bikeslut 1 Posted November 14, 2011 I am computer challenged right now, so no pictures from me- After numerous timing issues, location issues etc, I cancelled the Corral ride...a couple of phone calls and we had a small group One clogged jet later and we had two of us...trophy got a GoPro so he may have some shots, but mine were mostly scenery shots- The dirt was perfect everywhere- we did all the usual trails, sandwashes and hill climbs- trophy kicked ass on the DR650- did all the difficult climbs without a hiccup- motored up redhill like childs play- cleaned all the rocky climbs and descents to the overlook- in short- we rode around and got lost and acted like jackasses- good fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted November 14, 2011 I arrived a little before Bob so I wandered down to the border fence, It's still incredible to me that our tax dollars built that huge thing....which based on this pic, will keep folks out. Motored over to the Rock House overlook. There was a tour bus there and a guy from Liverpool, England, came over to talk. He was shocked to find out I was an American and wasn't riding a Harley. Ah, stereotypes. He was a bike guy and currently has a BMW tourer. Bob finishing the top of Stagecoach. Conditions were perfect...no dust and lots of traction. I took a picture of this in case I died there. Straight on shot, no look uphill stuff. King of Jacumba Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted November 14, 2011 I was wondering where you ended up riding Bob! Looks like you picked a great place! Nice pics! That's the great thing about a local club- bill leading a group around lark, spaugh leading a group around coyote, me "leading" a Jacumba ride and I heard a rumor about a ride on a track In short- 4 great rides with people you can count on to show you the good stuff and bail you out if you need it Nice to have you join up Michael- we'll ride some day Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 559 Posted November 14, 2011 and I heard a rumor about a ride on a track Yes, there was a ride on a track. Super conditions and plenty of traction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beezzz 6 Posted November 14, 2011 Great photos Ken. My wife and I toured Otay Mt. on Sunday. Saw the sunset and rode back in the dark. That water crossing is calling you, Ken. Or maybe it is calling me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtdiva 0 Posted November 14, 2011 Well, seeing those pics makes me even more sorry we couldn't make this ride. Lucky for us, though, we did get wind of the "track day" option and took full advantage of that - it was alot closer to home and fit within our time constraints. Sounds like it was a great day had by all. Let us know when you do another Jacumba ride - it looks like my kinda stuff.... OK, I'm already regretting I said that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Uncle Champ 116 Posted November 16, 2011 Yea it's right between "oh sh-t" and "darn it they made it!". No really it looks like the south fork of stagecoach trail- which is really a road to a defunct mine -I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted November 16, 2011 Yea it's right between "oh sh-t" and "darn it they made it!". No really it looks like the south fork of stagecoach trail- which is really a road to a defunct mine -I think. That is more west than stagecoach- a loose climb coming up from the sandwash...speaking for myself, THAT climb was a piece of cake...the other one going up to the overlook seemed to never end We also did "red hill" trophy motored up on his pig, while I video'd from the bottom...I decided to make a run up from the bottom with no momentum...promptly dug a hole with my trials tire and sat there like a dope...surprised ken didn't get a pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wonderwoman 0 Posted November 16, 2011 You gotta love all of those natural rock sculptures out there. Looks like a great day, nice pics. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted November 16, 2011 ...surprised ken didn't get a pic No need. It's on video....if I can ever get time to learn the editing..... Your successful dead start climb is also on video. You'll notice more pics of my by Bob.....cuz he was just plain faster and able to breathe normally when stopped. And I agree....the pictured hill was okay....but nothing like the continual string of challenges on the way to the lookout. I ordered new forearms from BikeBandit this morning.

dirt dame 559 Posted November 19, 2011 That first video took me back to the exact same spot that I stalled the Husky, only it was really dry in July and it was in triple digit temperatures.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
