we had to cancel (due to lack o interest) our last off road event.

i am asking for location suggestions for the next one. those of you who live on the west side, please chime in. us, here on the east side, usually ride together on familiar trails out yonder. i would like to try somethin new out there-in westerdly like.

any ideas?

Probably one of the best areas on the west side would be up by Lake Pleasant. I ride my motorcycle up there alot. There is a vast network of trails. Just have to map out a good route. There is both some really tough stuff, some gravel roads and everything in between.

please give us road names/ hwy #'s/ gps coordinates so we can reference the trails.

You can spend a whole day out near Lake Pleasant. There are trails that lead all the way to wickenburg, and a trail system near Canyon raceway that just goes every direction. The castle hot springs trail is fun, lots of off shoots.

The Castle Hot Springs trail is the one I recomend . The ride I did last time was Castle Hot Springs from just about Wickenburg to the lake. It took about45 minutes to get there from the 101 and about 2 hours on the trail with no side trips, then spent about 2 hours exploring the area near Canyon Raceway. You can also follow the Haysyampa(sp) river back up from the lake. I have also heard that you can take the Haysyampa river from the I-10 to Wickenburg, but thats a long hard trail.

I will get you the coordinates tomorrow from my book at home. And as soon as I repair the front end(need to find a cheap front bumper) and get some front tires I'll be ready to go. I went out today for about 20 mins by my house, slow and easy though due to the front end(gas tank being held in w/ bailing wire Shocked

).

I looked on our map on here and the coordinates are something like
33.85 and -112.62 if that helps I dont know I'm not to up on GPS.
