Sunday 8/15 Run
Ralphie Boy replied to Ralphie Boy's topic in 1 to 3 Day Ride Write-Ups, Stories and Photos
Here's what I have. -
Thanks to all for a great ride. Thanks especially to DD for leading the ride, and taking out 2 pesky Kawi 250's at once. Way to take one (two) for the team. From Poway back to Poway I put in 210 miles, had to brave the freeway w/my 450 for the last 20 miles because I couldn't bear anymore seat time. I will post some pics soon. RB

Is anyone up for a ride somewhere in the North County 8/15? I would prefer mostly dirt, but any seat time would be great. RIDE UPDATE: Ride Sunday August 15 Leave from Shell Gas Station at Via Rancho and 15(East side next to Chevron) promptly at 7am Onto Carl's Jr in Fallbrook Leave promptly at 8 a.m. and ride to Corona Have enough gas, food/snacks and water for 70ish miles of riding Carl's Jr in Fallbrook (GOOGLE MAPS LINK HERE) and hitting the road early (8am worked for us). I'd probably skip Margarita Peak, as well as lunch at Hell's Kitchen(maybe hit it on the way back instead) in the interest of time. Here's the general route in Google maps: LINK HERE GPS File: LINK HERE So far: Ralphie Boy DS Dig Dug ADV Steel Rain DS Bruce Zenosan Main Block Head SocalCPA

Aye Aye. If there's any last minute stragglers, the first post has a quick thumbnail sketch. See you at 7am. -

WOW, that looks painful. I am going to cancel the Deer Springs stop then. -

How about East side next to the Chevron? I was hoping to gas up at Chevron anyway. Thanks for the heads up I didn't know there were two Shell Stations at that exit. I don't get out much:) -

I know the spot. No problem for me. If you know the spot let's meet there at 7:15 and stage for 5min. It's getting near ride time let's not make too many more changes. I don't want to screw anyone else up. -

Well I am certainly confused. I guess we could meet at the Shell station at 7 then ride up to Gopher canyon Park and Ride at 7:15 to pick up the Hidden Meadows crowd and see if we can still meet Doug in Fallbrook by 8. By the way - Via Rancho was Called Bear Valley Pkwy in my day. (Old school jargon) I suggest we wait no longer than 10 minutes for stragglers, otherwise we will become stragglers ourselves. Anybody concur? I'm in. -

Did you mean Twin Oaks and 78, or Twin Oaks up by Gopher Canyon and the 15? -

I will probably be leaving Escondido around 7am. How about the Shell station (I think it is a Shell) on Bear Valley Pkwy & I-15 across from North County Mall? We can decide whether to do the Twin oaks Valley route or slab it depending on how prompt we can leave. Just to make sure, you meant Via Rancho exit off of the 15. I'm in for 7am at the Shell. -

It's your ride, sounds like a good route. I'd suggest meeting at Carl's Jr in Fallbrook (GOOGLE MAPS LINK HERE) and hitting the road early (8am worked for us). I'd probably skip Margarita Peak, as well as lunch at Hell's Kitchen(maybe hit it on the way back instead) in the interest of time. Here's the general route in Google maps: LINK HERE GPS File: LINK HERE Let me know if that's what you're thinking about. Sounds great to me. Thanks for all of the planning. 8am Carl's Jr in Fallbrook. Are we taking asphalt back, different trails or back tracking? -

Where are you coming from and what do you want to check out? The other question is how much time to people have? There are really two rides you can do up here in North County. The Ramona Loop: Another Big Bike Ride - Toro Peak and the Fallbrook to Corona Ride that are all-day type rides. Everything else up here is shorter stuff (Nate Harrison - 8 miles long, etc) and has a bit of pavement thrown in. Take a look and see which interests you and we can come up with a meeting place/time and go from there. I'm in for the Fallbrook to Corona Ride. I'm coming from Poway, do you want to meet before Fallbrook like Esc. or somewhere in San Marcos? Looks like there's some fun back roads to Fallbrook on the East side of Pendelton. -

Hey there BS or DD, Do you have any ideas for start time and location? I will be dual sporting the whole way so I can meet anywhere. -

Ralphie Boy replied to Ralphie Boy's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
Since I'm following and don't know the area, tell me when and where. Beggars can't be choosers. And while your at it, make it a ride that will accomodate your 950. I'll be happy just seeing some new terrain. -

Ralphie Boy replied to Ralphie Boy's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
were you thinking of doing this ride at night? Or, baking during the day? Baking sounds so negative. How about saute? (Translated=day ride.)I thought Palomar area might be cooler, but either way we could start out early and as long as we keep moving it shouldn't be too bad. Okay, I just looked at the weather on Sat and it's going to hit 110 in OW, that's baking. Palomar is going to be 95, would you mind leading a ride around there? -

Ralphie Boy replied to Ralphie Boy's topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
I can lead the ride out S2 to Blair Valley, Diablo Drop-Off, Split Mountain, Split Mountain Road, Ocotillo Wells. or, If someone else would like to lead a ride in the Palomar Mountain Area I would be happy to follow. I don't know any trails other than around Ocotillo Wells and wouldn't mind exploring new territory other than OW. -

Wow, What a brain donor ! ! ! I just realized I will be riding the Midnight Madness Bike (bicycle) Ride the night before and can't make my own Run on the 22nd. Can we ride the 15th instead? Same everything else. -

How about around Palomar area? or S2 to Split Mountain Road on dirt. That's fun too. or. . . . -

Had a great time, good trails, good people. The soreness is setting in now though. Here's what I had on my camera. I'm in for a North County ride in a couple weeks if anyone else is in. -

Where exactly is Pine Valley Cul de Sac (yes, yes, in Pine Valley, but specifically)? I looked on Google maps and was not sure. Does Majors get upset if you park there? I'll be in a Honda Pilot with a rack in the receiver. -

I dislike towing my bike to the ride, but it is a great option for when you are going from Poway to Pine Valley. On the Freeway it takes me about an hour (and I have a heavy right foot), on the DRZ it takes even longer (and fists are made of ham). Doing the whole route from my house offroad is a project I am still working on. If you want to ride share we could meet at the Sabre Springs/Ted Williams Parkway HOV lot. PM me if interested. Thank you for the offer, I think I'll truck myself in the first ride. I like the sound of parking outside and taking the short trip in to the meet spot. See you in the crack of the a.m. on Sunday. -

Are there any more specifics for the ride on Sunday? i.e. When? Where? . . . . This would be my first ride. Do most people trailer to the meeting area? I'll be coming from Poway. Thanks for the info.
