Anyone from Santa Maria or San Luis Obispo?

[placelast]

I see Ballinger Canyon is not far away; looks like it will be my new stomping grounds (Deano, Matt Cassle?). And then there's a riding area nearby Pozo, Los Padres NF; there used to be enduros there put on by the Cal Poly Penguins. And finally, there's good old Clear Creek a few hours up the coast, which reminds me: Farmer: need some company laying out your club enduro? I've been there twice (once for the national enduro, another for play); just enough for a taste of what it has to offer.

Oh: farewell to my SoCal Wrecking crew. It's been fun - sorry we couldn't roost more often. And I'll have to harass you all from a distance now.

I have a 3-month fixed assignment up the central coast; it may turn into permanent (one more year?). Nothing else has been panning out for me, especially here in the basin. Wish me well.

Good luck placelast!!! I used to live in SLO Town from '83-'87, I am sure that it has changed so all of my old haunts probably are no longer valid. You will most definitely love living there no matter what.

The Best of Luck to YOU!!

:( John. Sorry to hear your leaving us. But, I envy you getting to live in the SLO area. What a great place to live. :thumb:

When you get the trails figured out, give us a call. It's only 5-6 hours away. Also, we can still meet at Gorman. It's sorta half way. Your not gonna get away from the Crew that easily. ;)

Good luck!

placelast,
Pozo has some great riding. There is also Rock Front (Ranch) off Hwy 166 ~ 30 minutes east of Santa Maria. Rock Front is/was more fire roads than single track. The Penguins now do a dual sport in place of the enduro, it's on the D37 DS calendar. They get access to a couple of ranches and lay out some great loops along with the Pozo trails. It's not too far to Jawbone.....

True,  it's not the same when you're the oldest one in there :ugg: We should get an alumni party going and take over the place!!  You'll have to be at least 33......;)

Don't forget the Awesome dunes of PISMO! My "Old" crew and I will be there in April for some camping, riding and some major alcohol consumption! That is, of course, if it's still open then.

John--no one ever leaves the crew; you're just on temporary assignment.

I hope it all works out well for you, and like 89'r said, we'll all have to meet halfway some time!:thumb:

No, I haven't, so thanks for the lead. Although not a plate rider, I can certainly gain contacts there who do soley dirt.

I was in San Louis in 97. I was just passing through headed to school at Ft Roberts. That little bit of time spent there hooked me. Icalled my wife and told her thats where I want to live. I'm still stuck in Nebraska, but my hearts in SLO.

Not being a dick, but it's San LUIS Obispo. You'll get tagged as a foreigner real quick calling it San Louis...

Thanks, guys.

Oh: I suppose that means I cannot leave my reputation behind and start anew...
