stuckthrottle 1 Posted January 28, 2018 Is there anywhere near San Diego that has single track through trees or wooded areas? I know there are some trails by Laguna Hanson in Baja, but looking for something closer. Maybe around pine valley? Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bp619 104 Posted January 28, 2018 Are u looking for flowy stuff or slower rocky stuff, pinevalley has some but not much flow mostly hill climbs and some obstacles, mccain depending on where you go has lots of flow to it but no woods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tvscum 43 Posted January 28, 2018 Idyllwild has some but it's fire road through the forest. San Jacinto Ridge Truck Trail, Bee Canyon Trail (not many trees), Rouse Hill Rd. thru Thomas Mtn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stuckthrottle 1 Posted January 29, 2018 I know pine valley/corral canyon and McCain Valley but looking for more tree riding. Where in Tecate should I look? Thank you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 406 Posted January 29, 2018 in our terrain it will be hard to ride full forested areas PNW and NW style stuff, but you can and will find mixed sections of Oak groves and pines in sections, bothlocal and south of the border. You just need to exploit the opportunity and swirl around in those groves --instead of plowing straight through like most folks do. all those trees and bushes are great when taken as corner cones and never connected in a straight line.

stuckthrottle 1 Posted January 29, 2018 Agreed. Was just looking for something I might've missed. I had a bad wreck almost a year ago and am itching to get back on my bike but I wan't to try to stay away from the high speed desert stuff. Thanks for the tips.

PastaPilot 17 Posted January 30, 2018 If you don't mind the drive I'll take you into the Sierras.. I've ridden 70 miles of deeply forested ST in a day (~80 miles total) and never got above 3rd gear. I haven't ridden much this past year and need to get a leg over the bike again. I would like to get up there relatively soon the low and mid elevation trails are still open.

robertaccio 406 Posted February 2, 2018 this about 15mins south of the border on the outskirts of tecate, this was part of the race course, we have run this trail section in both directions at various times. there are a few areas in this valley that are oak groves.
