carguy 1 Posted October 30, 2006 This will most likley look like a write up for the trials riders. Sandiegoland, Joliet, Stevensyanara and I had breakfast at the Casino. Rideorange and Kevin showed up then papaalex. I led on some dirt I know to McCain to watch the trials rides. Here are some shots. As I have said in the past, it is hard to take ride pics from the front without stopping the ride. On our way to the event. The event At first i could not understand why so many people were standing soo close. Then the rider fell and they caught him. Good support group! When we got to the event husky4me and bikeslut showed with boys in tow to watch. There were a few blast from the past old school bikes, a yahama DT and Bulltaco trials bikes. There were little kids, old guys and a few women riders. I got a kick out of the little kids. No stopping them. Rideorange looking from another angle. I had fun and I hope all did as well. Until next time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2Wheels 0 Posted October 30, 2006 I took my son to go see the event, so I drove my truck. There were 3 sections within easy walking distance of the campsite. This pic is of an expert class rider. He's trying to go up a nearly vertical section with some loose rocks. The judge in the foreground is holding up one finger indicating that the rider lost a point for dabbing.

sandiegoland 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Carguy led a fine trail ride both before and after our trials spectating. A dirty and sandy good time! Seeing the trials event by dual-sport is really the way to go. It's pretty spread out so it helps to cover some ground. I think the participants also appreciate the support. You can see from the photos how close you can get to the action. ===== I recognized a rider from Orange County who had joined us on an April Ride earlier in the year. This is Inte (from ADVrider.com)... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

husky4me 0 Posted October 31, 2006 It was great to see you all out there! I went over there with my son and other friends.. just watched and did some riding... great picture's you guys!! I got excited watching these guys climbing those amazing rocks, so I went riding up there and slided down a rock, giving my perfect bike some ugly scratches and tearing my turn signal... Oh, well, that's part of the fun I supposed... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyro 1 Posted October 31, 2006 I missed the group due to over-indulgence at a Halloween party the night before, but I did make it out there to the trials site to check a little bit of the action. It was a pleasure to see a few of the esteemed SDAR members still on site when I got there. Bikeslut and his posse asked if I'd like to tag along for a little dirtbikin', so we headed off to explore around the area. What a great spot! Oh man, it was sweet! We carved up a slew of tight curves, plowed through a ton of tricky sand, jammed through those rocks, and had an absolutely bitchen ride! Upon our return to the main area, I found myself drenched with sweat and pumped full of adenaline. After some tastey beef jerky, I departed to head back down the 94 twards the beach. I'm sure you can all make a good guess at atleast some parts of my route heading west. I found this cool lookout along the way. Viva Mexico! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted October 31, 2006 nice to see you all this weekend. Good idea for the ride, Craig...Great to see a different view point in a familiar area. Morgan, enjoyed meeting you guys, and getting to ride with the adults. In no time, I will be struggling to keep up with him. Pyro; sorry we didn't catch the rest of the guys for you... I now recollect that they were taking McCain Valley Road for at least a while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandiegoland 0 Posted October 31, 2006 I found this cool lookout along the way. Viva Mexico! Hey, you found one my favorite little spur roads on Otay Mountain. Did you venture down to the end? That's one of the trails we've worked on... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pyro 1 Posted November 3, 2006 I knew you would know the spot Sandiegolands! . . . I didn't go down it. Being that I was alone and tuckered out, I decided to play it safe and enjoy the view instead. It looked doable but pretty rocky, combined with a nice rut or two. Does the trail go down very far? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It goes about as far as you see there, then turns into a trail. It wouldn't be difficult for you at all, but it's better with a 2nd bike, because there is no way out except up, a it is definitely too steep to push your way out if you had any mechanical trouble.
