Pelican Crest run next Wed or Thur?
 
So far I'm open both days and the weather is glorious!! Let me know if anyone else is free to head up to Wrightwood for lunch.

I'll join in on one of these rides, but I'm grounded at the moment - waiting for a new ECU to come in.

Ah, I see you have found it....
What happened to your ECU?
Still the dreaded Italian Electronic Gremlins?

I went up early this am while the wife and kid slept... brrrr it is cold up there in the early morning!

I don't know if I can make it this week... work seems to get in the way of things.

Yes, the Italians are apparently lacking in patents :mad:

I've missed out on the last two of these rides and sadly will miss another. I'm waiting on parts to fix my smashed up rear brake.

SergioK 10-31-2011 09:35 AM

Hurry up before the fires, rains, mudslides, etc take ACH out yet again!

bradzdotcom 10-31-2011 09:56 AM

seriously sergio.
if the long term history of that section of road comtinues to be consistent, the window of opportunity to ride it is very, very narrow.
the SOB will slide off, fall down, burn or otherwise incapacitate itself in a matter of months if not days.
it's one of those roads that doesn't want to be a road.
the chaz bono of asphalt.

One of the big right hand sweepers (going up) used to be nice and smooth... single apex, now it's basically a double apex but in between there's an ever so slight pavement change (in height as well) that makes the turn an absolute *****.

I'm out for this week although I could ride next week Thursday, weather permitting. It's getting pretty sketchy weather wise though. Did idylwild last Tuesday and spent nearly the entire day in low clouds and fog, wet and cold.

Ralf, KJazz & I did the same about three years ago... it was in the 40's too... good times.

I'm still up in the air as for Wed. or Thurs... work is unpredictable at times.

signit98 10-31-2011 04:39 PM

Well, work is predictable for me... and I will have to work on Wed. I am out... sadly.

As for what we did 3 years ago, serg... we HAD SNOW up the hill, remember?

SergioK 10-31-2011 05:08 PM

Oh yeah!

What the hell, I thought you had some pretty strict rules about not working on week days, and not surfing on the weekend?

Jozef Schumann 10-31-2011 06:06 PM

embark from?

SergioK 10-31-2011 09:03 PM

Usually the Shell.

macfly 11-01-2011 07:42 AM

Yep, I'm still good to go if anyone else is, 10am leave from the Shell station at the 2/210.

Jozef Schumann 11-01-2011 08:32 AM

I'm in - Tomorrow or?
