kato 54 Posted December 28, 2012 Well thank you all for the great info here, after flipping through many forum pages I chose Black Canyon Road as my first trip on my new-to-me 97klr. Bought the bike about a month ago and took my time to customize a few things to my liking and go over everything thoroughly before taking it out anywhere. Haven't been riding in about 10 years also and I'm fairly new to dirt.. Left SD (San Carlos area) @8am and drove through ElCajon (didn't feel like any freeway at all) and up Wildcat canyon to Ramona, from there I dropped 10psi and off i went through Black Canyon and a few trails around the area. I was on the dirt from about 9am until 11 and didn't see one person. None. Felt like a real solo ride. My plan was to head back through the 79 but these 10/12 miles were so much fun that when I hit Mesa Grande I turned around and went back the way I came. The terrain had changed from damp to dryer so it was nice having a different dirt feel on the way down. made it back home by noon. Well that's it I guess, thanks again and I hope to be able to join a group ride soon enough. and a few pics to make this newb post a tad more official!
