Roll Call - Bucks Lake 06/08/14

GreenMachine · June 05, 2014, 02:37:03 PM

9:00 AM START due to our early Spring and early Summer temps.

RSVP* if you're interested in participating in another one of our epic rides. If you do not RSVP, the ride may be canceled even if you had planned on showing up the day of the ride.

This is a C+ skill level ride and it is a full day ride. Bucks lake is a north route ride and we will be starting this ride earlier than traditional June rides, just to keep ahead of the heat. Once at our destination, the group will decide on where to stop for lunch. Sometimes that has been Oroville and other times that has been Quincy.

If you like to ride and enjoy riding long distances through pine lined twisty roads, you won't be disappointed.

* RSVP - répondez, s'il vous plaît a.k.a. please reply.

I'd like to do this ride and will make it if it's on.

What's the route GM? Sierravillie, gold lake to Quincy ? Or what did you have planned, I looked at the ride calendar but got confused.

288RR · June 05, 2014, 08:26:41 PM

And what ever the route is, I should make it on it.

There are several routes we can take, each with its own advantages. I think we can go our most common route, which is Sierraville, Bassetts, Quincy, Oroville. Return reverse route home. We can stop where you guys would like to have your pictures taken.

It's going to be hot down there, forecast at 107*. It'll be a low of 73* when we leave Reno. It is going to be a stinker. Bring water and probably some spongy clothing you can soak for once we're heading down into the valley. Some of the guys have used those water vests and that keeps them cool for about 50 miles before it dries out. We'll see about how far down we want to go.

The more the merrier! So stop talking and start working on making that happen.

I'm thinking of mountain biking Pevine Saturday. After riding dirt and now riding street, I'm even more convinced I'm a more confident street rider because of the dirt riding experience. Want to keep that area of knowledge fresh. Plus I need the exercise.

Man, that's hot.

My family is throwing me a big BD party on Sunday, can't make it! Dang it. Actually, I was born on D-day, June 6, 1944. Do I feel 70? Hell no! Trying to keep the pace with you young dudes keeps me young and eager for the ride! I have yet to outgrow the need for speed. My motto has always been, "If you ain't livin' life on the edge, then you're taking up too much space!"
Ride safe kids and have a swell time!
