Local MTB Ride 11-02-23

Fuel EX 9.8. Mostly sunny, cool but comfortable in the high 40's to low 50's, pretty stiff SW winds Started at the GW trailhead on Dean St. Did a quick woodland trail loop around LeRoy Oakes FP then headed out to Wasco on the GW trail. Jumped down South on Old LaFox Rd to the Campton Forest Preserve. Been a long time since I was out there, lots of okay grass trails and a few singletrack trails.

For future reference, avoid the small trails that look like game trails. I took an endo spill going down a hill with some giant root ledges that were hidden by the leaves. Other than that some nice riding - you could do 90-120 minutes of trails easy. I only covered about 10.5 miles in 1:15.
