When I picked up Josh the car thermometer read 68 degrees and we were
stoked that winter temps were finally here. But all the way up to Ojai
the mercury kept rising and it was in the mid 80s at the trail head.
And dry as a pumice stone.
The Foothill/Pratt trail is a fun practice run made difficult by trying
to eliminate all but rolling hops and to roll everything else, like a
street course. It will gas you if you try and ride long sections
without stopping. And a little fishing around on the fringe of things
reveals some provocative natural trials options and a handful of
king-sized drops--though few have any roll outs so it's mostly slamming
to flat. We're like two inches shorter than when we started. We kept
looking for Evan on his disc-braked, off-road BC wheel but verily, the
kid never showed.
When I dropped Josh off back in the Valley it was 94 degrees. I trust
it will cool off for LA Muni Weekend. Pics to follow.
