Great day out with Mr. Zacko - Gravel Bike California / CiclaValley and Mike "MrCrash" Solis. Showing Zack new stuff that unfortunately is harder than the stuff I showed him already. No less amazing though. I didn't realize it but we unintentionally did a Midpen 50th Anniversary Celebration ride. On this day 50 years ago, Measure R "Room To Breathe", passed forming Midpen. I’ve always done it in the other direction because I like descending JNT. While it’s easier to clean everything going CCW, mostly descending after climbing JNT makes it more enjoyable CW. Even if there are stupid steep climbs in Skyline Ridge going this way. We even had time to add Bella Vista Trail in Monte Bello, not on the original route, and still made it back before sunset. We saw SO many deer today and one nearly ran across the road in front of us on the final descent back to the car. 😬
