TrophyHunter 15 Posted March 10, 2010 Seems like the meeting place is very close to Otay Lakes road without having to go to the 125, like we could pick up the dirt near the Thousand Trails campground by just taking 94 to Otay lakes from the coffee shop. In my travels I have noticed there are several new gates on the dirt roads depending on route. The current route has a high success rate of actually making it where we need to go. I appreciate the suggestion. Launching from the RV park is good but lands one 'tween the 905 ride start and the 94, skipping a majority of the border fence & the 250 monument....along with some fantastic views. This is more of a "start at the west end, pop out on the east end" ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe someone knows that route. It would be terrific. Anyone? Pasta? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LucidMayhem 0 Posted March 12, 2010 An update Ken: as of this evening, no work this weekend. But as of this morning, I am having brake issues with my bike. When I rode it to work, I noticed the brake pedal was lower than usual. When I got to work I noticed the disc was scorched and the pads were glazed. ... Ill troubleshoot and let you know if I'm coming or not. I'm optimistic tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cripes, participating in a hijack of my own thread. In the last write up, everyone wanted to ride thru the train tunnel and there was mucho discussion about if it came out in Mexico. As Shock mentioned, the above statement was made re would the tunnel actually end in Mexico or was it a few feet off on Google. Hence the need for the tape measure in ref to a passport. A trip to Baja would be shorter than that explanation. Hijack OFF Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
