Angeles Crest is open again woot woot! Ride up to Newcombs for brekfast on Tuesday, December 22nd. I rode up about 70% of the way before I hit snow two weeks ago; hopefully it won't be a cold front next tuesday. Meet at 10:00am at the shell station on Angeles Crest.

Is it open yet?

should be open. I think the mudslide is just temporary. Should be cleared in the next couple of days.

if it's open / safe then im in :)

I'm thinking that we'll take it very slow and if we see snow, we can decide to turn back or walk our bikes the rest of the way :) Yea andrew! got the bike patched up?

lol sure. and yeah i got my bike back 2 weeks ago. Everything runs great, it's naked right now, I'm about to install the frame sliders I bought :o and I changed to synthetic oil, smoooooth(er)

Count me in next year when the snow melts.
I don't do cold so well. :D Never done ACH by bike but have by car and saw a downed bike that day. =(

If it's still closed on tuesday, let's ride malibu?

Neptune's Net?
Rock Store?

the 23 through Westlake the Malibu Hills is a good one..
Mulholloand HWY up there on top of the hills too. Sounds like fun.

I have frame sliders coming and I still need to tighten my engine mount bolts from the 600 mile service so I still may have to sit this one out. Will definitely hook up with some LA 250 riders soon though. I know the whole area pretty well. Save me some food from Neptune's.

Aww, I wish I didn't have to work on Tuesday. I'll catch you guys one of these days, provided I don't get bombarded with overtime come January. Still, have fun ^_^

Ok. Lets do Neptunes if the 2 is still closed. I'll post up the alternate meeting point.

KC-if you need any help getting that stuff taken care of, I would be more than happy to give you a hand. Check your pm.

Thanks for the offer dude.
Just waiting for a few things to show up in the mail still before I get started.

Cleaned up my garage and bought all the tools needed today.

Gotta put a battery tender, GPS mount and a few other mods along with the frame sliders.

I'll probably miss this one guys I'll make it out for sure one of these days though. Just starting to get all my riding act together again. :thumbup:

I actually tightened those bolts tonight but I need to lube the chain, pull chain slack and put all that other stuff on anyways so I might as well wait.

i'm going to have to sit this one out too :( I have to volunteer at habitat for humanity (it's for school, i didnt do anything :D). I have to do 20 hours in 2 weeks but they're closed for the holidays and on sundays and mondays so I have to do it asap. sorry, but at least its for a good cause :thumbup:

Alright. So nobody is in?

You think there will be a lot of commuter traffic. I have to cross downtown to get to santa monica? That is what makes me nervous!

nah. shouldn't be too bad. Do you take freeways or just surface streets?

I'd be there for sure if it wasn't for all the crap I have in store for my bike :D
Here's my excuse..

I'll go on the freeway today to see how I like it and get back to you.

Cool. If you're in, we'll cruise PCH :thumbup:

Canyons, see you next year!

It was windy sitting up and noisey if I laid on the tank, but I freak out whenever I see traffic stopped and that's when get off than deal with it! But I deal with surface street traffic fine!
Looks like rain on Tues though!

ACH just reopened!
