Thanks Randy! I'm planning on expanding the offerings for ADV products quite a bit, so stay tunned.

Thanks!

Edgar is the main guy now. I'm really lucky to have him running the school. I wouldn't have done the deal if he wasn't onboard.

Thanks! We have several expansion plans that I believe the entire ADV community will love - not only students, but establish riders as well

Thanks Kelly!

Hello all, It is with great pleasure that I'm announcing that starting today, Sedlak Offroad School, our homebrew off-road school for Adventure, Enduro, and especially kids off-road school, is under new ownership. I have acquired SOS and as of today, the new business name is SoCal Off-Road School (www.socaloffroadschool.com). While I'm the new owner behind the scenes, legendary Edgar Cota, the Mexican Tornado and the most recent Baja 1000 Iron Man Champion (which was really 1300 miles, 6 hours ahead of second place), is leading the company. We are 100% committed to the ADV community. While short term it's business as usual, we are fully committed to become the #1 ADV school not only in California, but in the entire US, if not the world. I don't have words to describe how excited I am to embark on this new journey. Let's make San Diego a center of ADV (Big Trail, Maxi Enduro, etc) for the world to see! I have some exciting plans for the future and I'm counting with your support. Stay tuned for exciting new events and opportunities in the months to come. Cheers!

Half day at Otay tomorrow
padu replied to Zubb's topic in Upcoming Organized or Promoted Rides and Events
I'm thinking about going for for some (wheelie) practice followed by a ride at Otay (valley, not the truck trail) this afternoon -
No need to look inside - does it have a thingy to put air? Yes: tubes, no: mousse 😁

Hello all! Thanks for creating this space Randy! Who's up for starting a roadbook navigation club in San Diego? The only requirement to join is the desire to learn and have fun. The idea is to meet periodically. One person would be in charge of creating the roadbook for the meet, and everyone else runs it. Then for the next meet someone else is in charge of the roadbook, rinse and repeat. Cheers!

If I had room in my garage....

CABDR with the DesertX, Section 8 - May 2023
padu posted a topic in 4 Days & Longer Trip Write-Ups and Photos
May 29, 2023 Bishop to Benton (reversed), 36 miles FIN! Section 8 is a short one. So short that we decided to take it in reverse on our way home day towards LA and San Diego. It's only 36 miles and it would be super fast, if not for an unexpected road closure due to the recent heavy rains. The Chidago Canyons were a pleasant and beautiful ride, and it was also nice to stop and check the ancient petroglyphs on the way to Bishop. After section 8 was finished, concluding our beautiful BDR trip, we stopped in Bishop for some great BBQ. Of course, to finish the trip with the full spirit of adventure, we had our first and only flat tire from all sections.
