PastaPilot 17 Posted February 3, 2008 I had such a gret time in the desert on the last few rides I'm doing it again. Not sure of the route but I'm contemplating reriding all that I did on the last run only instead of just riding through so many fun areas to ride in spend a little time and enjoy each location. Mainly Superstion Mt and Plaster City. Lots of fun, need to ride both a lot more. Meeting areas and times will be the same, Santa Ysabel gas station at 8AM. Ride a lot of desert. 130-140 miles total ~20 miles paved. Gas stop is available around 80 miles. EDIT SEE BELOW Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastaPilot 17 Posted February 5, 2008 Ride Edited and Renamed I just saw snow all over Palomar Mt. The desert was too far for what I have to do this week so now I'm doing the Palomar Divide trail and riding some snow on well used 50/50s. Relatively quick ride, be back mid afternoon. Meet Ramona McDonalds at 9AM or Warner Springs Gas Station at 10AM. Alex or Zach are you interested? Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastaPilot 17 Posted February 5, 2008 Sorry Zach, I live in PB and have to leave my house at 630AM to get to the trailhead by 9. Last ride I didn't get home until 730PM. With yesterdays news I have other things I need to do tomorrow than ride, like pack my shite again. I am going to look at a place tonight. Sounds promising, even comes with a garage space. Fingers crossed, dressed to impress. Palomar ride only takes a few hours each way from Ramona, great trails going there and back. I'll explore a little as it's been so long since I've been up there. Desert ride may be on again in two weeks, I'll keep you posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirt dame 561 Posted February 6, 2008 I would call the ranger station before driving all the way out there. I have noticed in the past, that the rangers like to lock the gates on mountain dirt roads after storms, probably to keep people from getting into trouble in mud and snow or perhaps washed out, damaged stretches of trail.
