Caligirl,
Thanks for the info, Geology Tour Rd. is why I asked about the sand. Going down is not so bad but going up, yuck! The sand just slams your bike to a stop. We have taken Geology Tour to Berdoo Canyon and rode all the way down to Dillon Rd. That was great fun and very easy, but you need a car on Dillon Rd. to get back to JT, we were lucky and got someone to drop us off in the park and then pick us up 4 hours later on Dillon Rd.

The "Goat Trails" are only a couple of miles from me so I ride there durning the week when my kids are in school. Because of time restraints I have not been out to Palm Desert to ride yet but plan on riding the "Bump and Grind" within the next few weeks, hopefully before the New Year.

Maybe I will see you on the trail sometime. Jones.
