So Friday afternoon we went on a scouting expedition to scope out the Dual Slalom course here in Riverside. We had heard about it but had never taken the bikes. So Roger decided to hike to the top and took some photos and then proceeded invite some some friends to check it out. So the decision was made to meet at 6am this morning. We loaded up with water, a pump, my camera and a chair for the Denmo and headed up the hill. The boys ended up riding from 6-9am and had a blast. I managed to get some decent photos which I will post later today.

We are going back tonight at 6pm with some tools to do some clean up and repair. And then back again tomorrow at 5:30am for some more sessioning. If anyone wants to join us, let me know! It's on Dufferin & Myers. You park at the end of Myers and then cross the aquarius then walk up the hill.

Based on Cross streets they gave here is a map
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/Dufferi...side+CA+92503/

It easy from where you are. 91 East to Van Buren, make a Left off freeway then and then Right on Van Buren. Then a right on Dufferin and Left on Meyers.

Me too I am curious to see this, thats not far from one of my best friends house when I was a kid.

Reedster · 06-22-2008, 09:43 PM

Yea, I wanted to go, but had another obligation. It can't be more than 10 miles from my house, so I would love it if it was something good.

Let's see those pics.

I have ridden it before (about 1 year ago) and its pretty good for being there and already built. The only complaint I have is that random people are always hammering it on either MX or trucks near the bottom. It is pretty fun though, someone spent some serious time building it up. It is definitely better than the average session spot.

Just_me · 06-23-2008, 07:09 AM

sorry for the delay in posting. We worked on the track last night and then rode again tim dark. Forgot to check STR when we got home. We are riding again this morning (got a late start). Will try again to upload pics this afternoon.
