PbdBlue 46 Posted December 9, 2015 Me and a couple of buddies are heading out for a spin on Sunday morning. Staging at the gas station in Ocotillo. Route undecided. Probably north up through Jojoba wash, Canyon Sin Nombre ..... Kick stands up around 9:00. Self sufficient (tools, tire repair, etc) riders welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwood 11 Posted December 11, 2015 Lurking......... highly probable to be there. After the ride, I'm going to the RoadRunner m/c 'Christmas Classic' pits out at Superstition/Poleline to see some friends before heading home. I would have room for one more bike on my truck if anyone's interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagstr 287 Posted December 12, 2015 PBD, Hey, don't wear out those trails for us buddy! Looks like .48" of rain in Ranchita but a mere trace on the low ground. The wind may have helped smooth the trails. Good Luck with the ride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PbdBlue 46 Posted December 12, 2015 Thanks. Been trying to hook up on one of your weekday rides but work is not cooperating. Tomorrow is about the only day I have free until after Christmas. Loop will probably be very similar to yours unless we decide to drop down the Diablo dropoff. It's a nice ride but I'm not wild about the section from the mouth of Fish Creek down to Painted Gorge:) Weather for tomorrow looks nice. BTW - have you been by the cave in Arroyo Tapiado recently? I was there a few months ago in the 4WD and it had caved in. Still accessible with a bit more effort. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wierdrider 187 Posted December 12, 2015 Pretty sure the cave looked worse a couple of weeks ago? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagstr 287 Posted December 12, 2015 Randy, " I'm no Cave Man " so did not investigate the interior. Last week it looked pretty much the same. Just the opposite with me, hard to get away on the weekend. We will cook something up in January. Have fun. Dave P.S. Yeah agree, that track east and south from Fish Creek stinks. There is plenty to ride up on top of the mesa without facing the drop and the extended route it entails. That's why I split between North and South events. People climbing the drop just make it deteriorate more. The four wheelers dig holes creating steps on their climbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken S 164 Posted December 13, 2015 Wildwood. If your coming to the race stop and say hi. Corey and I are racing the 10 - 11 race then going for a fun ride. Your welcome to join us.

Oracle 195 Posted December 13, 2015 Just a suggestions, as you exit Fish Creek, head north about a mile before you start heading east. This route has several fun washes and even some small sand dunes. It's much better that just taking the dirt road along the train tracks and you avoid the silt beds. Once you get to Corrizo gorge, make a right and head south. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PbdBlue 46 Posted December 14, 2015 Bill - Great to ride together again. Ended up with 6 riders - Wildwood, EastcountyKTM, BillP, myself and two non SDAR buddies. The usual route with a few twists. Ended up dropping down the Diablo dropoff and out Fish Creek. Went east a bit and cross country'd down to Carrizo avoiding the dreaded silt beds. Then on south and cut across through Painted Gorge miraculously missing all the whoops. Turned out to be a good route. No mishaps and a good time was had by all I think. Sorry but I don't think anyone took any pics. Bagstr - We left some sand for you to ride on Thursday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildwood 11 Posted December 14, 2015 Fantastic Day, Thanks for posting up Randy. The section out around the silt bed, hauling butt through the smooth rolling sand was a blast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
