Otay in San Diego

[fng2moto]

Anyone up for a ride on Dec 3 down at Otay? I think SteveH and I are still goin'. Anyone else have a weekday off, Fri? Probably go in the morning, not too early, check it out and putt around :ride:

Tink, Learning to Fly, Jack, you guys live in SD right? Or close by? A warmup for Corral Canyon...yeah I know, who needs a warmup :aj:

Where is this place exactly?? Directions?

 

[fred2]

Are people still riding there? Are you talking about the area right by the fence off of 805 and 905? Pretty fun but I think they're really cracking down on riders there. Too bad cause it's a fun local place to ride.

 

[fng2moto]

Nope, another place...let me find a link for ya, saw it on TT, got some buddies over there. Think it's off of Palm Ave

Here's the thread from over there...

Hey fng, I`d love to do that ride but I don`t normally get Fridays off.
I`ve been thinking about taking off the 10th for the Coral Canyon run if there`ll be folks out there to do some rides with before it gets too late in the day. I`ll have to check out Otay on the weekend sometime.

I think Steve and I will be out there by noon. Not sure if Fish is gonna be there, I think he is :cool:

I would be interested in joining in.

 

[fred2]

Cool. Don't think I've heard of that place. So where exactly do you stage? It takes me a little under 1 1/2 hours to get to Corral Canyon from Carlsbad. How long do you think it would take me to this place?

 

[fng2moto]

An hour maybe according to Yahoo Maps. I pulled this off a Geo Caching web site.

Maybe someone can confirm these directions, this is what I'm gonna follow

From Otay Mesa: Take 905 to Old Otay Mesa Rd. At the end of that road turn left on Alta. Just before a 40-MPH curve sign turn right into a dirt driveway. In order to avoid driving across the property of a nearby ranch house take an immediate left turn. Follow this road north until another east-west road appears. Turn Right. Now you should be headed for the Steel Power Line and the entrance to the Otay Truck Trail

Just so you can see where I got it and there's a little more info

I might take my GPS and do some cache ing too :cool:

 

[fred2]

Awesome. The now illegal riding just south of the airport down there isn't too far from the area you're talking about. Correct? So you're right that it's around an hour drive for me. You'll have to post a ride report.

:ride: I have this Friday off, so I'm there - I'll check out all the direcetions n' stuff later (so far, I've always found everyone!). Thanks for the suggestion, FNG.

i *think* i know where O.T.T it's located, i used to stage at the end of otay mesa rd ( where the road makes a sharp left to go to the prison) near some big trees.
when i was there last year a section (maybe all) of the trail to the top of the mountain was blacktopped. im not sure if this is the miniwana trail or the Otay Truck Trail???

 

[Tinkrides]

So, do we have a time for this Friday? I kinda need to know so I can figure out if I need to load my bike Thursday or Friday a.m. Hope to see ya'll soon! :cool:

 

[Tinkrides]

So, I'm wondering if this thing is still happening??? From the other site, it seems like it may be a no-goer. Maybe just too much chaos with the holidays... I'm still up for riding someplace tomorrow, but I haven't loaded my bike or anything. If anyone has any suggestions, call me in the morning - 760-525-2698; my phone will wake me up and I'll get rolling!
