I got a front tire blowout around these curves on the way down. Fortunately, I was able to stay upright in part two tubular staying on the rim. However, my brakes were really heating up the rims. Times they were too hot to even touch and the glue was starting to soften, so I played it safe and took it extra slow and stopped a few times in the shade to let the rims cool down. A bit treacherous, but I was glad to make it down the mountain safely.

This next photo is from near Gibraltar rock where I turned around. A long ways up, but still a few miles from the summit

Selfie action shot. I did have a helmet, but it was hung from my handlebars during the climb. It was a warm day and I was feeling the heat.

View from part way up the Gibraltar climb. This is a long climb of about nine or 10 miles and around 4000 feet of climbing. Even though I went to school in Santa Barbara (Go Gauchos!), I have never done the climb before. I only made it about 6.5 miles to Gibraltar rock before getting called back down the mountain by my daughter, but that was enough.

I mostly saw hikers and MTBs on this trail.Some parts got a bit technical too. On this uphill stretch I passed an older couple, maybe in their 70s. As I passed, I overheard the man say, “Oh, wow! A real bike.”

Old construction in Wilder State Park. Once I got into the park I found a 7-mile loop up & around the ridge.

I found this pond by surprise. I was blindly following a rails trail when I turned a corner and came across this picturesque pond.

Several retired fighter planes are on display throughout the island, including this one in front of one of the high schools.

Found a nice bench by the water where I enjoyed a pastry and coffee with views of the bay and former naval base.
