Lots of small bike And big bike stuff in SD I recommend exploring our local desert asap before it gets too hot. This ^ stagecoach trail is borderline dez / high dez and will get hot too but at least it’s up in elevation. The desert floor will heat first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly Jacumba goat trail10_24_20.gpx hmmm, this seems to be showing an all pavement ride out the 8, up over sunrise (mt laguna), To Julian, and back to SD. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zubb 1058 Posted March 29, 2023 Start here and go north under the freeway Dropped pinhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/V5xpM2dGmuNuWyTp8?g_st=ic proceed to here and jump around the guardrail onto 8west. Dropped pinhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/kcq86ysgLxp8tGhX9?g_st=ic that is a clockwise loop with the highway being a “safe” exit point. If you are feeling spunky on your skinny bike, you can skip the exit and continue clockwise back up the hills. Note: not recommended for big bikes. Not recommended for solo travel. I doubt you’ll see other riders so be able to self rescue. Confirm your Aflac accident policy is paid up. Turn on your inReach before starting. Carry extra food and water, and parts if you’re on a KTM (LOL), or just take @tntmo with you. ‘nother Note: I’m not wearing my glasses so kind of think those two pins are about right. You’re on your own to verify (maniacal laugh!). Pics or it didn’t happen! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1058 Posted March 29, 2023 Do not continue here unless you have hard enduro skills. Dropped pinhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/uVDUv81D936BkJdw6?g_st=ic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zubb 1058 Posted March 29, 2023 yeh, the link works for me. Someone confirm please that you can see the track from the link above. This was the track as I remember it. Where it dumps out to the 8 was where we got off. Continuing on in a clockwise direction is much more difficult. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubb 1058 Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) While you're out there having fun.... you may want to jump south of the freeway again and ride this. Valley of the moon loop- Lvl3-2.gpx You'll want to be comfortable lofting the front up some ledges and riding sand. I must confess I haven't ridden this whole loop as my posse wasn't feeling it that day, and I'm a stay with the group kind of guy.

spazegun2213 36 Posted April 3, 2023 yup, its clear I'm blind. the trail runs so close to the 8 that zoomed out it looks like it was just a pavement cruise! Looks like I need to get my eyes checked again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
