Hello all, here is my mtb bike ride at Rancho San Vicente and into another preserve named Rancho Canada Del Oro on Monday May 7th. (Did a BTC post instead of posting this ride)
The shot below is Calero reservoir on a warm 79* f day.
The ride was 25 miles and 2200 feet of climbing. A lot of sweating was done.......
GPS data is from a Garmin Vivoactive HR and uploaded to Strava
I passed a couple of pretty horses grazing on the way.
Another shot of Calero from about midway up the trail
Once your up in the mid mountain, it gets lusher with ferns and a few small streams. It's nice and green, like a jungle...
This is a shot of the single track, pretty swoopy with a lot of turns.
This is the top looking south towards Morgan hill and Gilroy (where they grow a lot of garlic)
This is a shot of Calero which I passed on the way up, it's the blue spot in the center.
On the way back and still on the trail, this small deer was startled by me. I just stopped to watch him, but he/she did not stick around too long...
