Yeah I was checking this out. Looks cool! I don't really have good running lights. Hows the street lights on this route?

I'll be showing up for this cause it looks like a really sweet ride.

the street lighting is poor, bordering on non-existent.

bright lights are a must.. i've got about 3 rear lights though, and will probably be pulling a trailer (training for a tour).

if we can get at least 5 people, we should be fine. i can't imagine there will be too much traffic on mullholland at that hour, but we will need to be careful regardless.

I was more concerned about headlights. The light I have would not work for bombing down hills. Regardless, I'll be there.

BTW, I'm taking the redline back when it starts up again in the morning.

what's the route for this week's wolfpack, and how long does it last? we're not rolling out till midnight.

so, if we start earlier, like rolling out at 9, we can probably catch the wolfpack on mulholland and beverly glen..

thoughts?

WTF? You're changing this ride with less than 12 hrs till the start? Great way to have peeps bail on you.

wolfpack does not wait for you

and you can't 'catch' woflpack

mulholland at night is always a bad idea
this is even worse when you ride with people who have never done such a route.

don't lose anybody in the hills tonight.

nothing's changed, i was just asking for opinions.

yours is pretty clear, and considering that i don't know who's showing up besides you, yours carries a lot of weight.

@iJ, i'm not interested in riding wolfpack right now. MMMM is not a hustle ride.

re: bombing down hills -- i think the downhill part near hayvenhurst is actually fairly well lit. i was referring to most of mulholland..

>> then you shouldn't meet with wolfpack.

agreed. i should have just said no from the start.

the game plan's the same plan it always was. i'll be riding with a BOB trailer with a goodie or 18 in it for the stops.

everything about this ride was awesome last night. the sky was crystal clear which made all the views at every stop just kick ass. it was nice meeting you guys and have a good trip up north Kevin. count me in next time you do this ride.
