X-country-Rider 0 Posted January 6, 2013 I've heard of this trail and came across it reading Dirtopia. What can you guys tell me about this dirt patch? Its in my neighborhood and want to check it out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
racerbill 0 Posted January 6, 2013 Anderson truck trail, on the West End, is a major Mountain biking destination. Although it is occasionally ridden by dirt bikes they're definitely not a welcome sight out there. This trail is maintained and groomed by mountain bikers for their use. Now that I've probably alienated half of you meet me there at 9 o'clock tomorrow at the bridge and we will ride up the trail On our mountain bikes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TNT 0 Posted January 6, 2013 I have come across MTN bike riders on this trail and have stopped to talk to may of them - All good vibes so far - Pay attenetion as they haul the mail coming down - LOOK WAY AHEAD and pull over for them - I wouldnt even think of riding this on weekends - you can get an idea of how many people are out by the number of cars under bridge - tread lightly and dont hammer their jumps or cut corners- Im thinking of doing more of this at night with my new BD squadron LED.

bikeslut 1 Posted January 6, 2013 As another Alpine local, I agree with Bill on all counts...even "it's legal" seems to be according to which Sheriff responds to the call (and the neighbors MAY call) The top section has some very fun sections for bicycles (referred to as world cup) if you know where to look As far as an adventure bike riding Anderson...why? It is barely wide enough, you can count on bicyclists out there and it takes about 15 minutes total if I remember correctly Anyway- if you go anyway, be safe to you and others. The penalty for going off the trail towards the lake is bad enough on a bicycle- on a motorcycle, it would be terrible To put it another way- when I lived in north park, I drove out to Alpine each Tuesday to ride my mountain bike on Anderson...I've lived here 8 years and have never bothered to ride a motorcycle there Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rowdzilla 0 Posted January 6, 2013 im going close to 30mph on my downhill bike on some sections of this trail.... i've yet to see a motorcycle on the trail sametime as me. as i ride both, i don't care as long as we dont crash into each other. (personally i think it is the xc guys who would be pissy about it) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted January 6, 2013 Good distinction- the XC guys get tweaked @ the downhill guys, who get tweaked @ the MC guys, who get tweaked @ the quads, who get tweaked @ the jeeps....and if we're all not careful, the greenies divide and conquer one group @ a time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suspenders 43 Posted September 30, 2014 We started riding the trail 10 or 15yrs ago. No stinking mountain bikers riding it then. Just kidding! Mountain bikers are our friends. Been years since I have ridden it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suspenders 43 Posted October 1, 2014 The trail I was talking about starts in Peutz valley road. It leads to Anderson truck trail. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwood 11 Posted October 1, 2014 The trail I was talking about starts in Peutz valley road. It leads to Anderson truck trail. You might know a different route. A little earlier this year I came down Anderson TT trying to connect to Peutz Vly. It was a nasty eat your jeep deep rutted road to a now dead end. It looks like the guy who bought the property at the top of the pavement off Peutz Vly. Rd. double fenced the access out. It was a tough ride back out.

350thumper 336 Posted October 1, 2014 Rode out thru anderson tt down and all around ..saw the lake was real dry .dryest ive ever seen it. Came past some shady trees .. saw a rolled white SUV down the cliff ... had to check out the Wall of BOFUS, it was shady there so i laid down and took a nap. . it was so quiet and peaceful... On one side of the wall theres no cell reception, on the Peutz side there is.. i didnt go all the way to the road because i didnt want to hit aspbault ..but could clearly see it. Not sure if theres access or not.. i remember about a year or two ago my dual sport buddy pointed the exit out.. i got up from my snooze and rode back up and around. Found some awesome hill climbs and practiced wheelies and stuff . Im gonna go back and check out some of the other roads back in there when i get time.. that place has some old dirt trails . its neat to be so far out there and still be close to town... I was so glad to have a plate on my bike just rippin round the fire road legally.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted October 1, 2014 All- the TOP of ATT starts on Anderson Truck Trail off Victoria in Alpine (East Victoria loops into West Victoria). It's on the North side of the loop. Starts out paved, then a wide dirt road. At some point you veer left and the trail gets progressively tougher. Up near the top are two different sections of some great mountain bike trails.Down near the end of the main trail, a landowner built a large steel fence. You'll have to backtrack, and head up off the main trail, to bypass the fence...that will lead you to Peutz Valley Road which ends at Alpine Blvd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
