husky4me 0 Posted November 12, 2006 It was another great ride! Another cool bunch of guys who love adventure riding! It was fun and I was able to see areas I had not explored before. But these guys who mentioned it is adventure riding not a race, and the other one who mentioned he was old and could not keep up, were both very fast! I just could not keep up with them... Maybe I'm the old one, uhmmm In general the fire roads were easy; seems to be an appropriate route for bigger bikes, but in our group, we were riding mostly dirt oriented bikes. First picture at 6:30 a.m. 2-wheels and me starting proctor valley road.. Here we are meeting at Mobil Station in Ramona, ready for a great ride! I think this is Kevin riding along... I forgot the name of this water r... could someone name it.... one of our first rests... Another view of the road.... Here's "old man Wayne" who could not keep up with the rest of us.... LOL (one of our fastest ) Another rider (was this bum?) A dead end... nice area in Palomar mountain.. Hell Angel's Club... Upss... I mean SDAR having lunch with these other harley guys.... I'm ready for the next ride Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PastaPilot 17 Posted November 13, 2006 Another great ride planned on SDAR with more great people joining in. I don't have any pictures to share just my .02 I really enjoy this ride so I'd be willing to do it again anytime. In fact if it was possible I'd try to include the Western half of the palomar divide trail (edit: actually the High Point Truck Trail) on every ride. I gotta hand it to wheelie king Kevin for leading a great ride through North County. Slow poke Wayne for being the fastest guy out there. I swear when we were jammin' up Palomar Divide I'd be thinking to myself how fast I was going and I'd look back and you were right behind me and it looked like you weren't even trying. My only complaint on the day was the number of trucks on Palomar Divide road. And they all seemed to be going the opposite direction we were. I almost ended up going over the side after meeting up with one. Thankfully there was a boulder there to stop me, I just ended up trapped under my bike, thanks Mike. I may head out that way next weekend for a little exploring trying to make my way to Anza on as much dirt as possible. I hope to ride with you guys again soon, Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PastaPilot 17 Posted November 13, 2006 BTW Kevin, I think I'll be up for a trip to Mexico in December or better yet Early January. Yup January, that way Kawee can join us. We'll call it the "Welcome Back Kaw'ee Tour". If Kaw'ee joins us and lets us use his name of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boston Mangler 0 Posted November 14, 2006 I really enjoy this ride so I'd be willing to do it again anytime. Ditto! In fact if it was possible I'd try to include the Western half of the palomar divide trail (edit: actually the High Point Truck Trail) on every ride. Actuall, we only did a tiny portion of the "Palomar Divide" trail, the western (actually NW) 1/2 of the Palomar Divide trail starts further down the 79 from where we entered and is a completely different trail. My maps so it connecting to harrision grade, but i dont know if thats physically how it goes. I want to try it though. I was thinking of doing Harrison Grade this Sunday AM and seeing how far i can take it. As for the High Point Truck Trail, i dont think i will be doing that section again, that is the 3rd time i have run it and each time, i have had a close call with a vehicle of some sort. Its only a matter of time. I am going to shy away from this trail, too much truck traffic with all the hunters in the "NO SHOOTING" zone, kinda sketchy if you ask me! My only complaint on the day was the number of trucks on Palomar Divide road. And they all seemed to be going the opposite direction we were. Most of the trucks were on High Point, but i agree, too many for my liking I almost ended up going over the side after meeting up with one. Thankfully there was a boulder there to stop me, I just ended up trapped under my bike, thanks Mike. I have had some close calls myself so i am going to try to avoid this section I may head out that way next weekend for a little exploring trying to make my way to Anza on as much dirt as possible. Email me! BTW Kevin, I think I'll be up for a trip to Mexico in December or better yet Early January. Yup January, that way Kawee can join us. We'll call it the "Welcome Back Kaw'ee Tour". If Kaw'ee joins us and lets us use his name of course. Awesome! Lets plan a Mikes Sky Ranch Trip! Should be nice and cold by then! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
