David13 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 John and I are going to ride out to La Canada and up to Wrightwood on Angeles Crest Sunday, this week, the 10th. If you are interested let me know where you want to meet. We plan on leaving the general south bay area at 9 a.m. Rain is predicted and there still is a lot of snow on Angeles Crest so it promises to be an exciting ride. If you like excitement. dc Link to comment
JerryMather Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 There's very little snow up there anymore. Link to comment

David13 Posted July 10, 2011 Author Share Posted July 10, 2011 I think 10:15, more or less. Were going to meet & leave Gardena at 9. So, traffic permitting. Unless you are coming down Angeles Forest? Then you could meet us at the parking lot at Forest and Crest. dc Link to comment

Heyfrank Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I just got in. I have in-laws visiting this weekend. I don"t know when I am going to be free. I have to, or should I say ,it might be wise to play nice this weekend. Maybe mid day release. Have fun everybody. Link to comment
David13 Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Jerry didn't make it, neither did Frank. But we did have myself, Don, John and Carl. And ate at the Grizzly Cafe in Wrightwood. Coming back we split up, as they were going back by way of the north side as that is where Don came from. John with Don as he wanted more miles. And Carl headed east from there since that was where he came from. Fair food at the Grizzly Cafe, I can't complain. On the way back, I hit the one small bit of tar snake on the whole road and slipped about 6 inches. That feels funny. I stopped at Newcombs to drink water and 13 emergency services vehicles came up, heading up to the north east from there. All code red lights flashing, with siren. So whatever it was, was immediately behind me, by only a minute or two. I'm finally loosening up on the new bike, a little. dc Link to comment
Heyfrank Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Frank made it but I was late. I got to nucombs about 2:00 and then went to grizzly in wrightwood and road back to the 210 on the 2. I like my radar detector but the bike in front of me probably wished he had one. Sorry I missed you guys but got some good karma with wife today. Next time I will get the pay off. Link to comment

Mr Duck and I plan on doing a Hwy 33-Lake Elizabeth run on Friday. What do ya think? Link to comment
C_Williams Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Home at 18:00. Decided I had to have more fun after we ate at The Grizzly Café, so with John in tow we followed Don, down the North side, Fort Tejon Rd., left at Mt. Emma Rd. to Angeles Forest Hwy. Don turned off towards Palmdale at Angeles Forest Hwy. John and I then turned left and headed to Sunland where John headed West and I headed East on the 210. All in all a good day of riding and good company. I think John might have a picture or two to post. Proving that in did happen. Sorry we missed you Frank Link to comment
Heyfrank Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 At this point i"m not sure. My job might end on friday and if it does we might head out to north cal. I love the 33 and the lake Elizabeth road . Sorry I missed you guys. It"s been awhile. I did stop and take a picture of my odometer today when it hit 100,000 mi. Kind of neat. Link to comment
Heyfrank Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Sorry I missed you guys also. As late a I left I thought of going up the North side first but went up forest hwy south, to big Tujunga canyon to 2 then north. mount Emma to the 2 I might have crossed you guys. Next time Carl. Link to comment

Heyfrank Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Ok MR. Duck. Are you up to do the 58 anytime soon. Its going to get hot pretty soon but that is a great ride also. This could qualify as more to come. Link to comment
JerryMather Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Glad you guys had fun. I was in Santa Barbara celebrating SB Ducati's WIN Sat. evening @ their shop and didn't get back in time to do this one with you guys. Link to comment
longjohn Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 In at 18:00 also. Had a great time with awesome roads and fine folks. I hadn't been on ACH in many years so I was due, and I will be going back again and again. David and Carl wanted some pics, so here ya go: We met at the Shell station and the first stop was Mt. Wilson A view of the LA basin, hazy as it is A little wider angle of the basin Next stop was the Grizzly Cafe David, Carl, and Don waiting for a table These are on Angeles Forest Hwy It was gettin' a little warm out there so we found a shady tree to rest under for a bit and say our farewells.

Groanup Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Looks like you guys had fun! Sorry I had to miss it. Family obligations kept me at home for the weekend. Hopefully I'll get out for the "more to come" stuff. Link to comment
