Lurking...I'm no newb to sand though. Been riding dirt bikes in Glamis and the rest of the desert since the 1980's.

Thanks for sharing. I missed the desert for NY's this year because of work. I feel better now. :rolleyes:/>

That was a big miss!! We'll take it though!

Very cool route...looks like fun.

I'm a maybe bro. Let me talk to the watch commander in the morning after the peewees open their presents and I'll shoot you a text.

That's some of my kinda riding. I really, really, want to hit that area soon.

Sure seems like a better commuter, especially considering the amount of miles you do. Congrats

Wish I could join you guys, but I've got to work!

Hilarious....had me LMAO!!!

Was that Bikeslut wearing the number 10 at the 1:53 mark??? :heh:/> :heh:/> :heh:/>

nice to know, thanks for posting.

I haven't ridden in two weeks since I've been travelling. I had an opportunity to jump on the 950 this morning so I called up VanJoosten and we set out for another adventure. When we left Ramona, it was in the mid 30's. Our route took us through Ramona, Santa Ysabelle, Julian, Anza Borrego, and back. At the highest altitudes it was in the high 20's. There was fresh snow on some of the peaks.....and I was a tad cold but it was still doable. So, as far as whether conditions and temperature go, where do you draw the line? Is the high end apparel like Klim worth the money in adverse whether conditions? Any advise on staying warm?

BTW, snow is expected above 3000' tomorrow. Who wants to ride???

Yeah, the dirt was amazing today. And like I said, the cold, even in the 30's, was doable. But it would have been nice to have warm hands and warms...um, well, never mind. I used hand warmer packs in my gloves, which helped a tad. Next time I'll throw a pack in my drawers too... :heh:/> Afry mentioned grip heaters....that looks like a decent option as the KTM setup is only $100 and easy to install. They are on my short list. I also spent over and hour researching heated gear...damn, that stuff looks nice but the price adds up fast. ...and it actually gave me an idea about doing wireless heated gloves, but I can't share the details yet until I submit my patent :coolio:/>

Thanks for the update and the hard work getting the site upgraded...I appreciate having this resource and I'm sure many others do too. Carry on!

I have a nice 16'x8', dual axle you can barrow, no problem. It has ramps and is ready to go. I live off Highland Valley Rd., about 2 miles west of 67. PM if interested.

Hey boys, I hope you made it out there today. I just got home from three days out there and today was by far the best of the three days. Friday and Saturday were extremely windy. Today = awesome.

Very nice of you, thanks!!

Snow machines are a blast! As long as you don't get them stuck...really bitch to get them unstuck

Glad you made it there safe. I hit SYTT, Black Mtm TT, Lusardi TT, etc today and was thinking of you. I roosted some sections in your honor.

They did a respectable job!

Thinking about you brother and sending positive thoughts and prayers your way...

Sorry, I'm out. Got ordered to work mandatory OT. :angry2:/> :angry2:/> :angry2:/>

The wife and I have stayed here before. It just reopened after being purchased by a new owner. http://www.lacasadelzorro.com/ If you plan on renting quads for the kids or a SXS, you better make reservation asap. You could also camp at Palm Canyon campground.

My vote, in order of preference, would be option 1, option 2, then option 3...and that's simply based on the fact that I've done option 3 many times, but never option 1 or 2. Approximate staging time?
