Today I was one of 7 docents (volunteer leaders for Irvine Ranch Conservancy) on a Limestone Canyon Ride. Distance 11.6 miles, 1800' of climbing. Limestone is a closed area. You can ride through it only on a docent led ride so it make it cool as there are no other riders but our group. We saw deer, a tarantula and a bobcat. We had a great turn out - 20 guests and the 7 volunteers; so a large group. We climb up East Loma Ridge and then come down a fun, fast singletrack called "Sandtrap" (and yes aptly named). We travel up the Canyon to The Sinks (Mini Grand Canyon of Orange County) than back down the trail where we turned and climbed up to Limestone Ridge. Limestone Ridge is a fun; at times, scary, singletrack to Raptor. Down Raptor and then finish back on Limestone Canyon.

Perfect weather - started out about 50 and was around 68 when we finished...
