DAvid couldn’t make Sunday’s ride, but a bunch of us have flexible schedules these days, so we put together a Berkeley ride on Wednesday. It was good MUni weather, a little windy when we started out but once it calmed down it was beautiful. We climbed all the way up to get the views, and had a bunch of fun playing on the obstacles on the way down, with DAvid pushing us (well, at least Josh and Kevin) to try some really big stuff.
Ostensibly inspired by a visit from our friend DAvid (turned out he couldn’t make this ride), we headed down to Soquel Demo for a celebration of Braille Trail. We had a good crew, with Bevan pushing Chris and the rest of us to do more trials, and an appearance by Ricardo (it’s been too long!)
We’d heard a rumor (from Chris) that there were some good loops in El Corte de Madeira (Skeggs Point) on the Peninsula. The verdict on Skeggs is that there is some really fun technical stuff, and a lot of smooth singletrack.
I’ve been working on adding a brake to my 24″ (Pittsburgh), and Dragon and I took it out on its first big Joaquin Miller ride. It’s not totally dialed in but it’s definitely promising.
