Las Vegas, Nevada

Pas mal une des plus belle portion de ride que j'ai pu capturer. La position de la trail sur le ridge de la petite montagne était parfaite, de même que le soleil qui descendait tranquillement à l'horizon. Je vais essayer de retrouver le nom de la trail et la poster ici.

Cottonwood Trails, las vegas

Glad to be back on Cottonwood's trails. This is place is still one of the best I've ridden. So fun.

Hurley Creek Trails, Idylwild, CA

Un autre spot pas mal intéressant à quelques kilomètres de Idyllwild. C'est le lieu de quelques courses et les pistes sont super bien entretenues, bien développées pour le vélo. Par contre ça n'est aucunement indiqué et c'est facile de manquer les bouts les plus intéressants, quoi que la carte qu'on trouve sur le web fait quand même une bonne job. J'ai fait 35 km cette journée là et y'aurait plus de trails à rouler.

Alvin Meadows Trails, Idylwild

Another amazing day riding near Idylwild, southern California.

El Moro Canyon, Orange County

A ride with my good friend and guide Andy.

Trabuco Canyon and Holy Jim

My first ride of the season. I'm not totally prepared and a bit out of shape to fully enjoy that ride. The ride on the lower part of Trabuco Canyon starts nicely with a few nice technical sections. But as soon as I take West Horsethief, heading up to the main divide road, the ride becomes a rather long hike-a-bike. The conditions are perfect however so it's not that painful, just quite long.

On top of West Horsethief I get on the main divide road, where a couple more good climbs are awaiting me. After a couple hours pushing and riding my bike I finally end up on top of Holy Jim, the reason why I came here. I start the descending single track with a lot of excitation. The trail is fast, meandering around small trees and offering an impressive view on the valley where I came.

First disappointment: the camera ran out of battery. I won't bring back good images from this trip. Second one: a flat tire about half the way down... Spare tube in is the car... It sucks to finish such a nice ride walking the bike down while I had to walk it up.
