If there is ever a shortage of good times while riding in Bonita, I have note seen it yet. Yesterday, I hooked up with the Bonita Bikers crew for some South Bay riding. I actually recognized a few of the trails on this trip, but was still treated to trails I had not been on before.
It was an awesomely pretty day out and the greenery of spring is here.

Our route for the day? Hell if I really know. Bob and weave here. Cross a street there. Drop into culvert other way over there. Oh yeah cool trails between all of that stuff.
With all of the grow, some of the singletrack is tricky as it easily hides rocks that can give you a little trip up if you are not paving attention. Hoserr working a climb.

Ahhhhhhh Singletrack!

In addition to the seemingly never ending cool trails down here, it was awesome to that extra hour of daylight freedom with the time change. There is nothing wrong with night rides, but having that late in the day sunshine to play in is just killer. I have no idea how many miles we did, but it was sizable and felt more like a weekend ride than a midweek ride. If you are interested in catching this ride during the week, it goes down every Tuesday and Thursday at 3:30pm from the the parking lot at the Performance Bike Shop in Bonita.
What a gorgeous day. I grew up in Bonita (BVHS Class of ’78) but moved long before the prime open space was covered with homes — it’s hard to believe there are still such nice hills and canyons to ride. If the trails in these photos are not yet profiled, could you please add them to your site? I’d love to ride them but I can’t make the Tue/Thur ride time.
