We had a fantastic day on Mt Baldy last Sunday. It's always harder than I remember it. Great job everyone. I now feel ready to tackle Half Dome. See the photos.

Nothing planned this week, stay tuned.

Favorite bike rides: Cool Breeze - Ride for the Buns

Catalina Eco Marathon
On the weekend of November 13-15, the Weekend Warriors will return to Catalina for a marathon, but this one is different - It goes on some single track trails in the interior that few have seen. Also It starts and ends in Avalon so you dont have to stay over night if you dont want to - but it is more fun if you do. Click on the link above for full details.
