JCC 0 Posted January 19, 2011 Greeting...I am new to SDAR. I am excited about getting out and riding some trails. I have owned my DRZ400 for about 6 months now and itching to get off the pavement a bit. I recently purchase my protective gear and looking for other beginner/intermediate riders interested in organizing some rides. Contact me if your interested and lets put something together. Thanks, JCC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bikeslut 1 Posted January 19, 2011 Welcome! I used to live in that area and ride a DRZ...don't ride down by the railroad tracks; the cops hate that. UTC is not too far from Pine Valley and Otay- join one of the rides posted from there...don't know of many trails closer P.s. Don't "hide" your bike like fakename Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like a good place to start. I will stay off the train tracks! P.s. Don't "hide" your bike like fakename Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mistress of the dual 1 Posted January 19, 2011 There's a few decent places to ride in the Ramona area. Ramona isn't too far from where you're at and the ride up there is a pretty nice one. I live in Ramona and work in UC. I ride either my DRZ or my BMW to work most of the time. The best part of my day is the commute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jim 0 Posted January 19, 2011 .....P.s. Don't "hide" your bike like fakename Gave me a great laugh and awesome way to start the day. Funny how changing one letter can change the entire meaning of a phrase and still be so accurate! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would like to come out and ride there sometime. Like you said not too far of a ride from U.C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JCC 0 Posted January 25, 2011 JCC, today was a great ride up on Otay. Really glad to have met you and SmallTank. Post up a ride report and your pictures. BTW, you did excellent on those Trail Wings! Spyder Thanks for your patience and leading a great ride! We will have to plan another one soon. I think I might invest in some better tread, those trailwings are sketchy. After we got back Kolani ran into a friend who has a track one mile from where we started. So we went out and rode the track for about an hour actually took a couple of jumps!! We were thinking of posting a combo ride including the track. Kolani's friend has a fee that he would reduce if we brought a group to ride the track. Just another idea...I am not sure if people will have an interest or not to ride the track. We will have to post and see. I will be in touch and thanks again for a fun ride.
