Friday morning ride.

450 -
I am. Should I bring the 450 or the 901?

I plan on riding Friday 18 July morning a easy round in the north / east county Possible some easy Dirt, with street connections. Think of starting in Lakeside, Alpine, Viejas grade, Boulder creek, Southland dam, Old Santa Isabel truck trail and up to PARTY POINT in Ramona. Getting a pastry and coffee at Dudley in Santa Isabel. Some adjustments can be made on the fly, like Measa Grande, Black canyon. Anyone interested?

Have been rocking the 450 a bit as of late. It's so much fun. Went out again this morning to get a few hours in on Otay Mtn with a friend before the heat hit.
My ride buddy today told me about his "trouble" last Wednesday though. But I'll start with my experiences last Sunday.
Last Sunday I took my visiting son out to show him the border wall. We switched into Adventure mode at Pio Pico and as luck would have it there was a BP just opening the gate as we pulled up. He was cordial as always, but warned the gate would be locked when we returned to wich I said "no worries", we were going out via the gun club road. Encountered 6 or 8 BP rigs along the way, and all were friendly as is typical.
View from the Otay Towers up top looking west toward the ocean ... look at those islands in the sky below us.
Saw 4 more BP jeeps/trucks so far in this short ride. All friendly.
Onward toward Tecate, then Campo.
Nothing unusual, all good and friendly.
Fast forward 3 days to Wednesday and my friend rode the wall between the west entrance of Otay TT and Marron Valley and out at Barrett Junction.
He was stopped 8 times by BP, all with angry attitudes, some blocking the road with their trucks, and threats of fines up to $1000. Even though he was allowed to proceed "this time", He was eventually detained and waited for a captain to arrive and was then escorted out to the highway. My friend is not a jerk. He's polite and considerate like most of us are. So I don't blame him for the negative encounters even though I wasn't there.
This is a pretty dramatic change from years past ... even from as late as Sunday morning.
I'm just saying, I plan to stay off the wall, at least for now and until I hear further from BP.
Soooooo, today we just hit up a bunch of trails on Otay that we've never explored before. There's some good stuff up there! We encountered 1 BP near the Pink Gate but didn't stop to talk. In hind sight, I wish I would have.
Temps weren't horrible as we hit dirt at 8am and ended back at HY94 around 11:30.

I've heard great things about this school and I'm glad something like this exists around San Diego! That's the one I plan to do when I finish getting the bike together. pic

I had lots of stuff to sell, but have been clearing out all the "can't get rid of it" stuff on eBay. Made some $, made some room and I'm glad my parts are helping other people around the world. Swap meets are cool to look at things but usually it's a waste of time trying to sell items. I'm a strong maybe on going. -

If you go to Ramona, then you have to hit up @Mr.JAJA he lives right there and knows the area very well. he would be the best point of contact for places to check out in that neck of the woods. He is also one of our resident engineering experts on all things motorcycles.

xD !!! Omg, that all looks like so much fun. I gotta figure out where these places are!
