These trails are very easy, lots of beginners or people who don't ride trails a lot enter this race. The trails I ride up at West Mag are more difficult and some sections I get off and walk. I avoid super technical/rocky trails because I don't have the skills or nerve for those. I like nice smooth single track but the mountains aren't always obliging. It is the Rocky Mountains after all so sometimes I have to hike-a-bike for a little bit.Elaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02734583197185810124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11345288.post-13028561203173987092011-08-22T09:39:23.107-06:002011-08-22T09:39:23.107-06:00What a couple of perfect bday gifts--the lessons a...What a couple of perfect bday gifts--the lessons and the day off with a ride in the hills. I was just discussing my local park, where I hike often witht he dogs because it's close, with a friend who hikes & climbs & bikes and she pointed out that some of the trails are rated extremely difficult for biking (http://bayarearides.com/rides/santateresa/), and I had to blink and think about it a bit. Your post makes it a little clearer why.Elfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01827436807468320435noreply@blogger.com
