Mother Nature Hates Mountain Bikers-Pt II

For whatever reason, Blogger wouldn't allow me to have a single post with all of the pictures from this trip, so I've split the pictures into two posts. As I was saying, once I got to the single track there was one part of the trail that had collapsed into the ravine, but otherwise it was in good condition, considering the intensity of the storms in the past few weeks.


This is one of my favorite parts of the trail...it is nice singletrack, fairly steep, winding climb but for some reason I can always fly up the hill.


This part was the area I thought would have damage, as it's a little footbridge that crosses the creek, but as you can see, no damage at all.






The next area of concern was further up, where a real bridge crosses the creek on the way to Rock City (do a search for Rock City, Mount Diablo if you want to see more info about this area)





The bridge was in fine condition...



As was the trail that winds up the hill right after the bridge...




And that's pretty much the ride. A great winter ride and the trail survived the storms, sort of. Here's a picture of the damage shown in Part I, taken as I was riding back down the trail.


And here's another view of the beautiful hills...
