And in the winter we'll have an easier go to the ski area there!

And in the winter we'll have an easier go to the ski area there! W Ahh yes.....straight up to Wrighwood for some actual good breakfast. Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: Smokescreen on August 27, 2008, 03:09:36 PM 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!

W 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] Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: Smokescreen on August 27, 2008, 08:39:09 PM I live well past Nuke's. Once I've ridden with a couple of you, mayhap I'll have a bbq up round there...

I'm jealous [thumbsup] Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: arai_speed on September 03, 2008, 09:36:45 AM 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] Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: Smokescreen on September 03, 2008, 01:46:32 PM 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.

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. Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: Smokescreen on September 03, 2008, 02:56:26 PM 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. Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: aprilmaybe on September 05, 2008, 08:29:43 AM 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? Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: Smokescreen on September 08, 2008, 03:38:35 PM we could do one soon! when are you thinkin'?
Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: Smokescreen on September 29, 2008, 11:42:44 AM They are claiming the road to Wrightwood will be opened like November 1st now, and closed November 2nd..... For the winter.
Title: Re: contruction on ACH Post by: arai_speed on September 29, 2008, 01:21:44 PM Woot! A one day window on a Saturday! I see a ride coming up soon...
