Hello from the High Desert

Just joined...saying hello and looking forward to learning more from this site. Currently ride my old dinosaur, which I love, 1999 Specialized. Waiting on my new Trek Fuel...any day now......cheers!

 

Welcome @Guy S, where in the high desert are ya from? That new Trek Fuel will be a night and day difference from your 99 Specialized for sure...

 

I'm in Victorville. And, yeah, sure hoping for a great ride. I mean, I love my Specialized...but it's time for a new ride lol

 

Every 20 years ain't bad!

 

Fellow Fuel EX rider here.

Welcome!

 

Welcome...

 

Welcome @Guy S ! Can't wait to see the transition from the Old Speshy to the new Trek, although frankly the old Speshy was pretty good at the time.

 

Welcome from the Orange Curtain

 

Welcome! Ridden Bell mtn area a couple of times, good XC trails!

 

Welcome to the site and welcome to 2021

 

Hello, and welcome

 

I'm in Apple Valley. Hit me up if ya wanna pedal. I mostly hit Honda Valley and Bell Mtn. because they are local, but try to travel fairly regularly.

 

Outstanding. Welcome!
I live relatively in the Antelope Valley west of the Lancaster/Palmdale. Would really enjoy experiencing some new dirt out your way. Some to share over here as well.

Thanks for all the welcomes...this seems like a pretty cool place!

 

Welcome aboard.

 

Ever get out to Phelan? My bud's kid goes to school out there or as we say he is Phelan High

 

My daughter goes to Serrano......I think it's in Phelan. I was there today as I waited for her at tennis practice...I was thinking if there were any trails I could hit while I waited lol

 

Do they still ride moto's out in Honda Valley? WE used to ride there A LOT back in the day. I think the first time I rode there was over 20 yrs ago. We'd ride over to the Joshua Inn for a couple of coldies and hot dogs. Good times!

 

Not as much as they used to, but there are still several times a times a year where I will see 5-7 non descript white vans parked in the valley's with guys ripping it up, well beyond the layman's capabilities. I'll see one or two guys a weekend on enduro style motorcycles working their way along the trails. The area that runs along the aqueduct has kinda become the local go to spot for mtb with about 50 miles of trail there and trails being built leading over to the Hesperia Lakes area.

The red area is where everyone usually parks, right across from Hesperia Airport. The blue areas are where the main contingent of trails are. The unmarked area between the blue areas can be covered via fireroad. Definitely an XC area. There are some decent ladder bridges/drops up in the northwest corner of the larger blue area.

 

@Ricekrispyota that is awesome. We made lots of tracks in those areas back in the day. A close friend lived near Escondido & Mesquite, we would just rip from his house. Lots of good times out there.
