Greenhorn 13 Posted September 16, 2016 What am I suggesting as Dual Sport? Country roads, side roads, moderate fire roads, minimal if any freeways. I’m riding around on a 430lb KLR that doesn’t even have its break in miles yet and that's about all the DS miles I have too. No flogging or thrashing, a somewhat leisurely ride with maybe a little zip or trail here and there. Not about point A to point B, but all the ride between A and B. Starting in Santee at about 7am up to Sunrise Highway via Vejas Grade. I was thinking riding down Buckman Springs over and up to Cibbets Flatt Campground, never been there and come to find out it’s up the road always saw the hang gliders launch from. Always wondered what was up there. Could always then cross the road for a ride up to Four Corners a ride around the Fire Roads that loop between Bobcat and Corral Canyon? Not sure conditions there, used to be reasonable. Another option could be skipping Four Corners and extending time in Cuyamacas. Back up Buckman Springs road to Pine Valley and up Pine Creek, or Buckman Springs to Sunrise Highway to Lake Cuyamaca If time permits i.e. skipping Four Corners, up to Julian and back down to Lake Cuyamaca on Engineers Road, anyone ridden on Engineers Road? Back down 79 to Descanso… That’s what I got as that what I know around there. Anyone know about Middle Peak Fire Road Loop, Azalea Spring or Lookout Rd off the 79? Open to any other as described “Dual Sport” ride areas - ideas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TrophyHunter 15 Posted September 16, 2016 Argh. Spent so much time on other's DR's in the past two weeks, mines just now making it to the final stages. If I get 'er finished up, I'm in........but lurking at this point. Dan took us on Engineer (I went on my Road Kouch) and it's a nice, windy back road.

Slaugo 35 Posted September 16, 2016 Those are all great roads that you'll enjoy on the Klr. Middle peak fire loop is the only one I'm not familiar with or we called it somethings else. consider the hard break in. Heres my initial break in ride just shy of three years ago. Hello Ken, hope all is going well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ThumperBob 21 Posted September 17, 2016 Patrick, Endineers is a narrow paved road. Very scenic and windy. Fun. Middle peak loop is hiking and mountain biking only. Or at least it use to be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
