red planet


Found some time between soccer games this weekend to lay some tracks around the White Mesa country outside of San Ysidro.

  2. Wow! These are amazing, what a beautiful place. I drove past this area a few weeks ago and couldn't believe how unreal the trail is, even from the highway I could tell it possessed epic riding. Thanks for sharing.

  4. thx Ben, it has that affect on people ;-)

    sup Kara, you bring a bike with you, there's still a ton of riding open round these parts. But for scenery + pure, undistilled thrills White Mesa can't be beat.

    Hey Eugene, thx for checkin in. You could run that trail you know, maybe 8 miles the shorter route vs 10miles the standard. You'd love it!

    Chris- you know it my friend! What do you think, Red Mesa up next?

  8. it's a bit surreal out there, but the blazing downhill fun makes it hard to put a leg down and pause for pics. Might need to get back out there, you know, for the blog's sake ;-) mike

  9. Backin the day, when I used to ride, I did that ride. It was awesome! It's a great piece of the world there. I haven't been by there for a while, but it always brings back good memories.
