Newbie Ride
Palms 2 Pines
March Club Ride
5 Dualies and 1 guest staged out of Hesperia with the intention of surveying the 2 adopted trails 2W01 and 3W11 in the Arrowhead area. We were partly successful in that we rode 2W01 wearing some rocks and noting that a previous area identified as an erosion risk will probably need some shoring up, although it was still passable As expected, the Deep Creek Crossing was too deep to successfully cross.
We returned to the beginning of the trail, split into two groups, one lead by Dan Sapia who wanted to explored a single track, and myself and newcomer John, who decided to take the roads to Big Pine Flat and thence to the Malt Shop for lunch. While we all made it to the lunch, it took us much longer that expected. Dan’s group struggled to make it due to Dan’s rear axle bearings destructed, turning their ride into an order to get him them.
After finishing lunch, it was 4 PM, and we decided that we wanted to get back to the truck before dark, so we decided not to survey 3W1, in instead take highway 18 to 138, t 73 and back to the truck. Dan used his AAA towing service to get picked up at the malt shop and taken home.
We got in a lot riding and will have to schedule another trip to address the conditions on 2W01.
