Mountain biking California - Soquel Demonstration Forest

in #cycling7 years ago

Hello all, I'm sharing my mountain bike ride from this morning in Santa Cruz, California. Below is a shot of my mtb which happens to be the same name as the county that I was riding, a Santa Cruz Blur LTc. The color matches the surroundings...

The ride was 18 miles and about 3,400 feet of climbing at Soquel Demonstration Forest. A few of the climbs were pretty tough with a few steep sections of 15%+...ugg.

GPS data is from a Garmin Vivoactive HR uploaded to Strava.

The parking is next to a running creek where I snapped a few shots as I find it really pretty with so much green around.

The creek,,,,if flows a lot more in the winter/spring.

The sun was illuminating this moss covered rock and it stood out.

Nice impressions, seems like you had a great ride.
Rather take a ride with your bike and see something of your beautiful earth than watching TV or similar.
Keep on going! :)
