I'll be there in my Jeep as long as I'm not too shot out from riding my bike there today.

OK maybe next time

Your plated right? Want to ride out of Pine Valley? I'm thinking about going out to Miners road and Deer Park for a morning ride. Tomorrow at 9 would be best but I could do Sunday if you can't go tomorrow. It will be an easy ride and easy pace.

I'll be there in the Jeep. Blue CJ-5

It's super easy. Clear instructions come with the kit for $25. I had to buy a spring kit for the secondaries because It is on a really small motor.

I just rode out Pine Creek to check the gates. It was nice and cool with puddles everywhere and the creek was running. Miners Road was closed and Deer Park was still open but a tree fell during the last storm and complete blocked the rode about a mile in. I'm going to contact the Forest Service to ask them if I can remove it, If I can find there contact info.

FS just called and said they removed the tree and Deer Park is open again

I just ran down to the Forest Service Descanso office. They told me that they can't give me permission to do it but they would do it for me... maybe today!

I had a customers bike that was doing the same thing. I cleaned the tank, petcock, carb, and fresh gas but I didn't clean the air cleaner because he said he just did it and it looked fresh. Long story short, I decided to clean it anyway and found out that he had over oiled it and it wasn't getting enough air.

I plan on taking the Jeep!

I bet a lot of you know. 216 miles on day one. Damn I miss those rides.

The first year that I did the Dash I used the roll chart only and did fine. The 2nd year I was new to GPS and got a little lost, that's why I got 216 miles instead of 204. I've done it 3 times so far and would love to do it again next year... hint hint!

Yep, those were sooo much fun

Having a plated dirt bike I can ride a lot of these places anyway. We don't need more desert areas. Some of this is private property and some is state land. I like Descanso the best.

Are we going to have a Desert Dash this coming February?

I am good at changing tires so I would be glad to run sweep

That was more of a 4 wheel drive event but we usually do one around this time of year with this website. Stay tuned!

I was on the Sky Valley/ Espinoza loop on Saturday to do trail maintenance. There was a lot of mud but nothing too bad. Right now the Forest Service is paying Corral Canyon OHV $30 per hour per person for volunteers and the State is matching that times 4. I would guess there were about 50 people that showed up, for 4 hours each. $150 per hour X 4 hours X 50 people = $30,000 for the park. It was a great day.

This was a great ride! I would like to spend a weekend camping out there some time

My weedeater has me feeling really beat but I think I am going to make it. They are selling Mexican food at the Desert View Tower on Saturday, I might have to stop for lunch.

Anyone interested in riding the Stagecoach Trail on Sunday 3-26? Meet across the street from the Jacumba gas station in the empty parking lot with enough time to prep your bike for a 10:00 departure. We will ride the Stagecoach Trail to Mountain Spring and then do a little exploring behind Table Mountain. This is a historic wagon road with good photo ops. This ride is recommended for intermediate riders on skinny bikes. I will cross post to Facebook.

Oh the memories. I took my GSXR 1000 off-road a couple times and it was tough. One of the times I had a girl on the back and she was like a backpack, I remember thinking "is this chick even sitting on the seat"
