On our way to visit family in San Diego we had a short stopover to ride by Idylwild, CA. In 2003 and 2004 we raced 24 Hours of Adrenaline bike races in Hurkey Creek as part of a 5 person coed team and won! We reminisced as we rode the old coarse and some add ons.
The San Jacinto Mtns loop large as the backdrop of this area and they really are impressive. A fire burned through this area in both 2013 and 2018, long after we were gone, but the evidence is still there. The trails are pretty much as I remember..a fair amount of climbing, a lot of ruts, some sand, and good fast downhills. We added on some less popular and more rustic trails to make the ride longer.
What a trip back in time!
