orange UP 0 Posted January 28, 2014 Hello, new guy on here from Escondido. I have spent plenty of time bombing around out in the dirt on various machines/contraptions. I purchased a KTM 690 Enduro R about 8-9 months ago. I commute on it and then swap the tires out, if necessary, and hit the dirt whenever I get a chance. I've explored/ridden most of the dirt/fire roads near Ramona, Santa Ysabel, and Palomar Mountain. If the dirt is semi packed I'll rock it with confidence, not going to be the fastest though. If it has deep sand, I just recently started growing those legs. Looking for adventure and to see some of the other areas around here that a guy can't safely do by himself. Can't wait to link up and ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the club...seems like local rides are North County Coastal, North County Ramona, East County or SouthCounty Chula Vista Not sure about the capabilities of you and the bike, but the South County route might be fun (not sure if it's worth the ride) North county coastal is probably a bit much for that big of a bike... Join up on a noob ride; I try to set them up with an easy start, and gradually get tougher...seems to work See you on a ride, or better yet, at the dash Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I might be able to swing that, depends on wife's February class schedule. If it is all day, what kind of range am I going to need? My bike seems to get about 120 miles when gettin it, and around 150-160 takin it easy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
