Today - yep!! Took the mtn bikes down to the 49th Ave Trailhead for Santos. Rode west to 484 (only about 4 miles) crossed over and continued west to the "hills from hell". Not sure if it was the weather or just not riding for a few days but those hills kicked my butt. Turned around before we made it to SR200. Crossed back over 484 and then checked out a new yellow trail that went back west. Coming back the hill going under 49th Ave about did me in. Had to get off about half way up and walk the bike. Overall only about 12 miles but REALLY hot. Afterwards, rewarded ourselves with a couple of lite drafts and salads. :-)
Is there a lot of people out on the trails there? I've never made it down there. Of course both of the friends that were riding with me have QUIT!! ... But maybe I can con them into a ride if we go someplace like that.... Worth a shot anyway.....
