Winter trail ride in So. Cal. 12/10/14

. Luckily, it's been raining a bit out here, maximizing the traction conditions of the local trail areas. We had partly cloudy skies last Thursday, and shirt sleeve temperatures out at Corral Canyon. And now, it's raining again, so we will have another nice weekend.

This is a view of Spur Meadow trail, from up on Los Pinos truck trail.

Mr. Threehoney, roadside.


We are braving the brutal winter conditions out here.








Also the first time I have given chase to another rider, while trying to stay close to them with the GoPro recording. A little tough at times, since I like to go at tourist speeds, and Jeff kicks it up a little higher than that. Since he wasn't too familiar with some of the trails, I had to engage in the motorcycle version of backseat driving, two or three times to ensure that he took the correct route.

Usually I'm in the lead, and moving at a relaxed rate of speed. Even so, Jeff sometimes comments about eating roost from the 300. When following him, I have not had a camera running in the past, so I was able to mosey along at a safe and clean distance.

Looks fun, gotta try that area some time.

Not a bad idea.

I'd be up for that!

Wanna be our guide?

Ooh, ooh! Pick me!

I could bring my honey, then we'd have another lady.

The more, the merrier....up to a point, anyway.

DD volunteered as a guide. So how bout working on a date. Winter in So Cal is about 35 seconds long, so not much time left.

Weekdays are the best, but that probably doesn't work for most people. February, March are good months, still nice and cool and a good chance of rain. Discuss amongst yourselves....
