Beautiful ride though the hills and coastlines of the north East Bay. Tracked in Google My Tracks, which works great on the phone but is a pain in the a$$ to share or convert. Lots of cyclist out today. Total riding time was 4 hours with average speed of 13 m/h while moving.
Training for Diablo Trail Challenge. Briones is great for intervals. Gorgeous day -- sunshine, wildflowers, and cool breezes. Took time for a bit of sunbathing at Ivan Dickson Memorial and Briones Peak. Not too much mud but the trails are soft enough for good traction. Perfet conditions!
Laguna Mountain Rec Area, BLM
A pleasant day hike with my son on a warm summer day. Redwood, Roberts, and Joaquin Miller Park, with a final stop at Chabot Space and Science Center.
A perfect lunch hike with my favorite little girl! She walked the whole route, even up the big hills. Along the way we found snake skins, a turkey feather, and "Eukie" the beetle.
I celebrated National Trails Day out on the trails, naturally! I only had time for a half day hike but tried to make the most of it with several steep climbs in the local trails of the Martinez Hills. It's always a treat to visit Mount Wanda and the trails where John Muir shared his love of nature with his daughters, and an especially fitting location for training hikes in preparation for...
Pogonip, UCSC Open Space, and Wilder Ranch. Awesome :-)
The single track back down to Nejedly from the cemetary is not goood, dead ends in the poison oak brambles. There's a much better route I'll map next time.
