Impromptu Cleghorn Run - March 3rd, 2011
« on: March 08, 2011, 12:37:35 AM »
Work sent me out to San Bernardino last Thursday, and afterwards, I had a few hours free before heading home to Riverside. Cleghorn was only about ten miles away, so off I go!

As I would be going by myself with a fairly stock 2WD X, I aired down and took it slow and light, ready to turn around as soon as I came across something that would be too much to handle. After running Big Bear and Anza Borrego with the group last year, I found out real quick what was and was not possible in 2WD. The recent rains left enough puddles and ruts along the trail, but it was better then what I expected: it was perfect to run when choosing the right lines. About three-quarters of the way up, I ran into a few snow spots. The view from up there is pretty sweet! Soon the trail was covered in snow, so I turned around and made my way back down. It was a great way to get out for the day! Just enough to keep the X dirty. :)

Looking over the hills towards Wrightwood, near the start of the trail:

Nice!  It sounds like you had some wind or maybe that was just the placement of the audio in the video.

Thanks! Yep, both contributed to the noise. The wind was consistent, but not so strong to have to lean into it.
