I can not do Saturday either. I was waiting to hear from Bikeman cause he was trying to set up another run on China Grade. I'll see what happens this evening on the email train and post back. Since i told him that i would be down if he was going, I would like to at least see if it transpires. Anyone is welcome to go to this GTG so I hopw some of you can make it. The scenery is worth it even if you didn't have a rig....I'll post more later. JB |

I'm probably going to the Dublin playground tomorrow with my brother to test out my new 1.9 Rok Lox. If anyone else wants to go, we'll probably be out there around noonish, possibly sooner |

Went to the Dublin playground today while the Superbowl was on and got some video of my truck These 1.9 Rok Lox are great tires! It was a good time to go to this place since there were only a few little kids hanging around but their parents had them under control so they never got too close http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbmoH6wRNOU |

| Had fun crawling with you guys in Dublin but there are so many other places to crawl/trail run that are better IMO. No kids, more lines, and not man made. If you guys are ever interested in going to some other spots let me know |

Nice vid's guys....I ended up going up to the "Lost Boys House" in Santa Cruz metal detecting with a friend. I brought the cruiser along but never drove it there. Nothing cool....We did hit up Bonny Doon for a little while as well. Too bad its kinda far because there are some great rock formations on the trail heading to the beach. There is also a trail with a trickle of water coming down it that is so incredibly scale that it was hard to leave. Solid rock face and loose rocks. Its just not super long. Bonny Doon Attractions in Google Earth 37° 0'2.98"N 122°10'49.52"W (Start point from parking lot) 37° 0'3.07"N 122°10'51.79"W (Main rock formation at Bonny Doon) 37° 0'3.31"N 122°10'52.80"W (start of scale trail-going back up farthest left trail from beach) Screenshot of Google Earth....Check it out! Close up of type of rock you drive on most of the time. They redid this section and its an easier walking path now.. :( Scale trail looks similar to this....FUN! Main rock trail....You can burn a lot of time driving down from the top to the bottom of this section trying everything... The scale trail is just below this section before you get to the last waterfall before the sand..(That waterfall is also drivable depending on how much rain has fallen recently). Peace, JB |

Jim you missed a killer Coyote Hills run (see video in above post) I'll be going out again next weekend rain or shine. Maybe Sunole? or Garin Park? I am game for anything.

Someone posted a place to go in Niles Canyon. I think that you follow the river bed and crawl if i am not mistaken. I am down to go as well depending on the day. Sunday usually always works best for me.... Talk to ya's later JB If you guys have not seen this video, it is a must! This is Bean Hollow and probably the baddest ass place to go! There is no loose sand either Grump..lol Just a little salt... Last edited by CruiserHead; 02-11-2010 at 05:32 PM. Reason: added video clip of the bean | |

Ive been scouting places in Niles canyon. I think the best we can do is go and park in the lot off of old canyon road. From there we can walk up stream. There is plenty of places to crawl right there. Or...I can have the wifey drop us off at the old parking lot across from the train depot halfway through. Hop the barrier and go all over. Its legal to hike back there, just cant park anymore. |

Never been there either, just heard about it. I am going to look it up on Google Earth. cant really see anything but i talked with a buddy of mine. He said its $7 to get in, then go about a mile and rock city is on both sides of us. Sounds pretty cool, I just want to hit up some local spots so if anyone has any other ideas, throw them out.
