dirt dame 554 Posted January 20, 2019 So....I met Ken and Van at the gliderport in Warner Springs and we had an excellent ride with lots of good dirt and a bit of sloppy mud. Temperatures ranged from balmy and pleasant on the mountain and in the desert, to pretty freakin' nippy in Anza. There were areas where we got batted around by wind gusts, but this was mostly in open areas, and especially on our pavement sections. No drama to report, and I had a couple of tip overs due to being short. Highlights of the ride included Palomar mountain, Bailey's cabin and Cooper Cienega truck trail. All in all, it was a great day, a great ride and great company. I was little surprised that nobody else showed up for the superb riding conditions. 32931947118_63de4c4b43_o by Paris in the springtime, on Flickr 32931956108_b18723ac77_o by Paris in the springtime, on Flickr 31866102767_09e4253019_o by Paris in the springtime, on Flickr 46807830421_bbacbdaaf5_o by Paris in the springtime, on Flickr 31866120127_0bbc9a91b0_o by Paris in the springtime, on Flickr 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, all my bikes are guys, so I will be coming up with an appropriate name for him, sometime. Not very creative these days, so I have just been calling him Mr. 501. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacDuncan 131 Posted January 20, 2019 Well done y'all. I had planned to go, but the orange bike needed some care, and thought about using the street bike for about 7-8 seconds.......but nope. but I did fly down to Ocotillo wells on the vstrom , quite windy and nippy in the hills, but glorious in the desert!! Likely nice at the Cabin too. Is Anza to the cabin not far in distance as Borrego Springs to the Cabin? That bike pic at the cabin sure is purty! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cabin can only be reached by going in on the Anza side, which is not a far distance in the dirt. It's an in and back out route. It's been years since the route has been opened end to end.
