mud - i dont think im gonna pull the quad this weekend.  the valley is calling and my knee isnt strong enough for that kind of day.  i hope you havent been banking on it, but then again, i have called you at least 4 times in the past two weeks and have not received a return call.

i could be game for the quad or pal traverse on 8/9 or 8/23 though...

All my climbing is happening indoors at the moment. We've been swamped with moving, renting the condo, and family events, but are planning some long overdue outdoor climbing. Hopefully this Fall will be good in the Valley. Gotta finish the rostrum.

By the way, any of you climbed in Los Padres? The fire footage seems to show some nice looking rock in the background...

I will give a call during the day today.  Have been fairly lax with the cell since my headset quick working.  Probably a good idea not to push the knee plus that Valley is just a good place to be.  Amazing considering the Rangers, hoards of crowds and everything else.  August could work.  Let me look at my work schedule a bit.

20 mile round trip

out into the south bay near the wildlife refuge in the afternoon when the wind blows south and east as you are riding north and west mostly.

OK - how about 6:30 we meet in the Arastradero OSP parking lot?

I will need to leave here by 5:15 so I can ride my ROAD bike home and drive back w/my mountain bike.

Squiddo - you are definitely more than welcome to join us!

Sheesh. This thread was really about "hey, why are people not climbing?!"

Anyway, what I've found that works really well for me is attending group rides.  I have been riding Arastradero on most Mondays with dirt divas and Water Dog with Passion Trail on Wednesdays. Looks like I'll be riding with road divas on Tuesdays.  You know that their rides are always there, so you can plan accordingly. And if on any day, you can't make it, the ride will happen with or without you. So, less pressure and no guilt, and no back-and-forth coordination. Plus, you meet fun people too. Don't tell me you are too shy to meet new people.

A few rides I know of that's happening down south can be found here and here.

Inch by inch, I will get there.

Cool munge, see you @ 6p.

Squiddo, you in?

Mud - I may start joining you and/or other group rides at some point once the Blur is built up and tweaked after some test rides. The Gary Fisher is probably not what I want to be riding at Waterdog or Skeggs.
