I'm doing Mt. Pinos this weekend with some buds. We'll start at the McGill trail head, I'll add on the motorcycle trails from Cuddy turnout. It should be epic!

I'm riding Pinos tomorrow, but next time yeah! Are you also doing Sunset Ridge and El Prieto? Are you doing this ride on a full rigid?SScheetz said:Mt. Wilson Toll road, then down upper, middle and lower Sam Merrill. Starting at 5:30 AM tomorrow (sat). Join us if you're interested.
We might do Sunset and El Prieto, don't know 'till we're there. Lower M gets full of hikers so that's a good option.mtbski said:I'm riding Pinos tomorrow, but next time yeah! Are you also doing Sunset Ridge and El Prieto? Are you doing this ride on a full rigid?
I just did Mt Wilson Toll Road then down Rim Trail to Newcomb to Chantry about 2 weeks ago. It was a blast.

Is Rim Trail open? When did that happen? What kind of shape is it in?mtbski said:I'm riding Pinos tomorrow, but next time yeah! Are you also doing Sunset Ridge and El Prieto? Are you doing this ride on a full rigid?

Strawberry Peak is sweet! I think I'll hit that in a couple of weeks. Yesterday's Wilson Toll road, to Wilson, to Lowe, the 3 Merrills, was awesome. Next week I'll be in Big Bear riding and camping with family.endo verendo said:Strawberry Peak.

I was just there yesterday. We rode up past the singletrack turn off for the 24hr course up to the Ernie Maxwell Tr into Humber Park. Hurkey Creek is really becoming popular, we saw lots of folk riding yesterday. Unfortunately the Deer Flies were hungry too.mtnbikej said:Hmmmmm......I spent all weekend rding the 24hr course out at Hurkey Creek in Idyllwild.

The trail is still closed. The upper part is sandy and needs some work. The washed out section is still washed out. Otherwise still a great ride.STJunkie said:Is Rim Trail open? When did that happen? What kind of shape is it in?
The trails are located off the Scott Russell Fire Road. After getting off the Fwy head west bound about 3 miles?, park at cuddy turnout on right hand side just past Scott Russell fire rd. Park at turnout, climb Scott Russell fire rd to mx trail about 2 miles?(be careful, you could miss it). MX trail will eventually dump you back on another main fireroad heading downhill and toward Pinos direction ending in a large dirt lot adjacent to hwy. Follow singletrack parallell to hwy to McGill trailhead and head up to Pinos. This add on to Pinos will add about 5 miles each way making your Pinos ride just about 30 miles! The MX trail heading back is murder because of the sand and miday heat in the summer so watch out! Make sue you pack enough water. Alternate return route: return to Cuddy turnout via Singletrack which is parallell to hwy. Enjoy!kneecap said:What are the MX trails @ Mt Pinios?
We did Pinos a couple of weeks back, from very bottom to top, really tempted to head out north on the ridge trail @ top, but I guess that's wilderness, & don't know where it dumps out anyhow. Really pretty area, feels like you're really in the mountains.....well, I guess you are.
Have fun
Trail was in great condition. There were a few areas that are starting to get soft and sandy. The downhills are in really good shape.NappyT said:I will be going there this weekend for the first time. I am thinking about entering the race in Sept.
How was the trail? Do you have any tips?
Thanks
Yeah, we camped out there all weekend. Really did not see a whole lot of riders on saturday.....did 2 laps.the pup said:I was just there yesterday.
