    Naaah... Its all good :D

    McD's (15/138) to Summit Inn via Cleghorn is a fairly short ride, but still might take awhile with a larger group.

    Plenty of places to ride after :dg if anyone wants to make a longer day out of it.

    The 'playground' out towards Lucerne is a bit of a ways away with some pavement stretches involved.

    I'm trying hard to get my dad in on this ride, but he doesn't care much bigger groups (slows him down :wink:)
    He's also a bit picky about who he rides with, so I would ask y'all to be on yer good behavior :devildog

    Ersin made the cut last year while following dad down a Baldy Mesa single track trail...
    Likely I will meet my dad at Lytle Creek ~7:30 and we'll work our way up to McD's by 8:30.

    Your dad is an amazing rider. I would be happy to ride with him again. :clap
    If we have lunch around 12-1pm we will have plenty of time for an other loop afternoon.

    Anyone in the SFV want to rideshare out to the meet spot?

    I'm off the 118 and DeSoto - probably be leaving my place ~6:45 - trucking my 310 out the McDonald's.

    And no, there won't be any pit stops at Charlie Brown Farms to sit on a fiberglass dinosaur. :D

    We are planning to take Cleghorn to 138 to 3N45 or 3N48 to Mariposa Road to Summit Inn for the morning session. Short and easy due to high number of riders and big bikes. Probably many stops for beer and pictures. Once we are done with lunch, probably around 1-1:30pm, we can have an other 2-3 hours of riding towards Baldy Mesa.
    Bottom line is, it is going to be a kick back ride. Mostly for socializing and having fun, rather than long miles. However, if you want to break up and head to desert please feel free to do so. :D We will have a large group and we have to split them anyways.
