OLD RIDGE ROUTE ROAD & PICNIC

Once again I will be taking on the Old Ridge Route Road, but this time in its entirity instead of breaking it up into two rides. This will be accomplished by using a car shuttle for the first time, so please read the following carefully and answer the questions.
IMPORTANT: To accomplish this, we will all need to drive to the INITIAL MEETUP LOCATION alone and with a bike rack or vehicle capable of carrying two e-bikes. From there we will take half of the vehicles, loaded with two bikes each, to our STARTING LOCATION.
If you have a fat tire e-bike, make sure you pair up with another rider that has a bike rack or vehicle capable of carrying two fat tire e-bikes.
THEREFORE, IN THE COMMENTS PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:
1). Do you have a vehicle or bike rack that can carry two e-bikes? If no, please don't sign up for this event.
2). Does your e-bike have fenders?
3). Can your bike rack support e-bikes with fenders?

After the ride and after retriving the cars left at our STARTING MEETUP LOCATION, we will then drive over to nearby Castaic Lake Park for a picnic.
