Riding the hills of Whiting Wilderness Park

Great spot for an after-work-before-a-beer ride. The place is pretty hilly, the climb to Vista Look was steep and long but the view from up there worth the sweat. Only downside, we had to come back down the same way. Then we went up Mustard trail, it's an easy climb to Four Corners, then down through Cactus Hill trail, a great single track where two bikers were attacked by a Mountain Lion a few years ago. I was safe, andy had a knife on his camelBack! Then up to Vulture Rd and finally all the way down through Sage Scrub Trail (the greatest single track on that spot), Cow Trail, Shack Road and Serrano Road.



It's overall not too challenging although some climbs can be long, but the trail is wide and not technical. Trails are also used by horses so expect some unpleasant bumps. The single tracks are fast, have a good flow and the scenery is great.

Thanks to Andy who was my guide on that one. I don't much yet about the trails in Orange County but I can already say that there is good rider and friendly riders here.

Distance/Time: 11km, about 45minutes on the bike and maybe around 1000 feet total climb.
