Washout on Alpha Trail in the McDonald Dunn Forest

Last winter there was a big washout on the road that goes to the Alpha Trail in McDonald Dunn Forest.  The washout is about 300 feet long and 50 feet wide.  There is a small path around the washout although it is on a bit of an overhang.  I have heard word that a bypass trail has either been built from the ridgeline trail or is on the way.  Next winter I expect this to get much worse.

 Nice view since all of the trees are gone in the washout.

 

 

 

Dusk mountain bike ride

Yesterday evening I went on a dusk mountain bike ride.  I rode up and down Dimple hill and tried out my new SSCP7 Bike Light from GeoManGear.com.  Worked wonderfully!  Not going to bother with a route map.  Distance was about 16 miles.

Wet ride with Brent and Jesi

This afternoon I went mountain biking with Brent and Jesi. Brent just got new hydraulic disk brakes. He also put new shifters on.

Including going to Brent’s house, the ride was around 18 or 19 miles. It was a long slow grind but I feel like I’m finally getting my cycling legs back.
