Skyline this Saturday

[tinaballina]

I know there is a big group from the ODC going up Saturday at 4am and i believe Cy is going up at 3:30am, is there anyone going around 4:45/5am by chance?

I usually start just before 6;00. The tram road opens at about 5:30, so I follow the guy up with my bike in my truck. I park my truck at the upper lot, then bike back to PS. I lock the bike at the trailhead, and off I go.

This Saturday, I have some tight time constraints, so I'll probably be starting right at 6:00, then catch the tram back down at 9:45 or so. That should get me back home by around 10:30, so I can get busy with my day. For anyone leaving earlier, perhaps I'll catch up to you and have a chance to say hi. I can always stop a minute to chat, so if you're of such a mind, we can speak alittle and get to know each other a bit. Hope to see you out there on the trail.

I will probably start around 5-5:30, I hope to see you both on the trail, you have my pic in my avatar so please say howdy.
Z- you do the trail in 3:45? Hence your name I am sure.

Hi Tina, I'm pretty sure Steve Fausset (Osama) and his friends will be leaving DM at 4.40ish. They're very friendly and I'm sure will not mind if you hike with them. Steve is superfast (5 hours to tram or less) but others may be slower. At any rate I'm sure you will find people to hike with during the first hour or two. There should be so many people on the mountain on Saturday you will find it easy to meet up with compatible-speedsters.

Everyone look out for everyone else this weekend on the trail, and be safe.

Hey, Zip, just look for the hiking partner in Tina's photo. Dead give away.

Hi tinabacktobackallina!

"I had to kick him to the curb, too high maintance." Brutal! Wow - first back-to-back trips, now this! I'm scared! I sure hope you're in a good mood when I meet you on the trail!

With regard to the time, my first trip was about the same time as yours. After a while, you get used to the trail and your time comes down a bit. Remember, too, there is someone here on this board (Perry) who leaves me in the dust (he's an HOUR faster!) so I'm nothin' special. Just havin' fun!

I don't have a photo avatar, but I usually wear triathlon/biking wear when I'm doing the trail, so if you see some fool that looks totally out of place in the wilderness, that would be me!
