Pine Valley 4/24

A friend and I (taco as well) never been to this place & been wanting to go, reading all stories/excitement on the forums seem a nice place for PreRunners too.

However, due to the recent weather conditions, will Pine Valley be PreRunner friendly? Unless somoene with 4x4 here wants to join us? Yet, anyone can join!

Thanks yall

 

You should be fine. There's one area that may be rutted out pretty bad, just be careful.

 

Depends on how the weather is out there. 7 inches of snow is supposed to drop in Mt Laguna 5 miles away.......might be a bad weekend for a group of PreRunners.

 

I doubt that by Saturday there will be any snow left.

 

Probably not

But there will be plenty of slush/muck/mud/ruts/broken tail lights/busted bumpers , Friday and Saturday are only going to get up to 60 out there so its not going to dry out quickly.

 

Busted tail lights?!!?!


Yeah you guys should find a 4x4 just in case! More than likely you'll be ok, but you never know.

 

Thanks fellas, i guess i'm missing out this weekend

 

If you both head out you'll be fine...usually I'd be down but I have other plans. As long as you're not alone you'll be fine. I assure you.

 

bahahaha

 

I was just up at pine valley last weekend and the final down section before the helicopter pad was pretty rutted out...and that was before rain. The big rut that got derek doesnt look as bad, like you could probably go around it easy, but coming back up the last part might be tough. I'd go with someone 4x4 just in case

 

HAHA

Like everyone said. If you go this weekend, it should be REALLY fun. It'll be muddy and with prerunners you will have to get some momentum going up some of the muddy inclines but you should be ok.
Last time I went out with the TW guys when it was drizzling/snowing (towards the top) I made it without any problems & I have a prerunner. I don't think it'll be a good idea to go down that long decline towards the heli pad because the only way out is through that same trail & if it's muddy, it'll be pretty tough to get out without at least a locker. But up until that spot, you will be fine.

 

i'd love to go but i have an afternoon event that i cant miss.
next time i guess


enjoy you guys

 

Hello Guys,

I just got back from Pine Valley & I have to admit it was good first time experience. Even with the recent weather conditions I did not have one single problems at all. It was my first off road trip ever!!

I can't wait to run with you guys on the next upcoming event. However, Matt (RecklessTaco) did messaged me to ride with his group but I couldn't bail out on my friend who's been wanting to goto Pine Valley. (4x4 Ford ;/)

Here are the pics







Since my friend didn't have a camera on him, I decided to take some picture of his Taco while driving lol

 

Glad you guys made it...it was nasty last time. Pine is nice and bumpy. A little fast for my pace. But always have fun out there.

 

i shoulda gone! Glad you guys enjoyed it!

 

Dude, I rolled right past you going up I8 east yesterday on my way to another run ! & saw you again cruising thru Pine Valley.....

 

Hahaha NICE!! Black Taco is actually my buddies ride. Did you happen to see the White Taco (mines)?

Went to another run?? ahh you got to invite me next time!
