So far, all the trails that I've revisited since the last storm of the winter have been in worse shape than before it and Calero County was no exception. I didn't realize that last storm was so bad. Despite that and a lot of jerk thistles lining the trails, Calero County continues to be the most smiles per mile and my favorite park in the Bay Area. Most of the time, you're never going that fast but it feels fast, even when you're going slow. It's also got a pretty perfect miles:elevation ratio. I don't know what it is about the Ground Control front tire but it's my only dirt tire where the front end grip isn't 100%. As I started to come back down the big descent (Chisnantuk Peak Trail) I had one corner where I started to feel the front tire slide out on the loose gravel over hard packed. I wasn't pushing that hard so I was out of the turn and regained grip before anything bad happened. But also I wasn't pushing that hard and I don't know why this tire is so loose. Parts of the trail still had water running and was still muddy. On Cottle Trail on the way up to the peak, there were actually a couple of river crossings. Luckily the river beds were flat and you could fly through them. I was bummed to have to do the final climb back to the parking lot as the trail that takes you direct was overgrown and closed.
