JEFF 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Hi all, newbie here, wondering if anyone is up for a local ride tomorrow. I was thinking Miriam Mountain, can get in around 30 miles of dirt riding or so. Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SteveO 0 Posted October 18, 2008 I hope I'm not giving away any secrets, but it is spelled Merriam Mtn. Steve (who's never been there) Where's Miriam Mtn.?

JEFF 0 Posted October 18, 2008 There are fire roads and techincal stuff too, I can do either or. I am in Fallbrook and usually take old 395 and go under the freeway across from Lawrence Welk. Let me know if you want to meet up and around what time, also the first trail out has a few trciky spots, but nothing too serious. Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JEFF 0 Posted October 18, 2008 Something told me it didn't look right, I sit corrected Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Phill 0 Posted October 19, 2008 So if I understand it's that steep blacktop road across from the Welk gas station. Meet there at what time? Many years ago I was there for an antique car race down that hill. Long before there were house up there. Never been off the blacktop up there and I didn't know the name.

Phill I was thinking about riding after the Chargers game, but if you want to ride earlier I can do that too. If you continue up past the new houses at the end of the culdesac there is a gate, we could meet there. Let me know if you are up for it, and anyone else who is interested.

bikeslut 1 Posted October 20, 2008 and its not spelled that way I think its Pauma... right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirt dame 561 Posted October 20, 2008 and its not spelled that way I think its Pauma... right? No, Pamo road is the right name, and it isn't near Pauma Valley. The location in the post above is correct. Near Ramona. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted October 20, 2008 my bad I don't know north county, obviously. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEFF 0 Posted October 21, 2008 Thanks for clearing that up, I too thought it was Pauma valley. Jeff Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted October 21, 2008 ozzy and went for a ride today; we decided that for San Diego riding options, its really hard to beat Mimi, crawdaddy and racerbill... those 3 have the county "mapped"... in their heads (and on gps tracks if you're Chris) SDL is not half bad either, but he doesn't like us any more.

roostingu 0 Posted October 21, 2008 You got that right, Mimi is the best ride guide, she knows pretty much anything legal to ride and some thats not and you can pm crawdaddy for tracks if he doesn't have it he will create it and with bob for a riding instructor you're all set Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darylhunter 1 Posted October 21, 2008 Sorry I missed this, I was up at Sears Point (Infinnion Raceway) flogging an Audi R8 around the track on Sunday. Wish I had a spare $140,000 to plunk down on one of those cars - very nice! Just to confirm, this spot you're talking about isn't the happy hunting grounds that Hammer and I have taken folks to is it? If not I'm always interested in checking out a new spot. Is this a spot where I could ride the trials bike, and if so, is there parking in the area? If not I guess I'd have to ride the Husky. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
