This ride is not for beginner off-roaders.
The ride will start promptly at 9 am at Main Street Coffee in Ramona. Kick stands up at 9 am. Please arrive gased up and ready to go a few minutes early for a short pre-ride discussion.
We'll head out of town toward Julian and hang a left onto Lake Sutherland Dam Road and on to Black Canyon Road for a short bit. Another left onto the Santa Ysabel Truck Trail. Did I mention this ride is not for beginner off-roaders? We'll take a short break at the junction with the Black Mountain Truck Trail before heading to the top of Black Mountain where we'll take a longer break for snacks, hydration, and B.S. Then we head back down the way we came to Pamo Road and head south the Orosco Ridge Trailhead were will take a short break before heading up Orosco Ridge. There will be another break somewhere on top. Then it's back down to the trailhead where the ride ends.
The entire route is approximately 42 miles, most of it unpaved. There is no gas, food, water, cell or concierge service along the route so bring some snacks, pack a lunch, and bring plenty of water. Then pack some more water. Also, in case anyone is wondering, this ride is not for beginner off-roaders.
