christi20 0 Posted August 16, 2010 Hi all, I am going to check out the brand new track(s) in Anza called "The Ranch". The tracks are on the same site as Rynoland but are completely brand new. I think there are 3 tracks open this Friday through Sunday. They have a mini track, a vintage track, and a main track. $20 to practice, no membership fees. The photos of the tracks on facebook look incredible. Let's go! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robertaccio 406 Posted August 20, 2010 I cant vouch for anything No-one has seen the place yet (Christy will be there today Friday 20aug), other than the report that Stu Peters and Preston Petty created a 1960s style MX track, which by our standards is a scrambles course. Maybe some bumps but no jumps and just a flowing course. I hope the dirt is good and not too sandy (for the big machines), but at the same time in the 60s guys were riding Triumph twins and big heavy thumpers from BSA and others as well. So if its friendly for those beasts a modern ADV big bike should be good to go (that depends alot on rider skill as well). I will be riding my TE610 big thumper, but it is(was) a fully competitive racing machine in the 90s-00s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robertaccio 406 Posted August 22, 2010 was hoping for the vintage or 60s style (closed)but went with the opened 80s style. I was very happy with the big DS legal husky on this track and did all my riding with the crew on that track. had a good time, great exercise. heat plus altitude equals good training. Big adv bikes would not have been a good idea on the current tracks. The 80 style track was filled sandy loose stuff so more moto/enduro machines were the ones to use.

christi20 0 Posted August 23, 2010 My friend Betsy and I were the first riders on the main track. Wow, was it deep! But, I expected as much. It was a long track. Not too many obstacles, no doubles, a few step ups, several large hills, and a ton of offcamber turns. In fact every turn seemed flat and offcamber . I still had a good time. It needs to get worked in but the potential is awesome. Ryan Villapoto and Nick Way seemed to like it. The "retro" track, though just as deep, was more fun since it flowed better. I think they need to water more often, but I would recommend it if you are a decent sand rider. If not, you will hate it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
