We had our last training ride for Moab this weekend. After getting beat
up last weekend in Rockville Hills Park, I was looking for something
strenuous but low-impact. Four of us (plus a bicycle) set out on the
Redwood Loop, a 10-mile loop on fire roads, and then the two of us who
are going to Moab dropped down on the technical singletrack through
Joaquin Miller Park.
The loop is low-UPD; only some mud bogs and steep uphills knocked
people off. It is really more 29er/Coker territory, but I was on my
24" for a final shake-out ride. There is a fair amount of stuff to
play on off to the sides of the trail. It was really tiring; I made it
all except one of the hills, including one I'd never made it up before.
I got 'photos, and video' (

riding some nice logs, and biffing badly on one.
See you all in Moab!
