Figueroa Mountain Rd

Post by dcarver »

Hey, found a new-to-me road!

Never been there before, so was excited to hear when ‘Barries Boyz’ decided to ride there. Had heard it was a goat trail, so Barrie called USFS who said ‘the road has been repaved so fire equipment and trucks get up and down faster’.

Sooo, off we go. I decided to ride the KTM ‘cause I googled the road and it sure didn’t look paved in some sections.

The 690 excels on goat roads, the twistier, more pot-holey the better!

But gotta say the drone back on 101 from Buellton was tough. When home, felt like I’d just ridden a 18 hour Saddlesore 1k!

Thanks for sharing.
