Weekend Warrior Summary:
even though the downhills are mostly fireroads, it is still a pretty fun ride. i did this on a rigid during the tour de julian and kept up with most of the group. its a little technical and you go at an average downhill speed (37 was my top) so nothing too hairy. the ride up banner grade was pretty sick. just gotta watch out for rattlesnakes and a dingo dog owned by a guy who owns an old H1 hummer and a whole lotta land. pretty fun though took me 39 minutes last time non stop. after riding that though, i was stoked to get a full suspension bike Recommended Route:
just ride Other recommended trails in the same area:
noble canyon, some arite trails in the paso picacho camp area, cuyamaca has bout 200 miles of trail go check it out.

Reviewed by: marleyvike
, from San Marcos Summary:
Yes, this trail kicks your ass. I first rode it in the late '80s before suspension. It was tough then and is just as tough now with a full suspension bike. Not for beginners as you are "out there." Bring plenty of snacks and water. This is the kind of route that makes mountain biking, well, mountain biking. Challenging. Recommended Route:
Down old Banner road (single track) from Julian, out Rodriguez Canyon, up Oriflamme Canyon, back to Chariot Canyon and then back up the old Banner road Other recommended trails in the same area:
Any other legal trail/fire road.

This trail is awesome and not for beginners or wimps. Yes there is a lot of fire road, but it is a huge loop, lots of climbing and the 2 downhills: Banner Toll Road and Rodriguez are muy bueno. Let me know if you make it up Oriflamme without stopping.

it's a crappy ride. if you like riding on well traveled fire roads then this ride is for you. lot's of steep hills with little reward on the downhill sections. let my loss be your gain - you are much better off finding another trail. Recommended Route:
only ride the single track to Banner
