Riggerdan

I think it would take a good week to type the story behind how I found (and fell in love with) Jamul.......... Moving from 56th Street & 9th ave in NYC to the dirt rural roads of jamul has been nothing but a treat Unfortunately it was a very difficult adjustment for my wife (who finally got her drivers license @ 40) as theres not to many taxi's and subways in this neck of the woods....but I tightened up the grip and twisted her arm a little harder.......(: - obviously she has grown to love it as well If you are familiar with this type of environment / living the adjustment period I assume would differ theres lots and lots of land out here, and have found the locals to be very friendly, when it come to food & social spots it's not NYC but then again i'm no Paul Bowers..... its a 30 mile round trip for me to be social and eat - so thats a lot of driving when you want to loosen up I would be more then happy to take you for a little tour of whats happening around here, it would take about 3 minutes to see the town ....and 3 hours to see some of the trails so getting that feeling I could go on forever - I will try to sum up the Jamulian experience I always said there were only 2 things that concerned me Fire and Rattlesnakes - well now i'm used to the rattle snakes and petrified at the thought of fire The summers are HOT really HOT and the winters are absolutely beautiful and everything in-between is just amazing living at 2500'ish thats one thing I would take into consideration in hind sight I probably get another 50+ days of sunshine in the spring as the town (and the rest of SD) will sit in the marine layer its been 8 years and my only regret was not doing it sooner Good luck with your search and don't tell anybody else about Jamul.............(: - it truly is a gem

Rigged. I had nothing to do with it....................

Beautiful pictures......... would love to put a trip like that on the radar

Well that just brought a BIG smile to my face............ - Looking forward to it

I dont think he was crossing into the other lane, looks like the impact of the deer is shooting him in that direction either way - not fun

that road is practical paved from TT they have graded it and paved it a few months ago (maybe not paved) but what ever they do with some tar and pebbles i think it would be no problem with a car........... not to far away if you need help........(:

lyons valley, mother grundy, lawson valley.....all great riding can eaisly be 50/50 dirt road if you are interested in a little neighborhood ride let me know, I have off all this week (as weekdays are best) we can do a casual noob friendly ride, favoring the early mornings is smart....jamul heats up pretty quick these days little dry and slippery in some areas, but still very scenic and enjoyable

you guys are just bad to the bone..............

Havent been on the bike in a while... Was thinking about getting a few hours in Monday morning 7/16 relaxed pace, possibly building up to a moderate pace Parking in Pine Valley / off the 8 0800 start back before it gets to hot

I know there are more to choose from... thought this was a pretty good video - they make the wheelies look so easy..............

BS just read your post I think the run on bear valley to kernan is a 30 min to 45 min ride........ I think....... I passed out last night so sorry for delay but look forward to riding

I should be rolling by 0800 from pine valley give or take a few minutes - if all goes well should make the cross roads by 8:45ish silver jeep / orange bike

don't mind meeting earlier if that helps a connection at the cross roads I'd like to ride from pine valley to loosen up a little it's been unfortunately way to long considering majors diner for some pre ride coffee / b-fast

I would like to make it down there and help represent.... what do you think the time frame would be...?

Thinking that technology is not all that far away.... I read this pretty cool article on the plane the other day about a good friend of mine Michio Kaku pretty interesting outlook on future tech http://www.americanw...m/article-36511

Great ride yesterday with SDAR Heres a few shots from the 250 monument , nice to meet and ride with some new faces...... Thanks Ken for getting the clearance from the BP to continue our ride through to Marron Valley Rd look forward to doing it again..... The back of Lawson valley with CL300APT A brief run through some tighter trails and he was able to take home some "minor" superficial Jamulian wounds on the new 400 Great riding and welcome to the club.......

http://www.10news.co...557/detail.html Just read this, hope he's OK and has a speedy recovery, I know they don't seem to wear as much protective gear as they should

Good stuff Brad Great riding - Great pictures..................

Looking forward to the trip report..............

Dave Did you get a chance to drive around the other side....?

Could not have said it better..... looks like good times - sorry I missed

Great shots Dave BIG country up there, I can see how that lawn kept you busy for a few days... looks like you had a great time and a little weather to go with it

I might be able to sneak out for an hour or so........ and do a portion of the Jamul segment if thats still on your radar? PM if you have any plans to head out this way

That 2 posts that I have seen that front wheel off the ground.................. Nice pictures Curtis, captured very well - sorry I missed that one

Congratulations on a beautiful bike................
