bikeslut 1 Posted November 5, 2014 So...my inclination is to try for Jacumba- info board on the frontage road just west of exit 77 off the 8...high supposed to be 80...based on previous trips, plated bikes are best, but small ones; you don't want to be on anything bigger than a 650...rocks, steep climbs, some sand...be prepared to change a flat or two...I'll post some video from prior trips soon... 8 AM https://www.google.com/maps/dir//32.639809,-116.1071136/@32.6399104,-116.1094047,959m/data=!3m2!1e3!4b1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice pass on the inside by BS after I got my left foot smacked off by a rock & stopping. It's steeper than it looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted November 5, 2014 It looks steep...and the delay in getting your bike moving again supports that as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Honda90 0 Posted November 5, 2014 It's always steaper than it looks on video. That was cool. How 'bout them mirrors? If I had mirrors that worked, I would be a lot more confident on asphalt. Thanks for posting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Krs1 0 Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice!!! Curious what you guys consider that ride? Novice, intermediate or advanced? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted November 6, 2014 Intermediate-one or two sections maybe a little bit hi-intermediate...as a group, we always get through Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bikeslut 1 Posted November 6, 2014 We start easy, and slowly ramp it up...bypasses (or sit and wait) for all difficult sections; nobody left behind Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

blyth blyth 0 Posted November 7, 2014 Hi Bob, If you think I can handle the terrain then I'm in. I never rode there before, so I need to check. Thanks, Phil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted November 7, 2014 Phil- I hate to choose which trails you try and which you don't, but stagecoach is 10 non-stop minutes (at my speed) of rocks, steps, off camber, cactus infected trail. The rest you may enjoy...maybe join us, and decide on that section the day of?... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
