OK, I rode Oakzanita Peak, East Mesa fireroad, West Side trail and the fireroad up past the Cuyamaca School area on Saturday, 12/19. Skipped some of the upper areas due to the high winds. The wind was temporary, so here's the scouting report:
Dirt is in excellent shape! Firm, slightly moist in spots, no mud anywhere. The problem, and it's a big one, are the blown down trees all over the place. The trees are a big drag, constantly breaking the flow. Once the rangers chainsaw them the place will be great again.
