Soboba Invitational next weekend, then Barstow to Avi on March 6-7 wknd. The usual suspects aren't gonna go, so anyone interested in partnering. I ride intermediate/advanced, do all the Hard Ways unless it's getting late, and whine only a little bit....... Live in Irvine area.
BBTR member BBTR is a well-organized club with high standards. I've been a member for five years and done maybe two BBTR rides per year. I've broken bones on the Big Bear Run Challenge to prove it. Why?
The only reason I asked is because I know that most of these guys are very good riders and typically put on very challenging rides. When you read one of their roll charts and it says "most difficult" they aren't kidding. The Mojave Trail is a pretty sedate ride traversing mostly desert jeep trails and when you said that BBTR was sponsoring the event I had visions of them making a detour out across the Mojave flood plains where you can find silt beds deep enough to swallow both bike and rider. Since you're a member of the group then you know what to expect.
www.bigbeartrailriders.com Membership is $25 for year, ride costs $35 including chase van with gear bag. Is not a race. Knowing the BBTR, it'll probably be the opposite - a challenging crawl at some parts. On some of their rides you get a plaque if you are simply able to FINISH the ride. But other of our rides are simply uniquely scenic without the challenges.
