Covered in Dust 162 Posted September 8, 2016 That route is going to take some time. You might want to get an early start unless you don't mind riding and setting up camp in the dark. CiD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 102 Posted September 8, 2016 Yup earliest i can leave is 4ish but was planning on basically getting up to peak right at sunset. But preferred time would be like little before 2 if someone haven't done route before to take a break or 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsham 9 Posted September 8, 2016 I am interested in this. If able to make it could meet when you pass through Ramona. Any fees, permits, passes, etc required for camping up there? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted September 8, 2016 I've done this route a couple times. Hauling the mail I can make it to Anza in 1.5 hours from Ramona. Stop for gas and supplies (i.e. beer) and it's another solid 45 minutes to an hour for the peak. Cruise speeds will be a 4+ hour tour from Ramona. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dert428 0 Posted September 9, 2016 Thanks for the info. I have some new led lights I want to try out. I'm pretty sure it's blm land so just adventure pass required. Camp sights are first come first serve.Someone please correct me if I'm wrong Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 102 Posted September 9, 2016 Your correct but probably forest land not blm adventure pass needed, when ive been on bikes they only care if 1 bike has one atleast when stopped me, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oracle 195 Posted September 9, 2016 Wish I could join ya, but with my schedule, I have to plan ---- out in advance. There are a couple nice spots to camp up there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bsham 9 Posted September 9, 2016 I'm out ... just not enough time to get my stuff together for a camping ride. FYI... Monday evening this week, on the trail that starts at Warner Springs, roughly 6 PM and within a mile past where the pavement ends ... Came around a corner and found myself within 40 feet of three very large cats on the road. I figured they were close to 200 lbs each even though they're not supposed to be that big. I've seen a bunch over the years ... always solo ... never even half this size ... and never this orange looking. It was pretty cool! Caused me to pick up the pace of my ride for some reason. Sounds like you'll be going through that area about the same time tomorrow... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
