xr650lnoob 0 Posted April 30, 2010 I am riding tomorrow morning around 7 or 8 from my place in North Park. Attached is the prospective map of where i will be riding. You are welcome to join. Or if you have a more interesting location, i am open to suggestions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktm-licious 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Is the whole ride street, or are you planning on some fire roads? I kind of want to find some fire roads with snow, since I think it will be the last weekend we get to see any snow around that area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Here is the link to the google maps but it plots it in straight lines instead of how i originally intended. Besides I-8, the rest of the ride consists of fireroads, dirt-rock-sand trails. Banner rd is the only street section i can think of. So 70-80% dirt if you exclude I-8. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&...7781f6cb8d6e38b If you have other ideas, i am open. I'm just beginning to explore all these trails so i'm not set on a certain trail if you think there are more interesting places to ride. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xr650lnoob 0 Posted April 30, 2010 Link still shows straight lines so pasting the actual rd/trail names: 1. I-8 east 2. Viejas Grade Rd (fire trail) 3. Boulder Creek Rd (fire trail) 4. Eagle Peak Rd (Street) 5. Pine Hills Rd (Street) 6. 78 East to Banner (Street) 7. Rodriguez Spur Truck Trail - Heading East (Dirt/sand/rocks) 8. S2 North to Butterfield (Something i saw on the way, but not sure it's a trail. Looks like a loop so worth checking it out.) 9. Back down S2 South (Street) 10. Mason Valley Truck Trail - Heading West (Dirt/sand/rocks) 11. 79 South to Engineers Rd (?) 12. And then back down Boulder Creek Rd to Viejas (fire trail) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KTMrad 508 Posted April 30, 2010 8. S2 North to Butterfield (Something i saw on the way, but not sure it's a trail. Looks like a loop so worth checking it out.)

SD KTM 530 0 Posted April 30, 2010 This looks like a fun ride. What is the range on fuel? I am only good for about 70-80 miles without fuel. Is there gas when you leave highway 8? Or is it worth meeting in Julian or is that way out of the way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zee 0 Posted April 30, 2010 There is gas in Julian/78. This looks like a fun ride. What is the range on fuel? I am only good for about 70-80 miles without fuel. Is there gas when you leave highway 8?

xr650lnoob 0 Posted April 30, 2010 There is a gas station in Julian. Your range should be fine as long as you gas up in one of the exits before viejas casino (i don't think there is a gas station in viejas casino). If anyone wants to join, just meet me at the school parking lot right after the fire station. I plan on leaving at 8:30am from the school parking lot. http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&i...7cf4380ef5ce1b6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted May 1, 2010 I "think" there is gas in Descanso, at the top of Viejas Grade (where did Jed run off to?) 24680 Viejas Blvd, Descanso There is definitely gas at the Tavern Exit on the North side of the freeway No gas at Viejas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ktm-licious 0 Posted May 1, 2010 I got in touble with the wife , I'll confirm if I can go later today. If I go i'll meet up with you guys at Viejas Grade Rd . SD KTM 530 - (welcome to the club) I'm almost sure you have the same bike I do, I have taken my bike with stock tank over 100 miles I wouldn't worry about gas range on this ride.

Mac250R 0 Posted May 1, 2010 Just got in and checked your ride-looks interesting. If I can get the bike ready in the morning, I'll meet you guys at the school by 8:30. Hoping to make it but have to play it by ear, so don't wait if I'm not there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
