Hey desert_racer,
Just posted a reply to your post in the Reno thread, asking you to check out this thread, oh well thats what I get for not reading this one first.
Phelan is at the top of the Cajun pass off the 15 frwy. Although it is not a really large area, it has a lot of varied terrain. Everything from monster hill climbs, to singletrack , to sandy ridge trails. Its the best place I have found that is reasonably close to me.
I see that you live down Murrieta/Temecula way, will be there this morning for work. How far is it to ocotillo, have never been there. Do you think they got rain there?
