SunFair Dry Lake
SunFair Dry Lake
Its out near Jays place.... Yucca Valley.
Date: To be determined
This is more than a dry lake, real good riding out in the hills....
1/2 mile drags on the lake bed are no problem, gear yuor bike 16 x 22 and hang on!
This is a real good place for a group ride, weather permitting...
Jay, when is a good time? Oct / Nov?

This will have to be in October/November? At least if the whole Family is to go. This is a very hot place.....not hell but, you can see it from there.
I am in, this is just down the road a ways for me! Been there many, many times.......Love the high speed wash rides, running cut throat! The crashes, the roosting, the danger! The sand hill rocks!
Don't mind the cast on the left arm!

Sunfair Dry Lake
From Dirtopia, The Off-Road Encyclopedia
Sunfair Dry Lake, also known as Coyote Lake, is located two miles north of Highway 62 between the towns of Joshua Tree and Twentynine Palms in San Bernardino County, California. Sunfair Dry Lake has miles of trails, some easy and some quite challenging, surrounding its "shores." There are some nice areas for jumps near the Joshua Tree Campground, as well as some dunes in the eastern-central section of the lake.
Directions
Approximately three miles east of Joshua Tree on Hwy 62, turn left onto Sunfair Road. Sunfair Road will end at Joshua Tree Lake, a small fish pond and campground that offers a nice place to camp in the winter months. The dry lake bed may be accessed by turning right on any number of roads located AFTER Broadway. However, Broadway is the easiest way to get directly to the lake bed. Do not use the land to the right of Broadway as this is private land.
Respect this privilege please as this area is one of the few areas in the Morongo Basin where offroading is still legal.

Bob, no one wants to ride with your big wookie ass! So, stay home.AlisoBob wrote:If I come out for this one, will I be "dissed", or will I be accepted by the cool "click".
I dont want to come all the way, if I dont get to ride.....
Also, if my wife is PMSing , can she still come.

It does get windy and blow dirt sometimes out there so you have to come with the right attitude or it can suck.

This is another great place for the Family if weather is right. Big flat area for the small kids to ride. Close to town and close to the Lewis's house if something breaks and need spiecal attention. I can really unwind when I am there because you are not stuck out somewhere with no hope of fixing what breaks. Jay stuck a rock through his side case once way up by the 29 MC base. A little epoxy and 40 minutes round trip to town to get oil and we were on our way back to camp. We were so far from the dry lake bed that Jay ran out of fuel on his XR but, even with all that riding we were never more then 20 miles from some town to go too. Biggest ride is all the way through the mountains to Desert Hot Springs. There are easy 100 mile pluss trips like that with easy gas fill if you carry a little oil.
This is my most favorit place to go for easy rides........don't let this one fall though the cracks. Nothing spectacular but, has a little of everything desert. Fast sand washes, steep sand hill, flat dry lake bed, good hard dirt roads, rocky single track, whoops....no forest, no big MX tracks, some small jumps, drop off's.
