Zubb 1061 Posted August 27, 2020 Otay truck trail has been graded and is novice friendly. Last night was gorgeous and about 10* cooler with a nice steady breeze and low humidity at the towers. Have fun today roosting the corners. It’s very dusty. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bub_Hannah 174 Posted August 28, 2020 NIce pics Zubb. I gotta get up there. I went a litte ways up a few days after I bought my bike a couple months ago. My only complaint about my bike is the full street tires. I'm not going to toss them until I wear em out. Done a few off road treks since....just have to be careful until I get my 50/50s.

Don't tell @tntmo that he rides a supermoto up there and a Chinese scooter on slicks. And still has a smile on his face 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And still has a smile on his face Ummm, it’s a Taiwanese scooter, thank you very much! When it gets dry, I don’t feel that knobby tires give you a lot more grip. It’s kind of like marbles on glass, just slide around and have fun with it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was on anakee3’s and didn’t have the slightest problem. Road condition is quite good. Personally I prefer to let a little air out as it really softens up the ride and fairly doubles the traction and control for these tires. If you’re gonna run 80/20 tires up there now is the time to do it. I agree with Tom, an intermediate level rider can pretty much run slicks to the top. It’s not a difficult road.

alphajack 1 Posted August 28, 2020 it was the first time up there for me and I thought it was pretty awesome. I even mangaged not to crash once! I'm always glad to have knobbies when I overcook a corner. Anyway we had a good time until Mike caught a flat two hours into the ride. He called a lifeline to get home. He showed me that really steep climb, I wonder if I can get up there one day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This must be my day, not only did Mr Zubb agree with me, he also hinted that I’m intermediate level! Sunshine! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
