jstaguy24 Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Who here lives in a warmer part of the country? I am sick of the cold and not being able to ride for 4-6 months of the year. I am ready to move to a warmer climate where I can ride all year. Just dont know where to go. I love the sand dunes so there has to be some good dunes in the area also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffro Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Nothing Like Tucson, Arizona. Couple hours from glamis. Warm almost all year. Love this place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstaguy24 Posted February 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I have been thinking of either arizona, Southern Cal or Florida. I went to school in phoenix about 10 years ago. Spent all winter there and loved the weather Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erbilabuc Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 dont come to Florida cus there is nowhere to ride here. There are two legal spots in the entire state and they really arent worth bragging about. Besides Croom and Big Scrubb all there is are tracks. Sure its warm almost all year round but when you have to drive45 minutes through city traffic then 1-3 more hours on highway it sucks.

Wallrat Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Don't forget that the heat can be almost as bad as the cold. Places like arizona are typically well above 100 all summer long. Socal beaches are nice, but crowded . But the temperature range year round is usually about 55-85. I'm in Redondo Beach right near LAX airport. Pismo is 200 miles, glamis and dumont are both 230 miles. If you ski or snowboard, Big Bear is about 90 miles away and is pretty decent actually. Plus, several days of the year you can board in shorts and a tshirt. San Diego is incredibly nice. Same climate, and just a few hours to glamis.

Barracuda Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Phoenix is great. Ive been here for 3 yers now and the heat(its onlky relly bothersome when it 110 or more, but there is AC everywhere) IN cali, you better be ready to up with traffic out the ass. Not to mention, hope your rich, cause you aint buyin chit for a house under $400,000 or more.. Were 5 hours from Vegas, 3 hours to Flaggstaff for summer riding, skiing in the winter, Rocky point Mexico, Glamis, Lakes out the ass. Its awesome here! Roostking...

lincster Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Ditto on Az. I am in Mesa Az, part of Phoenix. I ride the dunes from Oct 15 to the end of March. Average is 65-70F during the day. Wouldn't give it up for anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MULLET~BOY Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 yeah az is pretty nice place to live i like it here but i get tired of 110 degree weather but like we are only a few hours away from cooler climate when its hot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Duece Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 socal high desert is nice, you can ride from your porch all year round the hottest it gets is 90 up here on the pass, and in the winter you get a couple inches of snow to ride in, your 60 miles from dumont, 20 minutes from mount baldy or big bear, theres 4 ama district 37 race courses within 20 minutes, theres baja runs, the beach is 80 miles away, las vegas is 2.5 hours up the interstate, the only draw back is every one has to drive to the bigger cities for work, but thats the price you pay for having a national forest in your backyard, unless your in a profession that can sustain you in a small town.....

Cotton eyed Joe Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 HAHAHA I understand completly Justaguy. We've had almost a month of temps below (some way below) freezing. It was 37 yesterday and it felt like summer. I can't move because of what I do, and where its at, but I take vacations every chance I get. Vegas this past spring, NV again that fall, but I passed up a trip to Vegas in december. Going to NV/CA in march, then hopefully Mexico this fall. It would be cheaper to just live somewhere nice wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rzcolobanshee Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I'm in the same boat, I can only ride the dunes here 4 months out of the year, so I'm moving to Oregon soon, it gets a little cold and rainy in the winter but you can still ride the dunes year round, might want to check it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
