Since this ride is still an NSA-level secret, there's not a lot I can report, except that the trails between Sweetwater and Steele Canyon were awesome, and the singletrack we took off the Secret Mountain were a blast. I liked this route way better than the one we did in late December, and would definitely go back.
I had to cut it a little short to help a friend move, so I ended up doing a little pavement riding at the end that could have been trail. My conditioning also wasn't outstanding but riding with Nate always makes me feel humbled because he's such a strong rider.
Nate pointing out that we'd be doing some climbing:
The rain made things really green and beautiful:
Even with the clouds, we had some impressive views:
Horses? What horses?
Into the abyss...
I also shot a short video of Nate hitting a jump. I didn't hit this one, but after seeing him make it look so easy, really want to try it myself next time...It was a fun ride, and the singletrack descents were awesome. I also hit a small gap jump in the middle of the ride that sneaked up on me, which felt really good. I would like to get back out here again soon, and try to find a route that combined the stuff we did today with some of what we did a few weeks ago as well. We'll see...
