Santiago Peak Ride and More
 
 
Jan '04 ride with Darren around Santiago Peak and into Lake Elsinore and Lake Mathews CA.
 
   


These are the mountains we are heading for. Cloaked in morning mist
The brown "mist" is from other riders heading to the mountain.
Antennas in the mist. We took a single-track trail around these. Thanks Mike!
Darren emerging from the single-track. He had a grin from ear to ear.
Lake Elsinore. A town and a lake.
We found a dirt path from the bottom of the mountain all the way to the freeway.
But as soon as we started, some ungracious landowner said, "STOP".
We found our way using a side road. A cool power line trail with great views.
Pee shot. Nuf said.
Poser (me).
Now I've heard of people wanting privacy but...
I took a similar shot yesterday. More sun today & look close, you can see Darren
Big flat 20 miles from nowhere! Had tube but no pump. I went looking for help.
Found two blokes with a pump. God save the Queen.
Heading home. This is a steep and tricky spot. We once saw a CAR stuck here.
Relieved the flat was fixed. Only 20 minutes from asphalt.
