Trail Wanderlust
The last couple of weekends I have spent some time riding and a little bit hiking around the northern part of San Diego County and into Riverside County. I was able to get out on the final northern section of the California Riding and Hiking Trail (CRHT) in San Diego County. One thing that has … Continue reading “CRHT – Beauty Mountain Wilderness”
Okay it is raining in Southern California and off the bike for a little bit so I might as well finish up on some projects that have been languishing on the hard drive for a while. Wilder Ranch in Santa Cruz is a really pictureque and fun place to ride, but hard to capture on video … Continue reading “Wilder Ranch Video”
A couple of weekends ago I did a combination of hiking and biking in the Descanso and Cuyamaca area doing a bit more of my ongoing project to assess all of the California Riding and Hiking Trail segments in the county. I have updated the interactive map on my page to reflect some of the … Continue reading “Cuyamaca Area CRHT”

Too early was my first thought as it was quite brisk (mid-50’s) and I was dressed for the heat to come. I started out at the San Diego River … Continue reading “Cuyamaca – ABDSP”

The first few miles of the Lower Dungeness trail can be brutally steep and … Continue reading “Lower Dungeness/Gold Creek”
For my second outing on the trails near Yokosuka, I paid a return visit to Ogusuyama. When I lived here in Japan for most of 2004 this was my twice a week lunch time loop. On this trip I was loosely going to follow that same route. That was the plan anyway. Things went a … Continue reading “Ogusuyama Wanderings”
Day Two had out at one of my all time favorites in the area, Little Creek Mesa. Sean had ridden one of the loops out here, but had not been out to the point so I was more than happen to do some showing around. We started out in the main loop and worked out … Continue reading “Utah Weekend – Little Creek Mesa”
There is a wildfire burning near Angelus Oaks, Barton Flats South Fork Area. Hopefully they can keep this contain south of HWY 38 and protect the homes in the area. It would also be a horrible for the Santa Ana River Trail or Wildhorse to burn. Major Bummer! LAKE FIRE UPDATE AS OF 6/19/15 @ 0658 HRS: … Continue reading “Wildfire threatening the SART”

The Coast to Crest trail is a long way from completed and our … Continue reading “Coast to Crest Bikepacking Trip”
