padu 322 Posted September 22, 2021 I don't know about the North folks, but I feel really blessed living in the South Bay where there are so many good rides around. With that in mind, I'd like to propose a recurrent ride starting today and repeating every Wednesday afternoon. Here's the format: Meeting time: 2:15 h before official sunset for the day. Kickstands up punctually 2h before the ride. Meeting place: Otay Ranch Mall > Panera Parking Lot Route: To be decided on the day of the ride. Ideally we should be back at the mall by posted sunset time. After ride: Happy hour at Novo Brazil, also at Otay Mall for beers and laughs. Terrain: 60% to 90% dirt. This is an novice-intermediate ride. The route of the day will be decided based on overall experience level. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

failedmusician 2 Posted September 28, 2021 Sunset is posted for 6:34. I'm going to try to be at the parking lot at 4:30, but I'll be cutting it close. Just checking if this ride is still going on tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
failedmusician 2 Posted September 29, 2021 I'm worried I'm cutting this too close. If you don't see me there, don't wait. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

padu 322 Posted October 9, 2021 Stopping by to say I’m taking a forced break from the 2-wheels. I twisted my knee on an enduro ride with the KTM 250 and ruptured a few ligaments. I’ll be back in a jiff 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1061 Posted October 9, 2021 Say it ain’t so! Bummer Padu. If you need someone to ride the Ducati so the battery doesn’t go dead just hit me up. Heal fast my friend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
