Loving the East Bay

In a recurring theme this spring, we were scheduled to go to Annadel but the trails there are too messed up, so we headed back to Joaquin Miller, where things were beautiful as always. We picked up another Bay Area transplant, Emele, who does a lot of street and impressed us with huge hops. Always good to have fresh blood!

Speaking of blood, I don’t think we even had a First Blood candidate; it was a pretty low-biff ride. We did have First Poison Oak; it’s gonna be a banner year for that stuff. I probably won Best Biff with a leg-bender on Chaparral, though Emele definitely won Best “Oh Crap He’s Gonna Biff Whoa Man I Can’t Believe You Saved That,” several times over.
