A little green to cool things down

[Epicrider]

A little cool green to cool off on these hot days we are having. My Fiancé and took a little road trip up through Nor Cal to escape the heat and found lots of cool green to cool us off.

Lots of buff maching through the woods type trails! It was a nice change of pace from our technical rocky stuff we have in the desert.

Thanks for that!

Annadel is one of my favorite NorCal riding spots, such variety; oak groves, redwoods, meadows, marshes. Stay in Santa Rosa, ride all morning, hit up a winery in the afternoon, not a bad way to spend a day or 4.

I love me some green....thanks for the pics. Good news on the rain front....As I drove back from Colorado yesterday, the moisture was forming up on the front range and extended all the way to pretty much the Rio Grande Rift valley....just a little bit more and our dry and dusty conditions should turn into velcro.

I grew up in sacramento, the auburn state park was my first taste of mtb singletrack. Needles to say I was hooked, mostly due to that trail. It's still as beautiful as I remember it, thanks for the memories!

Next time. It was on the list for the last ride, but a large storm was moving in and we headed south on hwy1 to try and escape. No luck, it rained all day on our last day of our 9 day 2000 mile road trip and we ended up taking a tour of Hearst Castle before warping back to the heat. The Santa Cruz and Big Sur area is one of my favorite places to escape the heat.
