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.
It was super-hot this weekend, so we decided to go to a place with “Forest” in the name. It was still pretty hot in Soquel Demo. Great two-sport day!
