Thanks for the website tip. I checked it out and it is very helpful. I'm used to mostly open desert riding (Ocotillo Wells, Johson Valley, Stoddard Wells, etc.) and a little bit of dune riding (Glamis, Pismo, Dumont). I have not been past Pismo, and a lot of the NO. CAL. riding pictures look very different than what I am used to. That is the reason I was hoping to get some feedback from actual riders on which spots are worth putting on my "to-do list." Are you from Northern California?

Yes, I'm just east from sacramento. Most of us are from this area. Tahoe has a lot to offer far as many fire roads, rock crawling, and other OHV trails. I would say ride with someone that knows the area. My favorite spots are the rubicon and fordyce which have a lot of rock crawling. Let us know when you are planning on being up in this area and hopefully some of us can show you around.Rode That wrote:Are you from Northern California?
Thanks for the tips. I ride a quad (Honda 400) and my buddy rides bikes and has a supped up samari. We are trying to make a list of all CA riding spots that are worth seeing. We've got So Cal covered, but No Cal is totally unknown territory. I've heard some incredible things about Rubicon. Is there anything there for quads or is it mostly for jeeps?
Your suggestion about riding with someone who knows the area is a good one. I don't know when we'll be able to make it up there, but it would be great to meet some people familiar with the trails.

You can do the Rubicon on a quad....look at our photos...we do it all the time. But be prepared...it's a workout and hard on equipment...and don't go alone.
