Mountain Biking at Wilder Ranch
A brilliant day for mountain biking near the coast in Wilder Ranch State Park. We got in a four hour tour around the park: Engelsmann to Wild Boar Trail and Old Cabin Trail, over and down and around Enchanted Loop, up to the Eucalyptus grove and then, after a break, on up Chinquapin Trail to the northern border of the park, back down to the intersection of Enchanted Loop to do Twin Oaks Trail around and then finally up again on Wilder Ridge Trail to finish with Zane Gray Trail. Woo-hoo!

This is a collection of images from a two week trip to Thailand arranged through BikeHike Adventures. Most of the trip was guided by Daniel and Scott of Smiling Albino but the last four days were on my own in the Krabi region.

Mountain Biking around Tahoe
I went up to Lake Tahoe with Jeanie for the extended, Fourth of July weekend. After enjoying the fireworks at June Lake with her mom, we spent the rest of the weekend mountain biking on various trails around Tahoe. We started high up on the north side, wandering around looking for some suspected trails on the first day. On the second day, we did the full loop of the awesome Flume Trail.

Pumpkin Ride
The proper way to gather pumpkins for the season… on your mountain bike and in costume! Here’s the deal. Starting from the upper Purisma Creek parking lot (on Skyline), you ride in costume down a mix of single-track, fire roads, and paved roads to a pumpkin farm near Half Moon Bay. You select your choice of pumpkins, pack’em up, and then haul yourself and your pumpkin load back up to the top. Prizes are awarded in various categories including most weight (pumpkin that is) and best costume.
This ride is just one of many activities organized through ROMP — check it out!
