If there is a record for cancelled rides... I agree, for us old retired guys one days the same as the next and no need to ride in bad conditions if we don't have to. Let's try again for Tuesday?

Goofy Footer 539 Posted December 1, 2011 Damn. I was hoping the wind would help to clear the trial of CID's dust trail so I wouldn't have to spend the day eating it. If anybody reads this I'm looking to ride Thurs or Fri, the only time I can ride this week.= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 559 Posted December 1, 2011 It's still really still up in North County as of this moment, and it looks like it even rained a little during the night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Riggerdan 147 Posted December 1, 2011 It's still really still up in North County as of this moment, and it looks like it even rained a little during the night. Not sure what time it was but woke up to a massive hail storm an inch or two landed and sounded like a freight train - all melted this morning and very wet here, if the winds do pick up at least the fire danger will minimal......

Driss 0 Posted December 1, 2011 I just checked the weather Channel it's showing 25mph wind in borrego springs right now which means a gust of about 40mph,last night I was in LAX the wind was blowing so hard I was having a hard time controlling my truck.Having said that wind doesn't bother me much on a Light bike especially riding offroad at 40mph average speeds but I have riden canyons on my old 1200GS and it was challenging but after I put a damper on the bike much easier to handle the monster especially in the sand. God only knows how much I wanted to go riding but we do this for fun and if it's going to be miserable because of weather I agree with the group why bother. 1322755267[/url]' post='116667']Where are this winds.....its dead still in Jamul.........): Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagstr 287 Posted December 7, 2011 Driss, There could be riding Thursday. We will know Wednesday. Definitely a DRZ type ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael15 1 Posted December 7, 2011 Driss, There could be riding Thursday. We will know Wednesday. Definitely a DRZ type ride. Is this ride open to anyone? I might be able to take a day off work!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 287 Posted December 7, 2011 Michael & Driss, This thread is a week old. Time will tell if anything is happening Thursday. Won't know until Wednesday PM These rides are open to anyone willing to take responsibility for themselves in terms of carrying tools and spares in addition to accepting the challenges of deep sand and rocky two track. Last week was more of a hard schedule, this is less defined. I will check back Wednesday PM. Sorry I can't be more definite. If I go it probably won't be the described area from Dec. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael15 1 Posted December 7, 2011 Thanks! I definitely carry tools and spares for my bike...now actually knowing how to use them all effectively....I might need a pointer or two... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
