Spaugh 1 Posted October 24, 2007 The boss says don't come to work until Thursday and I'm getting tired and depressed from watching the news all day. So if I can find a partner I'm going to head out on I8 east until I get out past the tecate divide\cleavland national forest and go ride. I'm thinking southern tip of anza borrego\desert tower area, or even drop down into the desert and ride around ocatillo area. Any one want to join me tomorrow morning? 619-990-0843 brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted October 24, 2007 Yowie! It's kinda late to post your ride. I have tomorrow off, but have errands in the morning. I agree though. I am depressed and tired with all the terrible goings on. I know I am alot luckier than many people who have lost their homes or have been displaced or injured in all this, so I can of course count my blessings in that way, but still I feel like I need to get away too. I might do something in the afternoon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am open to when and where, but sooner than later is better since I have to get back to reality tomorrow. Post up with a time that works for you or call me and let me know since I may not be online too often checking. All I need is a partner at this point and I'm off brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zina hey Zina, where are you guys gonna go ride\park your truck? I just put on a new MT16 and don't really wanna trash it on the pavement but would be down to cruise the park. canyon sin nombre to fish creek is fun in a truck, never been in ABDSP on my bike. There are pretty much endless possibilities in the park though. Another cool spot near ocatillo wells is called "the slot" it goes through cool canyons then a long steep drop then 5 miles or so of high speed trail. Let me know, I need riding partners for this weekend. It will be my birthday ride! brad Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you're not carting anybody in your truck we could double-up and go find something. I didn't make it up to the Fish Creek area -- just got as far as the Mud Caves, which were pretty cool. I've got the Dunlop 606s so I'd also like to stay on dirt as much as possible (or completely). Anybody else who wants to ride should join us. It'll sort of be my birthday-ish ride too (one day early)! Zina Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll call you sometime today, I think your number is on the inkopah post and we can setup a time and place then post up here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaugh 1 Posted October 27, 2007 We are going to meet out at Inkopah at the BLM board again at 10AM ready to ride at 10:15 if anyone wants to join. We are going to hit the rest of the trails on the north side that head north east into the southern tip of AB and then maybe drop down to ocatillo and explore. There are some technical spots (old stage coach roads on cliffs) that I want to check out and sand\silt in the desert so knobbies are highly recommended. A plated bike will be necessary to drop down the 8 into the dez and enter the park. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have Sunday and Monday off as well, and will get some riding in somewhere, sometime this weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
piratemonkey 0 Posted October 28, 2007 We had a long day of investigating a variety of trails. Brad and I loaded up the truck in the dark while Joe rode home. We got what we asked for: an adventurous ride for our birthday (technically today). Many thanks to Brad and Joe for helping me with my AnemicPigBike when needed.
