Kennedy Meadows - LA Weekend Riders, et al: August 21-23

i will cause a log jam on beach....

Joel,

Beach is a good choice, lots of bail out fire roads that run right along side most of the trail !!

Look forward to seeing you again....Bring some of those UPS girls you know!!!

Billy

I'm goin to through this out as food for though, I can handle the heat.

Those who have been to KM before will reconize this place.

These guys put on an outrageous BBQ'd prime rib dinner on Sat. nights. If we had the non-riding inmates in camp truck the eslo meal out to Manache Meadows Sat., and the riding groups converged out there at say 1:00pm, we could have a midday BBQ and refreshment break with the whole group . Possibly changing to a different group skill level after the break. Then in the evening, we could slab it down to the Grumpy Bear for prime rib and beer.:dg
After dinner mosy over to the general store. Behind the store is an amphitheater where they show movies on sat. night during the summer. :slurp
Then a nice slab back to camp, start the fire continue drinking and BSing.
Those who still crave dirt can take the wooped out connector between fish creek camp and Troy Meadows on their prime rib full belly.
Just an option, If everyone agrees, I will call the Grumpy Bear early in the week to let them know to make sure theres enough prime rib!

eslo barb-q for lunch will cut down our riding time. it gets dark @ 8pm. besides i like to see dr slaving away while we're all relaxing

So we going north on rincon and cedar canyon to the hill o no return

just dig me a hole on the side of the rincon trail and leave a little memorial...

Joel, yer bringin the red 400 aren't you?
you'll be fine..

P.S. send me tracks..

Here's a little tip for the noobs and one super nOOb planning on doing a little single track. GEAR YOUR BIKE DOWN!!! When I ride with the ADVers
I usually run my stock street gearing 15-44. When I single track I run 14-47. Alot of guy's run a 13 front sprocket. Gearing down will really help you and your clutch in the tough spots.
Joel, I will go over my maps and put together a super nOOb single track loop with fire road bail outs.
Take heed to these words of wisdom GEAR YOUR BIKE DOWN and enjoy the single track and beautiful scenery that is KM.

Rich
P.S. If you really want to cheat, put a trials tire on the rear with 6-8 lbs of air. Just ask Ballisticexchris, its like a velcro tire!

Javier (or any one for that matter), what gearing do you suggest for the '04 450 EXC? I've never experienced KM.

Bill

13 -49 on my yz, but my 1st gear is tall

No slaving... My meat is made with love. U can taste my love in the meat

:huh Out for dinner!

I'll take two veggie tacos!

Rich

Javier (or any one for that matter), what gearing do you suggest for the '04 450 EXC? I've never experienced KM.

Billy

Hell no!! I'm staying till sun morning this time. After tackling half dome I can do anything! I'll be crying like a pussy but take it like a man!

I agree, for the novice/beginner riders Rincon is your best bet. Super easy singletrack over a few dozen logs and some 5' rock steps
