The whole ride can be finished in just a couple of hours and is a great ride in the middle of Escondido if you dont have all day. Lake Hodges - There are two areas of Lake Hodges that are generally unfamiliar to all but the local riders. This is an access road for the telephone company to repair the high power lines. This road is very hilly, unlevel and varying in condition. I would recommend this to those individuals who like to hill climb and fast down hills.
Second area is the lake trail.
To locate this area, ride to the south side of lake Hodges down and across to the water fall, follow the main trail to the lake and bear to the right. Once on this trail, you are single tracking around the lake. This is an advance trail, with low overheads, steep hills and challenging terrian. I am planning on an all day and will let you know the outcome. Go to where the fishermen park, ride the trail to the I-15 bridge.
