ATV rubicon trail RIDE – (THIS IS NOT A SPONSORED RIDE AND EACH RIDER PARTICIPATES AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE AND RISK.) The dates to enjoy the ride on the rubicon trail have not been set yet, probabaly late June or early July. I'm planning it opposite of the Jeepers.

This will be a great chance for all ATV enthusiasts who only know each other via the ATV Boards to get together, meet each other and ride the World Famous rubicon trail. This Trail is rated a 10, one of the roughest trails out there. Based on my experience from the trail, I am going to make a few recommendations that it is a must that your quad be a 4X4, also that each quad have a winch and a skid plate (this is not mandatory, however, highly recommended). If you do not have a winch, there will be plenty of riders to help.

THE PLAN will be to meet at the base of the dam at Loon Lake and be on the trail no later 10:00 a.m. Plan on meeting in the afternoon, riding out 1 day, spending the night, and riding back the next day. (If we choose to stay at Rubicon Springs, we may reserve the main campground, if there are enough of us. Reservations for each ATV is $15.

SUGGESTED SUPPLIES 1 – We will all need to take extra gas, at least 5 gallons – two 2 1/2 gallon cans. 2 – Plenty of water. 3 – Bring the proper clothing. It gets chilly at night and morning. 4 – Appropriate camping gear and food. WE SHOULD ALL RIDE RESPONSIBLY AND REMEMBER THAT SAFETY COMES FIRST. COME PREPARED TO HAVE FUN. Please notify me if you plan to join us, as I need a head count for reservations at the Rubicon Springs Campground. Any questions, feel free to e-mail me ros190charter.net

 

I wish I could join you, but I'll be hitting the trail later in the year. My wife and I will be making the ride during the first week of October. The weather is still warm, but hardly anyone is out on the trail. Last year, we made it to Spider Lake before we saw anyone else. I've done the Rubicon regularly since 1986, and have grown tired of the traffic jams and beer drinking idiots on that trail. Granted, some are funny, especailly when they wreck their rigs in Little Sluice, but I found that post-Labor Day riding is more enjoyable.

gdr, any chance you might change the date? We would enjoy having some more riders with us.
