Any time, I'd even throw in a beer and a steak at the end of the day. It looks kinda like this ride... I will post this one up in the "planning a ride" section and see if I can get any other takers.

dstss 27 Posted January 11, 2013 As a fellow Yuman, welcome to the club. This is a good club with a lot of outstanding people. I recognize a lot of the places on your video an am looking forward to going along on your 100 mile loop some time soon. I've got a few loops around here myself, but I know you can ride around Yuma a long time and still find new trails you haven't been on before. Cool video by the way.

I've got a few loops around here myself, but I know you can ride around Yuma a long time and still find new trails you haven't been on before. Cool video by the way. I'm close to 32nd and Araby Rd. I basically ride into the foothills, under 8, past the hill with the radio towers, into North Foothills, Past the concrete plant (maybe out to Welton for lunch) North on 95 to the little blue church just before Adair Park Rd, follow road to Reflector hill, then cut straight back on the ridge top to 95 and home again. Join in anytime. Do you know how to get from Lagoona Dam Rd out to Martinez Lake? I'd like to add that to my regular rotation. I have done it before but don't know all the turns.

Yuma Adam 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Hey Adam -Glad to see you here. I recognize Matt and my bike in the start of your video.But I forgot where that was ?????????? . :blush:/> See you have a 690 -Still got the 950 ? Wr ? later Ken I only knew California City. I was just a tag along that weekend!! So here's the list I do still have the 990 but its in Ontario The WR got new lowered suspension and wheels and turned into a flat track bike The 690 is a bit of a handful here, mostly because the steering stop is so aggressive but it's a good compromise to having a 990 and a 450. Let me know if your planning anything interesting, I'm thinking about heading back to Palomar Observatory soon with my Riding Buddy Dave but it will be an all street ride (my FJR 1300 and his 990 SMT) Maybe loop out through San Bernardino (sp?) or something with a mandatory ride through Julian.

Yuma Adam 0 Posted January 11, 2013 Thanks EVERYONE for the welcomes and I'm glad you liked my little videos. Aside from riding and wrenching I do enjoy a little editing. Shoot me a pm if you have a bunch of video or pics from some SDAR rides and I can try and put something together if you like. I'm always up for a ride so let me know, I'll charge up the GOPRO!! Adam.

Yuma Adam 0 Posted January 11, 2013 You're too funny, at least I'm on vacation so I'm flexible. My wife understands, when I don't go riding I get grumpy, but in all fairness I don't leave her at home with 3 kids!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dstss 27 Posted January 12, 2013 My house backs up to the Fortuna wash over by 48th and Foothills. I have a loop that cuts thru the north end of the footills by the concrete plant and hugs the mountain on the east side along side the railroad tracks. Its technical and rocky but fun. I'v also taken that ridge road by Adair Park rd all the way to Mittry, cut over to Imperial Dam, then jump on some old trails by Senators following the All American canal, all the way to Pichaco. That loop is 150 miles about 80% dirt. Look forward to a ride soon. Anyone who has ridden with me, knows at some point in the ride we will be lost. But I think that's part of the fun.
