Saturday 's track lo o ked m ore like a
motocross track in turns one and two until after
th e time trials. Then the track cre ws smoo thed it
up and let the war begin. Orr once again looked
like the ma n to beat, but Braddy had his Scott

Hi Mountain Dual Sport
maintains tradition
By Mike Stapler
POW,CA. FEB. tr
It seems as though 112 dual sport rid ers and a
small group of college stu den ts ow e the environmentalists a thank you of sorts.
February 27 marked the third running of the
Cal Pol y Penguins ' Hi Mo u nta in Dual Sport
Ride, an event which serves as a replacement for
the Hi Mountain Enduro of years past.
In 1991 the mduro never happened because em';'
ronmental impact reports neglected to include the .
pood turtle, whidl enviromnentalists capi talized on.
effa:tiveIy killing the eoduro, Out of its ashts rose the
Hi Mountain Dual SportRide.
Thi s yea r's 140 roile course again used the
Ca l Poly campus in San Luis Obispo as a staging
area. Th e route qu ic kly led the riders o u t o f
town and onto sce nic Pre fu m o Canyon Road,
which offe red views of the su rr ound ing cou ntrysid e, Morro Bay and the Pacific Oce an .
After winding d own See Canyon Road the
riders foun d themselves in the first of many sections that would len d uni queness to the event - a
mile stret ch of Pismo Beach.
Following the sands of Pismo, the riders hit
the pav em ent on Lopez Drive for the trip out to
Hi Mountain Road, a d irt road complete with
swi tchbacks, stream crossings and great v iew s '
of the Santa Lucid Wilderness.
More pavement then gree ted the riders, who
followed Pozo Road out to the Pozo-LaPanza OffHighway Vehicle Area , home to the most difficult
sections of the ride. The less adven tu rous or more
street-orien ted riders could bisect the area via a
graded d irt road. For th ose riders whose tastes
ran towards trai ls, two opti onal loops were incorporated. Both offered singletr ack trails, rocks,
ruts, and whoops for rider amusement.
After playing at Pozo, the rid ers p icked up
Highway 58 which led to the seco nd unique section. Alan Stevens, a local ranch er and mot orcycle enthusiast, lent a section of his land to th e
Pen guins that had two motocross practice tra cks
on it, both of which proved to be challengin g
venues for wringing out a dual sport bike.
The nex t stop was at another ranch. courtesy
of Mike Ryan, which included an eight-mile
loop an d a barbecue lunch. The loop cons isted of
wooded trails, some fast fire roa ds , an d a cree k
crossing which left an interestin g odor clinging
to the Jess cautious .
Paved roads led the group back to San Luis
Ob ispo after a day well spen t with friends and
motorcycles. Though th e Hi Mounta in Enduro
will always be missed, the comradeship of the
Hi Mou ntain Dual Spo rt Ride will remain, and
the members of the Cal Poly Penguins might be
able to catch up in school inst ead of floundering
in the massiv e wake created by organizing an
enduro.
