Urban mtb Freeriding????
- Thread starter sonic rbz
- Start date
There's a shop in La Mesa right next to SDSU (maybe college cyclery???) that does rides every thurs. I've never gone with them but I know a guy who says the rides are fun. Also Bicycle Warehouse just off the 5 does rides a couple times a week but I've never ridden with them and don't know anybody who does. I ride with a group that does Anderson every wednesday, it's a long grinding climb with a gnarly descent, a couple of good drops and jumps, it takes some skill to make it down the big lines but there are go arounds for all the stuff that may or may not be over your head. PM or email me at kornphlake79@yahoo.com for more details.

Orven is your man.
PM Pegboy.... he's got all the know hows and ins on all freeride stuff, shops and spots in the greater SoCal region including Bakersfield.Rabie said:
Does he know anything about barstow, how about newberry springs?
Fronj!
dunno... I didn't move back to california until about 3 weeks after the fires. The trail is definately in poor condition, it's probablly better now than it will be in a few months after it starts raining again too. Current conditions are really loose, places are very sandy. Some of the ruts have been graciously filled in and the WC section is pretty rideable and fun. The fire road from the end of Eco to Peutz Valley rd is really torn up, I've been riding it every week for about two months now and ended up having a pretty good crash just last week, you get a lot of speed coming down the road and little rock gardens and rut gardens seem to sneak up on you without enough warning to brake. I think it's a fun trail but from what I have heared it's nothing like it used to be.bfranke said:
I have these places in my head but PegBoy knows all the freeride stuff in SD. He used to be a cocky freerider over here.. PM him for infos
The only thing that Orven has in his head are images of young pubescent naked boys. The avitars and live in girl are just a front. I rode up the chairlift with him once at Big Bear and he touched me kinda funny. He said if I came over to his place in Chula Vista he would show me his Nicolai. This kinda scared me. I think he did it 'cause I'm a roadie and don't have a problem wearing spandex.
I got a trunk full of fire wood from Bofus a few weeks ago, he seemed pretty friendly actually, but I was acting like a social neighbor not an angry mountain biker.bfranke said:
I actually think he's calmed down a bit since putting up the wall, he's effectively blocked himself from destroying the trail and most of the bikers are going around his property to get to the trail. I live right down the road the road gap crosses (which is in really bad shape BTW) so I've been riding up from my property to the top and then down and back up peutz valley rd. I don't park under the bridge and I don't ride past bofus' house so I haven't had as much trouble as others have. There were a couple of vehicles broken into a few weeks back, although I have no reason to believe it was Bofus, be sure to lock your cars and don't keep any valuables in them if you park under the bridge, also it's best to park off the road on the west side just south of the bridge rather than directly under the bridge. Driving under the bridge twice or more every day I can attest that there are some pretty nutty people that hang out in that area for whatever reason, and most of them are not bikers, although we do get blamed for their trash.
