Guys let's try to ride all the way to Wrightwood as a group this time!

Meet at Shell gas station at 8:00am, and head out at 8:05 am. After we head to Wrightwood and back the temps will still be comfortable.


Breakfast at Newcomb's Ranch, and rest for a bit until the food settles and we'll head out. However if we've become lazy then we'll cancel the Wrightwood portion (hope not).


Route from Jay's Shell to Newcomb's Ranch.

Now this sounds like a trip :D.

How long does it usually take to get to Wrightwood? And what would be our return ETA? If it's not too late you can count me in.

that looks like 10 miles or less?

I really don't keep track of time but I figure 1/2hr to 45 min from Newcomb's to Wrightwood. If we start from the gas station, eat at Newcombs and rest, and head to Wrightwood and backtrack to Newcombs for a short break then go back towards the gas station should be before noon.

I'm still planning to go so if anyone wants to come along just chime in. Will most likely just do Newcomb's and back (no Wrightwood).
