Can't wait for another visit to your neck of the woods.

Jen, do you work?

Jen, do you work?

:rof:
I work REALLY hard 32 weeks a year as an adjunct college professor. Twice a year I spend 16 weeks trying to talk some sense into college freshmen. I used to have a full time day job, taught night classes, and worked as a consultant for the USMC (HooRah) all at the same time. But for the first time in 20 years, I am only teaching.

I left my summer schedule open to just have fun and now I don't know what to do with myself! Can you believe Jerry is the Hoon keeping me out of trouble?


Or maybe he's just showing me the way...

 

[Goop]

My job is REALLY getting in the way...sheesh!

I just rode the 18 this morning going into big bear. Now mind you, I had no reason being on a bike at 7 am after riding through the desert all night. ( came from Yosemite) but that ride was deliriously technical. Or technicaly I was delirious. I need a re-do. It's just not going to happen on wensday. Or any time soon. my bikes out of commision. But, Warning folks... There are 15 mph turns not marked on that rd. Daniel had another misshap. All is good, not a scratch. You all have the fun...:BLAA:

Looking forward to your trip log! I hope you took pictures.

I see a rum and coke in your future...

You want technical, try the Sonora Pass, Ca Hwy 108. Most technical rd. I've ridden. Narrow road, plenty of dips, no warning signs of type of curve ahead or recommended speed, no or very little guardrails, and 25% upgrade/downgrade.

+1 on that, but what a fun road and the views are spectacular :thumbup::thumbup:

I should be able to make this, but will have to cut it a bit short at the end to get back to my area for late afternoon commitments. I'll confirm Tuesday at the latest.

 

[Jblk9695]

Cool, look forward to you joining us.

Jerry

 

[Verharen]

Looking forward to another trek north tomorrow! :cheer:

I went for a short local ride on Sunday when it was pretty hot. I think I've finally got the right gear/set up so that I'm no longer as likely to overheat. Yay.

...Drinking lots today. Water, just water.

 

[Cali rider]

Can we move up the start time? I need to back home by 3:00 and don't want to cut out too much of the ride. I could definitely be there by 8:30.

S'okay with me. I'm an early riser. Jerry?

 

[Jblk9695]

OK with me, I'm not that far away from Redlands:thumbup:

Jerry

 

[Verharen]

Okay. I'm going to shoot for 8am so that I am not late and might have a quick bite of something to hold me until lunch. :thumbup:

I figure we can stop at the North Shore Cafe in Fawnskin or Deep Creek Cafe in Arrowbear, depends on the time of arrival.
Both have great food.
