Passed Amago the other weekend on the way out to camp/ride Ocotillo Wells. I should have stopped the van, but it's costly these days with both of my son's and myself riding the track. Ocotillo was hot, but it was good to ride a little bit. I didn't take my bike, but I did ride and burn the clutch in my son's 125. I'm too heavy for such a small bike. I should have the new clutch today if all goes well.
As for Amago, last time I was up there it was June and the Vet track was nice. Hard packed but nice. It's more natural with a nice outdoor style uphill. They took the old Peewee track and expanded it. The main track has changed and it has the typical pushed up type jumps, tables doubles, etc. But very ridable even if you don't do the doubles, etc. That's unless they have changed it July/Aug. Last time I was up there on a Friday we only had a handful of riders and the track was always clear, no problems. My oldest was riding his xr100 at the time and he liked the main track best. I tend to say on the Vet track and was the only one on it all day.
Ocotillo in Oct/Nov. would be nice, let me know when you all are heading out. My buddy here at work said something about riding this weekend, but it would have to be early Sunday for me. I know a few guys that leave San Marco at about 5am on Sundays, just the get a ride in before 11 am or so to beat the heat. So it is ridable right now, but hot for sure.
We're just up the road in Fallbrook, so let me know when your riding and maybe we can hook-up.
Thanks Ed
