ADV Bum 205 Posted August 6, 2014 I am going to take my daughter (9) out with me (2 up) on her first MC ride tonight. We will be on the Vstrom. Any suggestions on a good sunset destination that would have a safe-non highway path from Encinitas? Any suggestions would be appreciated, I am just looking to make her first ride nice.

ADV Bum 205 Posted August 6, 2014 Sneeker that would of fit nicely. I wanted to head out into elfin forest for the drive. Unfortunately my wife has shite canned this in the blink of an eye. She says she already had plans after work to take the kids to the beach and hang out with some of their friends. My 5yr old son seeing the prep of helmets and radios for my daughter (getting jealous) gives me an inspiring " Dad, I would like to hang out with you sometime". MC seeds being planted. So now I am free to ride whatever. Maybe I will do some small bike training in the San Marcos wilderness, head out to black mountain or big bike cruise.

If Suerte Del Este is right after the water crossing by the Bridges development, it is a definite no go 2up on a the Vstrom. That hill is really rain rutted. Where do you guys get the names of these places? When we grew up those areas were referred to as Spook's Canyon. Many a weekend partying out there before developments moved in.

Wintyfresh 46 Posted August 6, 2014 That's the one, I just grabbed the name from google maps. Still a great place to catch a meteor shower or test out a new suspension tweak. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted August 6, 2014 Sneekers destination looks good from your area... so does Palomar. i'm an East County guy now (I miss the beach) so I would suggest Otay for a good sunset. 94 out to some dirt roads- all totally rideable two up on a pig Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downs 1 Posted August 12, 2014 Now that's my kind of Camry lol. I'd suggest the Otay Mtn Bunkers. Sit up on the bunker and have a sandwich or something while the sun sets Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
