Santa Rosa Plateau **updates**

The only way the Rangers would buy it is if we added an Arroyo Toad leg deep fry to the party. :lol:

 

How's the rest of the trails out there. The main loop can get pretty soupy in a few places. Were the other bridges affected? I never really parked across from the visitor center so it's not a big impact for me. About the only thing that that closure does is kills the Slaughter House connection. What are people doing now, riding the pavement to the other parking lot?

 

The SRP is closed again due to last weekends rains..Reopening expected this weekend..depending upon rain..

 

Yeah I got up hella early and drove out to the Plateau this morning and even convinced my lazy brother to wake up and meet me...... CLOSED #-o

 

Santa Rosa Re-Opening?

Does anyone know if SRP is open again? I was planning on riding tomorrow morning but don't want to waste my time if it is still closed.:?:

 

fyi just called up srp and they stated that they are now open. two sections are closed though however, one being where the bridge got washed out, and not too sure about the second.

 

Just got back from there, and the hiking lot across from the Horse/biking lot is open, but there is no access for bikes. Damn I wish they would just open back up.rotest:

 

I rode it when it first opened up...IMHO it still needed some dry time..the main entrance sylvan meadows trail had some real muddy spots and lower fence line was a disaster. The trails were getting pretty tore up in those areas. I think the closure is as much to let it dry out as it is to repair the bridges...All the small wood bridges going up stevenson were displaced.

I am not a fan of riding through a mud bogs..I don't mind waiting for a bit..

There is always - The Farm, Vail, the 951, Simpson (hemet) that are close by...and Sycamore canyon north and Daley Ranch south

 

Simpson and Sycamore have become my regular places while the Plateau has been down and out. Great places to ride, but cant beat SRP being ten minutes away.

 

closed

 

:lol: Too bad you cant double it.lol

 

Thanks, I found out too late. Packed up the gear, my buddy and I rolled out and found that it was closed. So we came home and went on a road ride. Either way we were turning gears. Thanks.

 

How is Simpson right now. I rode it once a long time ago and it was Really rutty.

 

Is Simpson pretty self explanitory meaning is it easy to get lost or is it nice and open like SRP? I've never ridden there and actually thought it was closed. Where's the 951? SRP is a nice quick after word ride that's like 10 minutes from the house if that but its really not that technical. It's like a quick hit to tide you over till you get the real thing. lol

 

Just rode SRP last night and its was a beautiful evening up there. I rode for a little over an hour and as I was leaving there was a parade of cars/trucks with bikes coming up the hill. Most of the mud is gone (only two spots I had a water crossing) and it was a great ride. Head on out and enjoy the goodness of SRP! :bang::clap:

 

Anyone know the status/condition of Slaughterhouse? I know Superman is still closed but I want to ride Slaughterhouse for the first time....

 

If SRP is closed shoot across the highway to FBMH. More land than SRP and more climbing.

 

SRP itself is open... I rode today but with a newb. Im curious specifically about Slaughterhouse although I do plan on checking out the farm. After the one time we couldnt hookup, I havent hit ya back up...

 

last time i saw slaughter house it was super hairy and also with poison oak.

 

Slaughterhouse is ridiculously overgrown and full of poison oak. Hit it up...if you dare!:bang::bang::lol:
