Default Thomas Mountain - Ramona Trail ~VIDEO~

This past weekend I got a chance to ride Thomas Mountain Road (fireroad) and the Ramona trail
located near Idyllwild and Herkey Creek here in SoCal. Thomas Mountain offered a good climb with
stunning views of the San Jacinto Mountains and the Ramona trail was a blast, keeping in you on your
toes as the trail changed substanually over its length. Buff singletrack, rocky switchbacks, loose
corners, woods, roots, meadows, and a touch of snow, we were treated to a wide selection trail
goodness during the 6.2 mile descent.

I think the "all downhill" was preceded by some very much "all uphill" ;-)

Uphill? There was 'uphill'? Ah Yes. I see now... "offered a good climb". Good thing that there was
the 'downhill' to make up for it then! ;-)
