2008 we held our first Ride in the Rocks event and it was a smashing success for riders, and organizers.In Lucerne Valley we have the perfect terrain and the perfect weather, it is hard to go wrong with a combination like that.
2009 did more of the same. We have slightly lengthened the Challange Course to take out that long stretch of pavement, replacing it with a beautiful new section of single track, see Challange map.
If you like rocks, and sand washes, cactus and Joshua trees and best of all clear blue skies and pristine air, then this is the ride for you. In the High Desert we have October temperatures in the high seventies that help to extend our riding weather deep into the fall season.
2009 we still had the Tame 10 mile course for those not into extreme riding. See Tame Ten Map. We also added a Five Mile Run/Walk course for those who like to feel the ground beneaththeir feet. See Five Mile Run/Walk map.
Ride in the Rocks took place in the scenic little town of Lucerne Valley, California. We are located just 30 miles north of Big Bear Lake, and 102 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
