Summer riding safety: Even with coastal fog breeze and shade under trees, heat from sunlight can sap energy quickly. Bring LOTS of water to hydrate (minimum 65 ounces (2 liters)) and healthy high-carb foods to fuel. Watch out for rattlesnakes!
Great combination of single track trails (Idylberry, Goat, Queenstone, Ponti Ridge) and fire roads (Chicken Shack, Big Rock Ridge, Luiz, Queenstone). Cardiac ascents on fire roads Chicken Shack and Queenstone. Technical descents on fire road Luiz and single tracks Goat and rollercoaster on Ponti Ridge; brake-check before launching Surface condition of trails and roads well-worn hardpack with some loose small rocks on roads.
