KTMrad 508 Posted October 17, 2005 From Ocotillo Wells, the ride continued into Anza Borrego State Park through some great scenery, washes and canyons....... Inspiration Point The group at Inspiration Point when we were doing Prerunning for the ride, L to R - Mad Mike (R100GS), Lorrac (WR426), Randy (KTM 640), Ted's bike in background - XR650R Lorrac Mad Mike As we rode through this wash, we came to a spot where the wash was completely blocked by Tumbleweeds......it must've gotten pretty windy out there, we've never seen anything like this before !! We had to ride up out of the wash and ride the trail on top of the ridge along the wash.......we came to this newly formed sand dune, it was too soft to make it across. My 640 standing upright in the deep sand. Most people ate an early lunch in Borrego Springs, then after some neat trails over some mountains and through some deep sand washes. The Culp Valley and Jasper Trail section is in the worst condition I've seen it ever, with the sand being very deep. Later, we got to the Pinyon Mountain trail heading towards the "Squeeze and the Dropoff". During Prerunning, going through the Squeeze Saturday night, a couple of hundred people at the Raffle with all proceeds benefiting the Cal-Diego Paralyzed Veteran's Association. The specs in the photo are from sand particles in the air, since the wind really picked up Saturday night..... This is the first time San Diego Adventure Riders hosted the ride, which had 21 paid entries. This ride has historically had an average of about 20 riders over the last few years.
