Also, shameless plug and disclaimer, I'm the owner of SoCal Off-road School. We offer ADV and Enduro classes. They are held on private property, and the trails are super fun. -

McCain is not easy, unless we are talking about main road only. Up north, Nate Harrison Road going up to Palomar Mountain is one of my favorites. If you are ok with sand, there are a couple of nice desert tracks near Borrego Springs and Anza-Borrego desert. Boulder Creek Road is also a great option, as Otay Mountain Truck Trail. Take a look at Old gpsKevin's website. It has a lot of stuff, and some still relevant for San Diego area https://sites.google.com/site/gpskevin/san-diego-county-adventure-motorcycle-gps-map -

"Learn on Trail" - California BDR Sections 1-3
padu posted a topic in Upcoming Organized or Promoted Rides and Events
For the first time in the history of Sedlak/SoCal Off-Road School, we are starting to provide tours. Our first one will be the SoCal BDR Sections 1-3. What's different? Learn on Trail - we stop at "lesson spots" and instead of praying everyone makes the other side, we stop, teach the fundamentals and techniques and help you succeed Support truck - we carry your load, you ride light Catered food We have 2 groups: beginner (easy alternates), and regular. We only have one last spot for beginner group, but you guys are not beginners! We leave on a Friday, and back on Monday - easy to justify PTO, or "get sick".

padu replied to padu's topic in Upcoming Organized or Promoted Rides and Events
Quick update, we changed locations. For this class only, we will have our class in Plaster City. So. if you want to learn the secrets of sand riding from the Baja 1000 Iron Man champ, this class is for you. -

I love that location! Not too far from the desert if we want to adventure that way. -
Best spot - son to learn to ride dirt bike (San Diego County)
padu replied to E-motoDad's topic in Open Discussion
In addition to what has been said, Pala (Fox Raceway) has a large flat area and some trails for when he's ready. Also, if you need any help training him (enduro or motocross), we can help SoCal Off-Road School
