Went out to Lake Chabot today, and got in waaaaay over my head.

At the end of a bunch of rolling gravel hills with a bunch of 15%-18% grades, and at the top of this 20+% paved hill. This is before things got really ****ty.

Got separated from my friend, and I thought I was following him here. Tight, rocky, rooty singletrack with 25mm tires is ****ing terrifying.


There was a drop of what seemed like a couple hundred feet off to the right. The path was pretty much as wide as my handlebars.
