10) If we pooled up some cash to bribe Ashford to help us out with shuttles for the day, what would you be willing to contribute?
Up to $50 for the whole day

1 Mt. Pinos or McGill campground
2 for sure 2 days maybe Friday as well
3 8 am at the bottom is just fine
4 my car can hold 5 people and maybe one small guy in the back. My rack holds 4 bikes plus it is usually possible to tie one additional one on. I may however bring 2 bikes
5 not sure about a potluck?
6 totally up for a night ride but most everyone is toasted tired before the sun goes down and too drunk after dark. Maybe Friday night?
7 Good enough to get 10 runs in in a day at Mt Pinos
8 626 485-5163
9 Maybe, ski season is still going to be very active at Mammoth
10 I've found that using my car to shuttle all day uses a tank of gas. 50 might be a little steep but maybe? There may be a van and trailer available to rent and we supply a driver? Anyone interested in that?
