My youngest son is playing on a tournement inline hockey team right now and he has practice at Kit Carson Park in Escondido every weekend. The rinks are just up road from Lake Hodges so I have been grabbing a ride there while Jake is practicing. You can grab some mileage out here and if you include Bernardio Mountain you can get in some good grunting. Here are few pics from a couple of weeks ago.
Here is a view froma bit of singletrack on the south side of the lake.
Out near the trails on the side side of the lake
Good springtime prettiness.
Hey Bill since you are the local MTB expert can you please contact me over email. I would love your input on a MTB event in the north county area in September 2012 supporting the rivers of hope foundation and the USO.
