um...
just for the record, after we leave Big Bear Lake, we will NOT be going off-road to Running Springs. Google maps did it that way :warranty: and I couldn't get it to straighten out. So, no need for knobbies, we're staying on the 18.
#4
put me down for a tentative "IN"
#5
That's looks very doable! Pencil me in.
#6
Hey Shayne,
Still here, believe it or not! Work picked up a bit, so I've been playin it out!
Count me in. FYI, the 330 from Running springs to Highland is closed indefinately.
May or may not be open by then. Probably have to stay on 18, or the 38 to get back down.
#7
I'm up for another BONSAI run down to SoCa. I will try to get the day off.
Thank you Shayne for setting up another run even if I don't make it.

Wow Shayne, long time no speak! Count me in on this one. Let me know if you're gonna do a pre-run as I know you like to do. I don't really want to ride with you, I just want to eat at Neo's Burgers!! HA HA!! Just kidding Bro! Good to hear from you again and thanks for organizing this ride. :laughing6-hehe:

I ran up to Crestline today to check the route. It had snowed this past wednesday at the upper elevations so i was concerned about ice/gravel. The 18 is good, but the 138 has a bit of gravel on it. Given that our ride isn't for another 2 weeks I figure it will be cleared by then...

Here's a couple videos of some of my ride today...

Down from Crestline via 18

#13

#14
Don't know if I can make it. It's the wife's birthday weekend. On the other hand, maybe it's her gift that I get out of the house on Sunday. Put me down as tentative.
#15

PARTLY CLOUDY

Looks good.
#19
I'll see if I can make it. It's been extremely busy at work, and I might just need to go in this coming weekend.

I just got my new camera and this would be a great opportunity to test on real moving targets.
#20
for those of us from the High Desert, figured on meeting up at TNT Cafe for a lite breakfast before heading down. Say 6:15-6:30. Leave by 7:00-7:15. If not aware, it's across the street from John's Incredible Pizza on Bear Valley just East of I-15.
#21
been eyeballing the weather for our ride, looks good!

from The Weather Channel website,

SAN BERNARDINO
P CLOUDY
76F / 53F
Precip: 20%

BIG BEAR
P CLOUDY
61F / 33F
Precip: 20%

may be a bit chilly when we head up top, recommend maybe a long sleeve tshirt under jacket.

SEE YOU ALL ON SUNDAY!
#22
TNT Cafe, that brings back memories! That was a favorite hangout for us less than punctual Hesperia High students!
#23
Something came up, I'm out fellas! Sorry Shayne, I'll have to catch you on the next one... http://www.vfrdiscus...tyle_emoticons/default/sad.gif
#24
ok, the GoPro is charged, with lots of empty sd cards, the map is loaded on the gps, and the gear is laid out. I'm ready to roll 0600 tomorrow morning.
#25
I'm still out experimenting with camera angles. The butt-cam just isn't working out too well. Even with the wide-angle feature...
#26
As I usually do, closing this topic tonight at 7:30pm. So if you check it after 7:30, it won't change. No need to recheck in the morning.

RIDE IS A GO

See y'all in the morning...

Make sure:

1- AIR PRESSURE
2- OIL LEVEL
3- GAS FIRST THING AT THE MEETUP
4- CASH FOR LUNCH ($10-15)
5- WASH YOUR BIKE. (we've got 2 GoPro's and an amateur photographer in our midst, your smiling mug and bike will end up on the internet...)
