April 13-14
Cleveland 200
2 day Dual Sport Ride with Single Track in San Diego County, Really!
Video of some of our pre-riding
This is a weekend dual sport ride around southern San Diego County. The ride will cover parts of Cleveland National Forest, the Laguna Mountains, Smugglers Cove, Valley of the Moon, Corral Canyon, Lark Canyon, and McCain Valley. Wow, who would have believed that there is still lots of great stuff in San Diego County.
Ok but this is an adventure with a twist. We will all be staying in the Cabins at Lake Morena. Check out the photos below of the Cabins. I have rented a group of 5 cabins for the weekend. Saturday evening we will have a group dinner (provided) and an evening campfire to tell ride stories.
Cost to join this ride including the Cabin Rental fee is $150
The money covers 2 nights Cabin Rental, the final night celebration dinner, and some snacks and drinks during the ride.
It also covers GPS files, both Tracklogs, and GPS Background Maps. I will also provide a printed daily ride plan with printed daily maps, all designed specifically for our route.
Thanks

Ride Plan Maps
I put these ride maps on the web page because I know a few of you love looking at the ride detail and dreaming about the ride. At first glance these maps do not look so impressive, but they are way cool. If you click the Earth or Satellite tab and start zooming in, you can see the ride in incredible detail. I have spent a ton of hours sorting through the details of the ride for each day, so for those of you that enjoy this sort of thing, well enjoy!
Legend:
The Red lines are Motorcycle Only legal trails (Singletrack)
The Dark Cyan lines are ATV trails
The Blue lines are main routes
The Green lines are a mix of easy and paved routes
