Title: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Saturday 7/30 Post by: CromoMann on July 22, 2011, 09:44:01 PM ********UPDATED WITH DETAILS*****************
I think there's some interest in a ride and burger meat-up. [beer] Let's work up an appetite with a morning ride and have lunch at one of the Squeeze-Inns around town. We will meet Saturday morning and try to beat the heat. The ride starts at "Bella Brew" in El Dorado Hills at around 7:45 - for a departure at 8am, (BB is located in a stripmall just North-East of Hwy 50 and the El Dorado Hills exit 3941 Park Dr # 70, El Dorado Hills, CA, 95762). - we will then use the following route: Ride map (http://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=Saratoga+Way&daddr=CA-193+W%2FCA-49+N%2FEl+Dorado+St+to:Mosquito+Ridge+Rd+to:Auburn+Ravine+Rd+to:106+N.+Sunrise+Ave.+Ste.+C1,+Roseville,+CA+95661+(Squeeze+Inn)&hl=en&ll=38.948729,-120.942993&spn=0.758293,1.105499&sll=38.923159,-121.055946&sspn=0.022871,0.034547&geocode=FdfQTQIdz5vI-A%3BFQDPUQIdzg_J-A%3BFZfYVAIdgr7R-A%3BFTDsUQIdm9PI-A%3BFYA0TwIdkpzF-CHvaAjvftDiXQ&mra=mi&mrsp=3&sz=15&t=h&z=10) and artery clogging goodness ensues. Any other questions/concerns? -m Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Post by: MetalDuc on July 25, 2011, 10:39:06 AM Sounds good. Looks like both days are going to be equally warm so I'm up for either. The Squeeze Inn in Roseville is going to be the closest at the end of the ride or on Power Inn, depending if you come back 49 to Salmon Falls to 50 for a little extra twisty ride time.
Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Post by: MetalDuc on July 25, 2011, 01:08:35 PM I think I'll make my vote for Saturday with Sunday as the backup option.
Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Post by: CromoMann on July 25, 2011, 07:18:39 PM okay... sending PMs to recent-posters in the Central Cal Monsters area...
Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Post by: Sachica on July 25, 2011, 08:05:05 PM Saturday or Sunday works for me. Since there is already a vote for Saturday, I'll second that. I've never ridden Mosquito Ridge but it sounds good.

Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Post by: Heath on July 25, 2011, 09:02:18 PM Sounds fun but I work most weekends. :-\ I really need to get some new riding pants too so I can have proper gear. Maybe next time.
Thanks for the PM cromo Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Post by: CromoMann on July 25, 2011, 09:40:01 PM I sent PMs to a couple others - if we don't hear about any strong aversions to Saturday - we'll make it official tomorrow.
Check back later. -m Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Post by: MetalDuc on July 26, 2011, 06:26:42 PM Something like this?

We can see how we're doing on time. If we don't reach French Meadows Res. - then we can probably look to turn back around 10:30-11am. I'll modify th original post with the route and meetup times... Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Saturday 7/30 Post by: MetalDuc on July 28, 2011, 12:52:15 PM I suspect we won't reach French Meadows but I had the same plan to turn around at some point along the way depending on time.
8am launch from BB is perfect and gas is available at this location to start off with a full tank. At least one more fill up will be required along the way. [Dolph] Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Saturday 7/30 Post by: Sachica on July 28, 2011, 03:29:55 PM See you there! ;D

Ride Safe. Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Saturday 7/30 Post by: CromoMann on July 30, 2011, 02:07:51 PM Can't do Saturday...hopefully I'm in for next time. We'll try a Sunday next time.Ride Safe. Sorry you couldn't make it this time 'Lovedust' [snicker] Look forward to another ride soon. Good to see your back!. -m Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Saturday 7/30 Post by: Heath on August 04, 2011, 09:39:07 PM soooooooooooooo how did it go?
Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Saturday 7/30 Post by: CromoMann on August 05, 2011, 07:51:34 AM Sorry for the suspense Heath - we all perished :).JK all safe and sound.
We had a fun ride with great weather. Didn't make it as far back as we have in past,so we'll have to try it again sometime soon. Wentworth Springs was also discussed. The finale Squeeze Inn burger was also worth the wate. Great to meet MetalDuc and Sachica. We'll figure out some other riding days - it would be great to get you and Lovedust back out for a ride. Title: Re: Mosquito Ridge and a burger chaser... Saturday 7/30 Post by: MetalDuc on August 15, 2011, 04:04:48 PM Very well. What could beat a nice ride followed by lunch at the Squeeze Inn?
