bikeslut 1 Posted February 15, 2014 I am going riding... I think Axel wants an easy ride; one where he can cruise without too many obstacles Lark...oak tree 8 am- no obstacles No matter which, I'll probably show up early, and blast a few fast trails, then settle down to ride with him I would call this "small bike novice friendly", but probably a bit much for a true dirt n00b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orange UP 0 Posted February 15, 2014 I'm in. I have not ridden either area and have been patiently hoping for a ride that is something other than truck trails this weekend. Will haul the bike down in the truck and stage someplace. Never been there so recommendations and directions would be awesome, but I can always look at a map too.

PV6229 0 Posted February 15, 2014 Bob, We just spoke on the phone. Plz advise time and location when known. Ed I am going riding... I think Axel wants an easy ride; one where he can cruise without too many obstacles Thinking Corral- Perimeter road, 1, 2, spur, 6 and 4 or Lark- no obstacles No matter which, I'll probably show up early, and blast a few fast trails, then settle down to ride with him I would call this "small bike novice friendly", but probably a bit much for a true dirt n00b Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MotoDude 2 Posted February 15, 2014 Is the oak tree off McCain Valley Road? Looking to join the ride. Which exit is best off the 8? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted February 15, 2014 Boulevard Exit (65 I believe) Turn right, then left on old 80, then left on McCain Valley Road The oak tree is in the day use area- I'll try to post a link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will haul the bike down in the truck and stage someplace. Never been there so recommendations and directions would be awesome, but I can always look at a map too. did a little research... your bike is only slightly heavier than my DRZ and significantly lighter than my KLR Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
orange UP 0 Posted February 16, 2014 As long as we aren't jumping up huge ledges or over big fallen trees I should be fine. Not that I wouldn't try, but might take more than once. I've been offroad before and seen more than my fair share of TT's. I have even had her on the Vet track at Pala. I assure you that you can feel every pound of her if you don't hit the landings right. Anyways, the bike is all loaded up and ready to go for the morning. See you guys there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
