A gentle, abbreviated ride today on Chuck's route with Jeff. We started out shortly after nine, and I begged off half-way through to have enough time to shower and shave before a business meeting scheduled for 10:30.

Return to the Goat Trails

Sunday, 16 December 2012

I left home at noon and returned by 2 p.m.. after a short excusion to the Vons at Gene Autrey and up into the Goat Trails. It was tough, a proof that I'm not ready to bike into the further reaches of the Santa Rosa mountains. I had to stop quite a few times to catch my breath on the inclines around the water towers and to the circular trail at the top of the entry stretch. At least I have a first stake in the sand, a goal to surpass in the short time for Christmas break in Palm Springs.
