Peyton and Patricia were in their flower print jerseys but on gravel bikes while I was on my MTB in baggies. It rained overnight but it was a nice and sunny evening. It's sort of been the trend lately and the trails have been nice. Unfortunately, Dirt Alpine has notoriously bad drainage and it was a bit muddy. The steep section of Dirt Alpine looked slippery but the traction wasn't an issue on my MTB. Patricia didn't have the tread for it and had a bit of a slip. It almost sketched her out enough to bail on the rest but luckily she stayed because Monte Bello was beautiful. I'm still the only one to clear the creek crossing. I wonder who will be the first to get it. At the end of White Oak Trail, it was starting to be a bit muddy and when we headed down Skid Rd. Trail, it seemed pretty wet and muddy too. Given that it's a rip'n descent, it seemed like the best thing to do was avoid the mud. So we turned around and did a little loop in Skyline Ridge. It was pretty once we got up to the ridge but all the steep climbing to get there isn't the most fun. Really wish it was graded better. I'd be more inclined to ride it. We ended up descending Page Mill around the same time as last time but it wasn't completely dark when we got to Arastradero like before. Alpine Inn was pretty empty which was nice.
