Lopez Cyn - Southern Cali

[climb any hill]

A friend who rides a Yz has been telling me about the this place just a few miles away from mom's house. It's mostly for dirtbikes but quads do ride in their territory. Him & friends have been going back there with a bobcat/cement mixer. Clearing brush, making trails & building ramps. It's really rutty & slippery. I was having a hard time on some of the climbs but did conquer on every attempt. We then found some really smooth trails that lead to this sand pit in some woods. We were the only ones there so I didn't see the Mx guys fly around. Here's some pix but I'm definately going back & bring back more photos!!

See that climb to the right? Pretty crazy, there's a rut that follows you all the way up there but then you meet with another path & you have to hook a hard right & hard on the throttle too!



Here's another view.


Other trails


This is the backside of a hill, there's a ramp on the other side & you land here.

Here's the same hill with the ramp & these are all over this place.

I see you're in Cali too, this is where the 210 & 118 Fwy's meet. You can definately come along & if for some reason I can't go then we can still meet up & I'll show you the way. It's only a couple miles from mom's! Let me know!

Doesn't the 210 break from the 10?? I'm not fimiliar with those freeways.

ooohhhhh....ballinger is the shiznit! its about 45minutes past Ojai on the 33 right around the kern/ventura/santa barbara county area, its just open high desert/mountain/valley riding, its rumored that you can get to gorman from there through back woods mountain single track stuff.........picture gorman but not anywhere near as crowded with a better central parking area and not as regulated....and warmer during the winter
