Regulars Bruce, Rob, and David, plus new to our series, Ken Jones joined me for an exploration of the trails in and about the Crockett Hills Regional Park. Everyone suffered our lack of local knowlege, putting up with frequent map checks, and questions of strangers about where the best routes were. As usuall, we bit off a little more than we could comfortably chew, except for Rob on his new cross bike, in which he absolutlely schooled us throughout the day. I was relieved to see big smiles on everyone's faces when we got back to the cars. We debriefed over good food at the little cafe in town, and then headed back to Alameda around one o'clock.

Our next MTB ride on Aug. 21st. will be back to something mellow, probably the Lake Chabot Loop. Please plan on joining us for some more good times in the dirt!

Be well,

MacGyver
