Well, it only took me 6 hours to get out of the house and that's only because the sun finally came out. Pretty sure if it didn't, I never would've left. It was also felt colder than the forecast said it should. For a while I was able to go without any warmers but I'm glad I brought everything because it got quite cold. Checked out some new trails and tried to find some new trails. I tried to find the entrance to Foothill Park of Los Trancos to get to Arastradero Preserve from the back but I wasn't able to find the trailhead. All I managed to do was kill some daylight. I almost ran over a baby rattlesnake in Arastradero that was right in the middle of the trail laying perpendicular. I didn't know it was a rattler at first and thought it was dead but it slithered off before I could get a pic when I tried to get closer. On the way back, I knew if I headed straight back, I'd make it before sunset but I wanted to check out the hidden, secret, singletrack Catherine found the other day. It was stunning. It helped that I was there around sunset for golden hour. Since SMC closed Ralston Bike Path, and I was in some uncharted territory, I got Google's help to navigate me back to known roads. It was pretty convoluted. Between Los Trancos, Woodside Glens, and the neighborhood Google took me through, I saw some really nice homes.
