Adrian was in town, and suggested a ride in Joaquin Miller given the wet weather around the Bay. Sunday morning was quite pleasant, but the week’s storms had left fallen limbs and other litter all over. Made for some interesting riding on the park’s ever-changing trails. A lot of slippage on wet roots, although surprisingly there wasn’t much mud.
We’re still prepping for California MUni Weekend next month, so we had another ride out in Joaquin Miller. Ricardo’s still hoping to clean Chaparral on his 29er, but frankly it looks like it’ll take some trail rebuilding, because Chappy’s gotten chunkier and chunkier.
The monthly BTCEB Gala Ride was in our MUni stomping grounds, Joaquin Miller Park, so we took a crew up there to show the two-wheelers a thing or two. Great day as usual!
I’ll take any excuse to ride MUni. Last week it was an easy ride on the Oakland Pump Track and the Big Trees loop in Joaquin Miller, with Kostya, Campbell, Ricardo and me on uni, Vicente, Jeronimo, and Nikolay on bike, and Maria on foot. A good time was had by all.
