No need to dish on my CNF.......Just have to realize it is what it is.....And ride appropriately!

No time of year like the present to leave CNF in your rear view mirror for pretty much anything else."

I have to agree!!

You guys should come out and ride my Hemet - Idyllwild loop sometime.

You will be surprised how much fun it is for a local ride.
And it is legal ST ( no trail poaching necessary ) and I rarely see any other riders on the trail.
Depending on who shows up for the ride it can be a hard day or a hard morning and easy afternoon.
But never easy!!

You will drive home tired with a smile on your face.

It may be a little far for you guys in " The OC" but you can easily do it in a day.

I would love to ride up there. Post a thread for a group ride.

Yeah its great for watching the sunset over the ocean on a clear day with a firey sunset.

But the riding part.

And I am not even talking about all the traffic up there on any givin ride.

Will do...

Did it two weeks ago and as soon as we get a little rain it will be on!!

I guess Im used to riding on the street in traffic.....Shit I even relish it! I suppose thats why CNF isnt so bad to me.
And yes Jerry....Time to set up a group ride and showcase this Idyllwyld you speak of! The hard ways!

It's just that I'm afraid to ride with guys who get banned from ADV. If you're that mean of a person online, you'll just be even more mean to me on the trail. And that goes for that big meanie RAZR too.

Robs actually a PUSSY cat in person......RAZR....pure fucking asshole!....Just my experience

Shut up before I take your lunch money and give you a wedgie.

Yeah, that Herrhelmet guy is a wuss, he doesn't know me at all........................

Wow LOL!!!!! and the shit storm starts. If I was with you Jeff....I would have went after the kids as well.

CNF may not be exciting to you guys, but it's like a long term marriage. You ain't super excited to ride it, but after your done you are relaxed and appreciative.

For the trail riders, especially the ones who can't even haul their own "dirt" bikes, FUCK THAT. I ride my shit wherever I go. Riding to fucking Rohwer sux ass, or any other place that is HALFWAY decent. I want MY national forest open and accessible for me to ride.

CNF may suck, but it's my local area to ride and it's good enough for me. If it sucks so much, y'all can ride elsewhere :)

Hey Dale, I married and divorced that bitch five times over before you ever even met her. I know stuff about her that it takes years for newer riders to get to know. So, as a long term marriage goes, mine with the CNF spans 30 years or more.

I have owned a Dakar for about 6 years now and have ridden it to Baja a few times, DV on multi-overnighters more times than I can count, I laid out the first KotW on mine, putting over 1500 miles on it between Cali and Utah in a three day period, twice.......all dirt, More local desert and mountain overnighters than I can count. Don' t think most of us "trail riders" haven't done what you're currently doing. Most of us grew up on trail and desert bkes and have made our foray into where you find your self now. We really just enjoy riding dirt that is much more challenging than the CNF when we can. It's a choice and we all have to make one.

So go ride YOUR mountain and have fun..............this shit talking is all a big joke anyways. You know better than to take this seriosuly. Just an FYI, even though she's YOUR mountain now, when I'm with her she still tells me that she likes the way I ride her better.

Here's a few pics of my Dakar and where it's taken me:



At the peak



John Bull Trail



Gold Mountain



Baldy Mesa area



Here's a Pre GoPro video of Herrhelmet and I in DV in MArch of 2008 on our Dakars doing Goler Wash and Mengels.
