Boston Mangler 0 Posted March 31, 2007 Pyro and Mangler if you wanna convoy from the beach can we meet in this parking lot at 6:45 Argggg! I got a customer that was bringing his truck in at 8am today (Saturday) for about 6-7 hours worth of work. He got delayed and wont be here until about 2pm. I can going to try my hardest to get this thing done and out of here, but i got a feeling, that i might be wrenching on it until mid day sunday! If i am not at the Autozone at said time, please dont wait for me! NOT IN A GOOD MOOD RIGHT NOW!!! I HAVE BEEN ITCHING TO RIDE FOR WEEKS!!!! ARGGG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crawdaddy 96 Posted March 31, 2007 The gates are all open now, they close them when it rains to prevent ruts. Out there last weekend. The Lusardi Truck Trail goes for miles of nice riding, but doesn't go thru to Mesa Grande (without going thru some rancher's gates) or to 76 without having keys to the gate at the top where it hits ranch property. Still alot of great riding out there, but Pamo area seems to be off the path that Jon set for the ride. He's the leader, so it's his call. I'm sure there will be plenty of great trails for us all to see with his lead, as he's been riding the area for quite some time. Maybe on the trip back into town if anyone has any energy left. It will be a blast! Good to know that gate is now open across Black mtn bridge.....that's a neat little trail/connector between Pamo Rd. and Black Mtn Rd. Hmmmm......didn't know about the ranchers property on Lusardi but that's not surprising.......may still fiddle around back there just to reaquaint myself with the area.... The only reason I brought up these Black Mtn off-shoots was to let people know about'em and because I thought I might play around/explore a bit tomorrow since I can't ride all of Jon's route due to limited time hall pass (but I did get the green light to ride over and say hello in the morning) See you guys in the morning.....

PastaPilot 17 Posted April 1, 2007 I just got the bike all tuned up and blinged out at Gunner's Honda House. It was nice and warm in El Cajon and should be perfect temps all the way to the top of Toro Peak. See you fools in the morning, Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest EX QB Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks Jon Honda Pilot for putting on the ride. I will have to log some serious practice time, so I can keep up with you guys at that pace. I need to get my own bike and get real comfortable on it. For the other riders thanks for waiting on me. The one thing I have taken from the last two rides I have been on is, what else on a Sunday morning can you do (but ride) to see the most amazing views and scenery that we have gotten to see? From the Turkey that tried to take my head off, to the deer, on the hill side and all the squirrels. Wow what a beautiful place that God has given us to enjoy. Phenomenal!!!!!!!! Thanks again, EX QB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Hammerin Hammon Posted April 2, 2007 Thanks Jon, that was a great ride, great veriaty of terrain .I cant wait to see all the beutifull pictures. Nice pace set by all fun fast and safe. Plenty of good riders to dice with. You guys were all so well prepared, I was very impressed with great spirit of all who rode. I am glad I dont realy have to work today, doing this ride Pyro style I got in 231 miles, I am not as sore as last weekend (riding MX. at amago) but I can feel the ride.
