Westside Joe’s Bikes sponsored an event this month, the Ultimate Alleycat and Scavenger Hunt. It seemed like something that needed to be done on uni. Turned out to be a beautiful day for 78km of varied terrain, including some muddy trails that were fun to slide on the big wheels. No biffs!
A group of us went on a quest to do The Whole Enchilada, and spent the last couple months training up for it. Unfortunately a storm came in and closed Burro Pass, the highest part of the ride at over 11k feet, but we were able to start at Hazard County which gets to about 9200′. It was a perfect desert day, and we got to experience the eclipse while we were up on the mountain.
It had been forever since we’d been to Soquel Demo Forest. Adrian was in town and Nick is now living in Santa Cruz, so we put together a quick group to go hit the longest continuous downhill trail in the Bay Area.
Finally catching up on processing photos and stuff from our trip to Moab. Organized by our friend Noli, we had about 30 riders for three beautiful days in the desert. Locals included Adrian, Sarah, and Berkeley ex-pat Ashley. I haven’t been to Moab since something like 2017 and it was great to be back.
