Goofy Footer 539 Posted October 21, 2012 Halloween Hangover nOOb Ride - Nov 4, 2012 tntmo and I would like to organize another nOOb ride. If you're new to ridingBring your family and friends, lets make this a fun day! Meet at Packards Coffee Shop in Ramona at 8:30 and kickstands UP and bikes Rolling at 9:00! Terrain: Fire-roads. All two track jeep trails. A 2wd vehicle with fair ground clearance can drive all these trails. There may be a water crossing along Boulder Creek Rd. We will cross this appropriately. Huge Tip: Roll through and you can make it. Do not hit the throttle. I am willing to help ride or walk bikes across if needed. Pace: Beginner friendly (I'll most likely be riding a TW200 so I won't be going all that fast) Route: Starting in Ramona we will head through Black Canyon towards Mesa Grande, take Mesa Grande towards Santa Isabel and then to Julian. From Julian we shall ride south along Boulder Creek and Vejas Grade into Alpine for lunch at Alpine Brewery. From there, we can reverse track back (and take the Cedar Creek Connector if open to Eagle Peak) north. I WILL POST GPS ROUTES Groups: The last nOOb ride had a great turnout. With another big turnout, we'll split into Two Groups: Fast and Casual. tntmo and I will be leading and sweeping the Casual Group. The Ride: pics stolen from Randy's recent ride report The Brewery: Post Up if you're interested or have Any questions. tntmo and I look forward to seeing YOU on the trail!

tntmo 898 Posted October 21, 2012 My wife will be riding once again, I'm trying my best to get her involved in dual sport riding. Ladies, get out here and make her feel welcome! This should be a nice beginner ride. I will be on my supermoto once again, so the terrain is not challenging but the scenery will be nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KLR_688 0 Posted October 23, 2012 Man I **SO** want to go on this ride. I've been waiting for the perfect ride to meet some of you fellow riders.

Had to deal with a broken foot for the last few months. Does anyone have a mileage estimate for the route though? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Afry 1 Posted October 24, 2012 Guessing 60ish - you can get gas in Santa Ysabel or at the the end of Boulder Creek in Descanso before we hit Viejas Grade Rd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
