hey everyone, some of my friends and I havent been offroad in about a month and are planning a trip to cleghorn trail in California near Lytle Creek Rancho Cucamonga area this coming Sunday March 2nd in the early early morning, hence the term sunrise run. We have not decided an official time yet but the general idea is to either start the trail once the sun rises or be somewhere high on the trail as the sun is rising.
this trail is fairly easy and is 4x2 friendly but still has some places to give the 4x4's more of a challenge. run is open to everyone; a 4runner and a taco will also be coming from the TTORA forum so bring your friends.
some concerns are:
1. could there possibly be snow on some areas of the trail since it will be early morning(have seen ice before, can anyone validate or disprove this?).
2. early morning means people dont want to get up and go wheeling.
3. early morning also means its dark and some people arent comfortable with that because of poor contrast in the terrain.
please let me know any opinions on this or other ideas. we are thinking that we will meet at the Bass Pro shop off the 15fwy near Rancho at 5ish? express interest on this thread and I will start an official list and a more defined trail time. BTW, we could possible stop at the top of the trail to eat if you want to bring food to cook, just an idea.
Eric

Just a little FYI.. According to some reports, the Trail is BEAT UP! This winter has taken it's toll on it, and apparently the difficulty level has gone up.
But, aside from that, I'd love to go but won't be able to make it.

I was there about two months ago and it was fine, have the recent rains messed things up?

If you plan on being high on the ridge when the sun comes up, plan to be be at the trailhead 45 min. before. It'll take you a while to get up there. You'll be wheeling in the dark.

ya, were starting to think that we might get to the trail at sunrise instead. sounds a bit safer given the updated conditions.
