If you had to put together your top 10 this year... who would your money be on with the current start list?

Oh dear - these conditions are not stacking up for me

I wonder if I should start looking at alternative rides to do?

Hi Erin

You mentioned possible muddy section around Carrizo - what are the rough mile markers that this might potentially be?
Just trying to get as much info on the route for planning purposes.

Thanks
Dave

Anyone in Los Angeles know of a retired or non-working individual who would be willing to lift me to the Frazier Mountain region (~85 miles)? Happy to pay for gas/time as agreed.
Collection from LAX on Friday 26th February @14h00?

OK - so looking at my set up for my ride end Feb.

Weather wise for that time of year - do you think I will be OK sleeping out or do you think a shelter of some sort would be better? Not necessarily just for wet - but also considering the temperatures?

You mentioned water will be more abundant that time of the year - what would be the recommendations for carrying capacity?

How safe is the route to ride at night? Are there any sections that are treacherous or non-advisable to do at night?

Thanks
Dave

 

Hey Erin - for the on-foot hike - do you expect a hike-a-bike walk or leave bikes at the base and hike up?

Hey Erin

Do you think the 2016 gpx / route will be finalized by the end of Feb? If not I may just choose to Mt Pinos and do the 2015 route.

Cheers
Dave

OK - so planning a trip to LA at the end of Feb (26th) and figured I would possibly use the opportunity to ITT the Tour De Los Padres route. Being one of the earlier starters in the year I have a few questions to those who have done it before.

1) Starting the end of Feb - will this be to early (potential for rain or snow?)
2) I will be arriving in LAX - does anyone have any suggestions to get to the start in Fraizer Park?
3) Any must see or stops along the way?
4) Anyone want to join me?!

Cheers
Dave

Anyone else watching Rons' northbound tracking today.... looks like he has turned back - could it be the trail conditions & snow - as this is where Billy was having issues and bailed into touring mode

Anyone on the same shuttle as me?? Banff Airporter - 1230 YYC to Banff - Jun 10 2015
Good to know who I will be riding with!!!

@ Dave - thanks so much for this! This is one of the most useful resources I have found in planning my trip!

You rock!

Anyone know or had any updates from Stephen Short? Looks like he was northbound - but has come to a stop??

Looks a lot less in comparison to 2014.

At this stage I will be back for round two! Loads of learnings and agree with the esteemed Veteran Scott - best $$ you spend will be on a PROFESSIONAL bike fitting.
