Yeah I was thinking return via Table Mesa Rd.

I'm going riding somewhere tomorrow. This sounds interesting - especially since the 530 is down and the 950 SE is the available steed. Now I don't want too easy.

Are we talking N Cerro Road (http://goo.gl/maps/nIkGe) gnarly? Like 15 degree off-camber, baby heads and ledge-steps all at once traveling very steeply uphill?

The more riding and terrian variation the better - I don't mind rocky two track - endless sand stretches not so much. Make the call on the staging location and the time and I'll be there.
