I live in Fresno and i was wondering where are the best places to ride around here are? I know of pismo but thats a lil far for right now..

 

Try http://bokasmo.com/pages/ohv/california/index.html

I like Kennedy Meadows, Bishop, and Mammoth area, but these are all on the EAST side of the Sierra (a bit of a drive for you). What about Jawbone or Spangler Hills? Sorry, I'm not familiar with the western Sierra.

 

I live in Clovis and have yet to find any really decent place to ride around here. I've riddin some places north of Hanford but they kinda sucked.

I'm looking to get some information on riding up in the mountains. I've heard you can ride the Forest Service Rds from someone in Tollhouse. I never seem to remember to contact the Forest Service for any information.

I belong to a club that is on Yahoo!. You can send me a private message if you want some more info.

We ride: Pismo, Hollister, Hungry Valley (Gorman) and "Hart Park" in Bakersfield.
