Skinner Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Hi everyone - I’m Jeff from the Valley and new around here. I found this site while searching for LA based rides which led me to the Beyond Starbucks ride. I’ve been a long time sport bike and track day rider. I picked up an 890 Adventure R last summer. Right now I tend to hit up Rowher flats (it’s the closest off-road area to my house) but I’m really starting to think about more multi-day and overnight rides. Looking forward to seeing what types of rides people are thinking about and how I can join in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted January 27, 2022 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Incredibile bike! Rowher is great but us old guys like to call it Texas Canyon because that's what it used to be called. I was in OC but rode my bike down to Colombia and I'm planning to see the rest of South America. @greedyg may have some more info on rides but he's more in the foothills of the 909 I think than north LA. We used to do an early May ride in the Mojave Preserve and an early Nov ride in Death Valley but this time of year there's a lot of Saturday rides that assemble in the high desert on Saturday mornings at the Starbucks (where else?) in Adelanto on hwy 395.

Skinner Posted January 27, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Thanks Eric, I was looking at the route leaving out of Adelanto. That’s a good option. I have a friend who is a couple years older than I am and we’re constantly arguing about Texas Cyn vs Rowher. It’s become one of those dumb things between us now like, “huh? Where? Never heard of it.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Eric Hall Posted January 27, 2022 Administrators My Rides (3) Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 I met a guy at Death Valley recently who's a legend over at ADVRider who lives near there. I think his name is DesertRacing there or something like that. Rides a 950 Super Enduro and also a Beta small bike. Super cool and will gladly hook you up with some local rides. Also Joel Paez who is "NSFW" I think there also has his own LA adventure rider thread and has probably introduced more people to adventure riding than anyone in the world. Wish I was there or I'd like to ride sometime. I was just there for a month and rode Baja for a week then Death Valley twice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
