This is a good route for intermediate riders who want an intro to Skeggs, and those wanting a shorter ride that avoids the infamously difficult climbs back out that Skeggs is known for. With roughly 6 miles and a little over 1000ft of climbing, it's a manageable ride for intermediate riders looking to get into rowdier trails or experienced riders who want a quicker ride.
Route Description:
Starting from the El Corte de Madera Creek Preserve Parking area (CM00 Gate), take the Sierra Morena trail to Oljon Trail. At the end of Oljon, turn left onto Spring Board. Ride a short distance on Spring Board to Lawrence Creek. Descend down Lawrence Creek to Blue Blossom. Take Blue Blossom (the highlight of this route) to Gordon Mill. Turn right onto Gordon Mill and you'll have a steady but manageable climb back up to the top. Once at the top of the climb, turn right back onto Sierra Morena and its a short easy climb back to the parking lot.
