Maniac 0 Posted September 23, 2014 I think I will lead a ride based out of Anza this Sunday the 28th. Anza, the mountain town south of Idyllwild, NOT Anza Borrego desert. Depending on numbers and how hard people want to ride, we can have two loops, the A route and the B route. But most likely we will just have one group unless we get another person who is familiar with this area and can lead. Plan on lunch in Idyllwild or Mountain Center. Temps will be from the 60's to the 80's and there will be elevation changes. As always, be self sufficient. Street legal bikes only. This ride will feature thomas mountain, indian mountain, and possibly red mountain and Hixon trail if people are Ok with some moderate singletrack. The ride could be up to 100 miles. Meet : Mobil gas station in Anza, near Dairy Queen, 9:00, kickstands up 9:30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian, just realized who you are. I met you at Starbucks in Temecula for your old 990 seat. I also remembered that the suspension on my 565 is going to be at Bar10 this weekend so probably no small bike ride for me. I may buzz by there around 9 on my 990 and say howdy though.

Maniac 0 Posted September 23, 2014 Hope you'll do this again soon... Yes, in fact I hope to do a ride like this maybe 4 times a year or so. I also need to do a singletrack scouting ride in this area sometime soon. There are some trails I don't want to ride by myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drabnor 0 Posted September 24, 2014 Just an fyi Rouse Hill is closed due to the rains, not sure if the Thomas Mountain side is open... i rode rouse hill s-n on saturday. I tried to ride it N-S and the gate at the ranger station was closed. This was Saturday about noon. I might be able to make this ride, have to double check. I'd be happy to lead a harder group, I know the area well... Yup, I can make it, see you guys at 9 ish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maniac 0 Posted September 26, 2014 Will anyone have comms on this ride? Don't want to lug the radio if I'll be the only one... I am currently sorting out some issues with my wiring so I won't be bringing mine. So far it's just you, myself, and maybe Jonathan (Jonathan, you out there?).

Mr Moto 0 Posted September 26, 2014 All is well in KTM land. Would like to joint the group. So is this a difficult, technical ride? Fire roads? Some where in between? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maniac 0 Posted September 27, 2014 It depends on the group we get, but nothing too technical since my bike is new and not armored up yet. Fireroads and maybe a moderate singletrack, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Moto 0 Posted September 27, 2014 Sounds good; more single track is better but lets see on Sunday what the group conscious is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Moto 0 Posted September 28, 2014 I think I will lead a ride based out of Anza this Sunday the 28th. Anza, the mountain town south of Idyllwild, NOT Anza Borrego desert. Depending on numbers and how hard people want to ride, we can have two loops, the A route and the B route. But most likely we will just have one group unless we get another person who is familiar with this area and can lead. Plan on lunch in Idyllwild or Mountain Center. Temps will be from the 60's to the 80's and there will be elevation changes. As always, be self sufficient. Street legal bikes only. This ride will feature thomas mountain, indian mountain, and possibly red mountain and Hixon trail if people are Ok with some moderate singletrack. The ride could be up to 100 miles. Meet : Mobil gas station in Anza, near Dairy Queen, 9:00, kickstands up 9:30. The Mobile station is on 371- right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
