Hey Ken, I am weather dependent. If it is cold a Sycamore Canyon ride may be in order. Summoning San Rider for directions. He is the local sherpa.
-
I'm in for Sunday Bsham. Was thinking about Orosco Ridge....
-
It's all over, nothing to see here. Thanks for joining in Mike! 😉 👍
-

I'm off to a late start. Maybe meet at noon? Jamul gas station formerly the Arco?
-
I will give this a shot tomorrow. Might be a dusting of snow but likely melted. I could see a bit around Coral Canyon and Cuyamaca areas today. Flexible on start time. Meet up in Jamul somewhere? Big bike friendly.
RIDE LEAVES AT NOON FROM JAMUL GAS AT INTERSECTION OF HWY 94 AND PROCTOR VALLEY RD.
-
Mission accomplished! 👍
FYI somebody knocked the entire gate down by the BP checkpoint so not a tight fit going through there now. Not sure why BLM land needs to be gated and locked in the first place?

Pio pico to Sycamore Canyon exit at BP checkpoint. Return NLT 3 pm today and will post up on return. Thanks!
-
Nevermind, we just rode it and it is open. Epic conditions! Ride it now before the next big rain since they will likely close it for winter.
-
Great ride! Thanks David! 🤗👍😉

Has anyone tried Cedar Creek Rd recently or know if the gates are open at Eagle Peak Rd or 3 Sisters Trailhead? FS 13S11.
Can't reach the Palomar ranger district because their office is closed. Thanks!
-
Can't wait. All packed already! 😄
-
Cool, I will call Cleveland Rangers before we try the turn from Julian otherwise it is a dead end. See ya at 10. John. (5ohThree)756-three three 53.

Sweet! I've been eager to try out Black Mountain! I was looking at Eagle Peak rd too. I rode it once to Cedar Creek Rd. It is 13S11. The gates are occasionally open if not too muddy but I can't find the road conditions on Cleveland NF Roads page. Have you ridden it? Pic:
-
I'd be in with a 10 am KSU. Maybe a detour up to Black Mtn? 👍
Coming from Jamul....
-
Just an FYI for anyone that is planning to ride Tecate' to Campo along the the border route:
There is a massive construction project underway replacing the border wall and putting in a concrete road next to the wall. It isn't a good time to ride there although they didn't stop me to say turn around. I had intended to go as far a Shockey Rd but couldn't find a way around the construction. Oh well, still better than work! 😉

16 minutes ago, Pokey151 said:I would check on black mtn tt closure. Every time it rains enough to saturate the ground they "close it down to prevent vehicles from damaging the road" that is what i was told last storm i went looking to ride there and spoke to the ranger
Here is the number of the ranger station
760 788-0250
If I can get a chain for my bike today, I'll join for tomorrow . I am also interested in a pinyon to fish creek ride soon. With the rain, it should be great
I'll do the border ride today and check the Cleveland NF Roads page when I get back for Black Mountain conditions.
-
Where would you be coming from? Can you recommend a meet-up spot? I usually head that way up just north past Sutherland Dam near the falls. There's a gate that is supposedly open at FS12S07. It's near the abandoned bridge as I recall.
-
I haven't ridden this route before but I believe it is fairly easy. Might wait until 12/30 if anybody wants to join in? I'm coming from Jamul so meet up in Ramona? I'm on a DR650 and not riding fast, just enjoying the ride. I'll probably do a border ride between Portreo and Camp this week too. It is usually really sandy so the rain today should give it more traction. I'm on vacation this week so very flexible....
-
I have only ridden part of this area with a DR650 but I want to see more easy trails including the summit viewpoint loop. I know some areas remain closed due to the Valley Fire. Anyone want to join in tomorrow 12/20? I usually ride alone but hoping one rider might join up around 10 am? Probably big bike friendly and slow is ok. I'm just interested in the scenery and exploring.
-
The light blue line circled is marked "no trespassing" on the north end off of 94 while traveling south towards Tecate Peak although I suspect it is an easement. It isn't marked at all from the other direction coming down from the peak going north so I only ride it in that direction. You never now when an angry homeowner with a gun will come out and hassle you. It happened to me before in another area so always wary.
-
Back home. That was a lot more fun than working! Conditions are perfect out there. 🤗

How about Descanso Junction meetup at 10? Best biscuits and gravy ever! That will keep us warm for a bit. I can stop by your place Mike at 9:30 if that works?
