Feeling Fall

 "Dude your standing in Poison Oak." Nothing like "friends" to smile when pain and suffering are coming your way. Sean and Sergio and I met up with Arch to ride Annadel. My first ride in the fog this year.
Lucas and I took advantage of the rain and made a run on PCP. It was so cold we pulled out the wool sock and had to put on jackets for the descent. The sand was sticky and we had the whole thing to ourselves. Awesome day on the upper mountain. I hope we get a few more before the snow hits.

Kicking off the end of summer

 Dan from Victory Vello came down for Labor Day to ride some new terrain. I took him up to our version of mountain biking paradise. Awesome ride, I just wish I could have kept up.
 After climbing Lupine and Castle peak we descended; Upper Willow, Lower Willow, Snakedance, and Lower PCP. So tired!
 The next day Dan and I took our oldest boys for a shuttle down Ridge. Gage is loving the lava.
 It was Devon's first experience with technical trail but he did great.
 The new section has made Ridge trail much more fun for kids and adults. 
 Last weekend Sean and I ran down to Santa Cruz and rode Demo for the day. It was cool reading MTBR's Enduro Comparo after riding the same trails they used for their evaluations. 
 So many things to ride on, you just have to make sure you can handle the landing before you go off it. this is one of the mellow log rides. 
If you knew the place you could jump this pretty safely.
