Santa Cruz Mountains today

Another beautiful day for a ride. Here are a few pics from the
Summit and the Corralitos area.

To poach or not to poach...

Looks like you had a better day than I did, Scott!! You were riding and I wasn't...

I had this past Monday off and it was another beautiful day for a ride.

I did about a 70 mile loop according to the GPS on this one - from the
beach up to the summit and back to the ocean again.

Poking around up in the woods looking for new trails





I found a nice new stretch of 4X4 road that turned into some sweet singletrack





Unfortunately it petered out to a dead end a mile or so down the ridge in thick
brush



One damn big puddle





Didn't look that deep but it came up almost to the top of the seat!

A side trip up to the gate at the top of the State Park. Not many vehicles
use this road except for mtn bikers.











Lunch






Some real good quality singletrack up here that the mtn bikers flock to. It's not posted
though and hikers/equestrians use it as well so I have no qualms about riding it on
my MC.

It had been raining hard up there and it was too wet to venture this one alone
not even any mtn bikers had the sack to try it today.




Onwards to the summit of Loma Prieta and...



Snow!!!









Loma Prieta summit





Some trails nearby





Uvas canyon/county park below on the east slope



Mt. Hamilton above San Jose in the distance - Lick Observatory on
the summit



Along the summit ridge and back down into the Pajaro Valley and home along
the Pajaro river levy



Pajaro rivermouth



That peak in the background on the left is Loma Prieta summit





Time now for you folks to get out and ride! Talking about mods and fixits only
goes so far, you need to git them things dirty!

Excellent Photos! I know more WRR owners then you ride. It is nice to see the ride photos. I know it is a pain in the a$$ to pull the camera out all the time but thanks for doing it.

+1 Thanks for taking the time and sharing the pics

That is so friken sweet. Jealous I am. Put on almost 200 miles on my bike in the last two weekends looking for something like that. Came up nil. Burning up the stock tires on asphalt looking for something fun. hopefully once some of the snow melts here in the higher elevations....

*keep the same coming. Love ride reports like this.

oh that is so epic! thanks for the adventure! the bike looks great with all the mods. you have a nice mixed bag of terrain to play with, very nice.

i am getting a camera monday, it was suppose to be here thursday, i'll get some good ones.
