That road work is occuring past where the road is closed, so the ony effect it'll have is when they finally open the road, we can have group rides all the way to Wrightwood! And in the winter we'll have an easier go to the ski area there!

Ahh yes.....straight up to Wrighwood for some actual good breakfast.
Well I actually like the food at Nuke's, and as it's the closest restaraunt to my house, that's handy! But is there good eats in Wrightwood? What is this good eats place called?! It'll be more or less just as far in the other direction, so I'm more than willing to werk that!

Where the heck do you live? In the mountains? I can't remember the name of the breakfast place in Wrightwood, but it's much better then Nukes in my opinion. Once the road is open, we can all ride up there and you can judge for yourself [thumbsup]
I live well past Nuke's. Once I've ridden with a couple of you, mayhap I'll have a bbq up round there...

Do you actually live in the national forest? If so where exactly? That be such a great place to live! I'm jealous [thumbsup]
Smokescreen is clearly keeping his pad top secret as he probably does not want us to use it as a hide out when running away from the [leo] at ACH.
BTW - that salt/dirt shit they put out on the road past Oldcombs is terrible...please post up when it clears up.
[thumbsup]
I do actually live in the Nat Forrest, though as noted above, the location is as yet, undisclosed...
The stuff in the road is actually just sand from all the sandstone. CalTrans has been doing the normal summer housekeeping, but with the state budget even more Californified than normal, their sweeper is not running and nothing is being done about it. Monday I went down to Panorama and swept out the uphill side in preparation for my bike, but it could use a few more hours of sweeping at Williamspeed. I learned to sweep in the ARMY... Hopefully however the roads will clear up a bit shortly. Incidentally, they are pretty clear past my pad and dirty below. Not great for the commute.

Aha! That was just a bait for you to give us some sense of your geographic location....we are onto you 007!
Sorry...it's been long day and this "work" thing is bringing me down.
Work.... Is a four letter word...
And I prefer a well louched Absinthe to a Martini any day... Soon enough Julia and I will be back to regualr riding, then I expect it'll be short notice before the braver ACH riders begin to decend on our cabin in the woods. Hopefully before winter. It snows where I live.
Snow is a four letter word :P
I'm so thrilled the road is finally on its way to being open, the piece above Nukes is great. Now when is that BBQ?
we could do one soon! when are you thinkin'?
They are claiming the road to Wrightwood will be opened like November 1st now, and closed November 2nd..... For the winter.
Woot! A one day window on a Saturday! I see a ride coming up soon...
