Rocky Peak Saturday April 2, 2005

 

Eleven Manly man showed up at the pink shopping center on a beautiful spring day.  Present were Shah, Reuben, Jamshyd, Aaron, Joe, Matthew, Dennis and Boomer, Brian, SteveK, and Myself (I know I forgot someone, but I can't remember who, sorry).

We did the usual route, up around the Cemetery to the Chumash trail head, up and up and up and up we went for over 1000 feet of climbing (its seems to be getting steeper every time I do it).  The trail was surrounded by wildflowers and greenery.

We then rode the street back to the shopping center,  we missed the Stage Coach trail because the trail head was overgrown.  And who was waiting for us in the parking lot, DavidN.  He was late and missed us, so he did a ride by himself :(.  But he was still manly enough to join us for a late breakfast at See You Latte.

All in all a great day for a ride, we did Thirteen miles and 2,220 feet of elevation gain.
