It's Tuesday and We Hit Rose-berry this Weekend


Happy Tuesday FT3! To those of you who can ride tonight, congratulations! It's going to be the best FT3 since last week. And to those of you who get to long ride in the mountains regularly, congratulations! It seems Buttons, B and XTeric may be holding the official high mountain high count on participation in the high country. Is there a shirt for that?

You should know by now that Rose-Hole-berry is going down this weekend. Here are the high level details once again. If you have more detail and permission to edit this blog please clarify as needed.

Riders Currently "IN": 5 Pack - NoCar, B, Cap'n (Day 1 rider),  Xteric, Dr. J

If you wish to participate in some manner other that what is outlined here you are welcome!

Unknown Local? Buttons? Day 2, Sunday-only riders? Safety?? RETIRED GUY!!!???

Rose-Hole - the details:

Thursday Evening: Secure Camping Spot at Big Meadow Campground at Luther Pass near Meyers  - NoCar

Friday evening: 

  • Depart Pville, leave car at Knott Hole (or strawberry) for 2 day riders. 
  • Riders drive to Myers and arrive at said camp spot. (FYI to those who wish to ride with me up there, I am heading up at 5 or 5:30pm.)
  • Our shuttle driver will be spending the night at Big Meadow with us. He will sleep in the shuttle rig and will be on site ready to roll when we are
  • Saturday morning: Depart in shuttle at 5:00am? Shuttle driver has authorized a McDonald's stop if deemed necessary this year. The shuttle cost is $30 per rider and I think we should tip him so plan on $35 minimum. I know he is making a big push to take five riders this early.
  • Shuttle to Rose
  • Ride back to Big Meadow (best part)
Saturday evening: Day one riders either spend the night or go home with tail between legs in auto

Sunday morning: Day one riders go home with tail between legs (me included) taking one for the team by returning camp gear to NoCar or B's. Day two riders depart for Strawberry

Sunday evening: Two Day riders arrive at Knott Hole Strawberry Lodge and hopefully eat chicken bake western bacon cheeseburgers, drive dropped car home.


And for tonight?

ONE!!

  3. How can I get excited about riding tonight with so little interest from the blog!! At least B will be present. I am looking to roll up to the lot just after 5 for a pre-ride, let me know if you want to join. I like Rose-Berry.

  4. In for tonight
    Nice write up Cappy. Wish I could make it. If no car can remember the water stash from last year on kingsberry I checked it one month ago and there is still one gallon of water.
    I will be up there on Wednesday and will place a 12er in the same spot.
