wildwood 11 Posted September 5, 2015 This was a fun loop. Sorry I didn't get the post out sooner. 7am at the Park-N-Ride, Solo and nothing but open road. Looking north from Boulder Creek out to where I'm going. Cedar Creek turn-off. The 3 Sisters trail look fun. I did I mention I hate gates. Canyon Cedar Creek Different canyon at the Eagle Peak junction. Gas & Breakfast at Santa Ysabel Sweet ride. Ranchita, mid way through the ride already. Overlooking Borrego Springs, and the Culp turn off to Grapevine Pass. Somewhere on the Grapevine Entering Oriflame Canyon. Oriflame has it's more technical sections. Looking back east down the canyon. Getting towards the top. Taking a break in the Cedar trees on top of Laguna. Deer Park Rd., heading for Pine Valley and the finish. Not a bad way to start the long weekend. Good distance and options along the way. More slab than I like, but some good sections to make up for it. Have a Great Labor Day!

MacDuncan 131 Posted September 5, 2015 Sounds like a good ride and that was nice a write-up with pics. Thank you Wildwood. Glad to hear that it went exactly as I thought it would, using good connectors for a rewarding loop as we all feverishly wait for the desert floor to cool down! cheers.

wildwood 11 Posted September 7, 2015 All alone, tsk tsk I know its all my fault, glad youre out there. You've totally corrupted me. I'll never be the same. I'm looking for 'bike' camping gear today. See what you've done. Miss riding with you buddy........going to have to do something about that soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Champ 116 Posted September 8, 2015 I have a brand new tent I bought for off the bike camping, set up once in the living room. Its down in the barn, small grayish nylon roll. I think you have access to a key, go get it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dsharp 3 Posted September 8, 2015 If you do this loop again anytime in the near future, I'd be very much interested in tagging along. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dan Diego 40 Posted September 8, 2015 If you do this loop again anytime in the near future, I'd be very much interested in tagging along. Same here. I did most of this solo not too long ago. Would like to tag along with another rider. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would like to tag along with another rider. We'll have to have a redux ride in the near future. Easy enough for big bikes, with alternate routes to run along the course and some being a part of the Desert Dash route. It would be a good mellow night ride route too. I need to get some dirt in there between Santa Ysabel and Ranchita. I haven't ridden that area much, one reason I wanted to head out that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
