tuesday night!

 

[Grego]

Will try to make it. Have not been to B* for a while now.

 

[Revalimage]

Maple Motorway Monday, B* big bike Tuesday, dang someone will need to bring a tow rope

 

[cruzin 52s]

Thinking it would take me 2.5 hours to hit the top is this to slow of a pace for this ride?

 

[F.A.D.]

lookes like the healing of my leg is not cooperating with me(at least this early in the week)......... Have fun ya'll!

TIGA BAWM for wapid heawing!

 

[zioncoming79]

Can anyone point me in the right direction on Geoladders (distance and elevation gain) (B*and Skyline)? I hammered out a 25 minute Northridge>Sycamore climb at CHSP on my SS yesterday, which is 4.5 miles and 1,400 ft. of elevation gain. Is this similar? Is this SS suitable (32t x 17t 26")?

I might show up as I work down the street and have wanted to try Blackstar for a while.
