Late Season Rubicon or Berrett trail Run ...

[TOD]

We've never done the Rubicon or Fordyce Trails. I have stock height XP4 and I've always wondered how it would do on those trails.

When arriving at Fordyce Lake, there is a road that goes to the left, just before the house. Have you guys gone down this road in a rzr? It look spretty gnarly.

Isn't the Barrett Jeep trail supposed to be the most extreme trail in this area?

that is the exit from committee crossing on fordyce.......thats nothing...compared to some of the other spots on the trail
that section is doable with a stock xp4..as well as the trail itself, just a bit challenging

I sure would like to know the definition of "doable". I guess I'm a wuss; we went a mile or so down that trail, and I thought it was plenty challenging.

I also did just part of the Rubicon once (about 7 miles starting from Loon Lake) and it beat me half to death! I was on my bone stock 50", with 25" tires and no power steering, but just over 13 miles (round trip) took 11 hours! You guys have my utmost respect!

I am up for a Rubicon run. Would you come in from the Tahoe side or from loon lake?

I did Barrett in August. That trail is rough. Personally, I think it is a weekend trip. There is so much to see once you get to the end of the trail. You wouldn't have time to take much of it in. On the way in, the backpackers beat us to camp, LOL, but going back out it only took us 2 hours.

Yeah I would really like to do a Rubicon run. It looks like the at least the first weekend in November would be the soonest I could go but will have a better idea on a date here in a week or so.

I'd be down for starting on the Tahoe side, I've started at Loon both times I've been this summer.

The second weekend of Nov works best for me, that's my next weekend off so

Tahoe side is fine with me. I cannot make it Saturday 12th, but first weekend, 13th, or weekend after is good for me.

I forgot I will be up in Stonyford the weekend of the 12th but I think I am free the following weekend.
