I will be in SD from 14-21 June to visit some friends. We'll actually be in Carlsbad, and I plan to
hit the trails in Mountainbike Bill's recent video posting, but I also would like to go a little
bigger on one of the days. "A little bigger" being a 4-8 hr epic ride covering a fairly large
distance/elevation gain in an area that has a significant trail system.
From some cursory research, these appear to be the places to look:
- Penasquitos, San Celemente => Nice rolling canyons
- Mission Trails Park in Santee => canyons, fireroads and singletrack.
- Cuyamaca and Mt. Laguna mtn ranges (Adventure Pass) => lots
Any suggestions on what might be best for a long ride? Elevation gain, technical riding and length
do not scare me. The closer to Carlsbad the better, but the best trail system/scenery is the
higher priority.
Thx, Gman
