cmbthumper 160 Posted June 11, 2019 MauleR, Hah! Your funny. Always will ride with as many people as i can. The more the better. I'll PM you with Phone # Still need to do my "Introduction to SDAR" as i just joined but basically a noob who is a lazy type rider. Still getting in shape and get pooped around 30mi. This will be my 1st ride after a small but painful get off and will be very cautious. Crash https://youtu.be/cg9HAxLjhfQ Small insight to how i currently ride https://youtu.be/TO4v2PxhyDQ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MauleR 4 Posted June 11, 2019 Cool sounds good 👍 that crash looked painful haha I had a similar one recently minus the oncoming truck lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmbthumper 160 Posted June 11, 2019 Look forward to the ride. That was my first crash since 98' (See Introduction). It wasn't bad at all for the first few days. On day 3 I sneezed and all heck broke loose when the rib brushing set in. 3 weeks later and all good. Bought a Leatt GPX 5.5 Pro HD chest protector for the next time. This ride will be testing out some new upgraded gear. I don't like pain so as I learn I will upgrade as needed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oracle 195 Posted June 11, 2019 Lurking for Thursday. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmbthumper 160 Posted June 11, 2019 Oracle, I didn't start the ride and I don't speak for others but please join in. From your avatar pic I may have met you on the trail in Orosco Valley at the junction from the damn or going up to the gilder port. I was on my KTM and Pop has his DRZ. Just a guess though. Anyone, I am new to all this so still learning. This is the route I wanted to take and explore. The Orange track and I now know Mason is closed but at least go to the gate.

Oracle 195 Posted June 11, 2019 I know that area well. The blue line there that goes through the Julian Union High tag (not sure why that is there?) is part of the PCT and is not open to motors. The segment of Mason is open from the intersection of Orliflame to the 79 is open, but there is a gate at the 78 that is always locked. You can go up and back though. It's a fun place to explore for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's no real set plan it's kind of up to what everyone wants to do... But possibly head down banner toll road then loop Chariot/oriflame/Rodriguez then back to Julian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cmbthumper 160 Posted June 13, 2019 Big thanks to MauleR for letting my Pops and i stage at your house. I apologized to everyone before hand on being terrible with names. Thank you (CRFL & KTM) riders. I am a noob so everything is a blast but that was very very fun. Enjoyed meeting all three of you, the ride, learning from better riders and chatting at water breaks. I am down for more riding for sure so i can learn to wheelie. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
