For GMan and everybody else. I'm gonna scout around next Saturday, if
I can get up there, and if 20-Mile isn't cleared, we'll do some
variation on last year, but rather than hike for an hour to the
crashed bomber, I'm going swimming! And let's keep our breaks to 10
minutes or so, and make sure everybody has *lots* of water on hand, or
a filter.
For those who have been there, I don't have to say anything, but for
everybody else, the Ruby/Loon loop is a great experience, with
something for everybody.

BUT, if Duck Lake to 20-Mile is closed, and the majority votes for
something new, we have some treats up our sleeve.
The whole Ruby/Loon sections are clear and being ridden now.
I'm leaving the family home this year, so I have a room or two still
vacant at the cabin, counting NY, myself, Alex, GMan? Tim? staying
there. GMan can even have a bed this year. It's 4 bedrooms. Our
happy couple from NY get the master sweet.
Be happy to hook up with Mr. Kennedy for the Saturday ride, or any
time that weekend.
It'll probably be hot in the afternoon, so I'm voting for beachside
bbq after the ride, with periodic dunks off the dock.
More to come. We had only 1 vehicle this weekend, so I had to stick
around town, when I'd planned to go figger things out up there for
y'all.
But it's all good.
