Bumpy roads are fine but after 3 miles of washboard I'll turn around. My back can't take it.

I was looking at Google Earth and there's some interesting dirt roads around Canon Manteca in the foothills 16 km SE of Tecate. They aren't shown on Google Maps though. Has anyone ridden that area?

I'd be in for Sunday May 26th, but not interested in going to the coast. I've been there many times. Looking for canyon or mountain roads. Trying to stay away from big cities too.

I'm on a DR650. Intermediate off-road skills. Expert level on-road. I like dirt roads or crumbling asphalt. Washboard and gravel don't really appeal to me. I should have put this thread in "Informal Rides". Sorry.

I'm interested in doing some light dual sport riding around Tecate. I need a riding buddy or small group though. Is anyone interested in exploring the area? I live in Jamul right off Hwy 94 and Honey Springs rd so it's a good meet-up spot near the border if we get some riders interested. Does anyone know some easy and scenic routes in that area? Thanks!
