I'm still up for a ride this Saturday--and will join whatever loop you LA locals come up with as long as there's not technical single-track and as long as it's 50 miles or less. I'll be coming from OC with my Appaloosa on the back of my truck, so a start time after say 7:30 am would be best for

Funny you should mention Chuck's ride, Ted. I believe I met you a couple years ago when you happened upon the ride and I was on my (now former, a little too French fit) blue Rambouillet. The Sierra Madre loop I have developed borrows somewhat from that ride but subtracts some turn and the climb
