thx Koolaid. You're right, between the snow/roads and the holiday, certain areas are bound to be **** shows or at least very slow. i just looked at some traffic cams...took many seconds to decide whether the camera was working or not. ha.
Yuba is sure a better option for Ryan coming out of Sac. I'm in Stateline. So, if he can't or doesn't want to make it to Hope valley, they he should ride with you in Yuba. As for me, i'm at the top of Kingsbury, so going via Minden to Hope isn't usually a problem. Yuba looks like just asking for trouble from my direction. i'm ok whichever way Ryan wants to go, i have another sport that can start shortly, so LMK.
what do you think about your plans Ryan ? you make the call.
