This kid is a hero. He is attempting to set the world record as the youngest person to sail solo around the world. He is 16.

PCT - Boreal to Downieville

40 Miles of the PCT.
We try to make a go at this ride once a year late in the season when you won't bother anybody. It is an epic ride that usually involves bad weather. This year the trail had perfect traction because it was frozen rock solid. The average temperature all day was probably 20 degrees. It took three days for my finger tips to thaw. And I'm not kidding.

The Hogan Trail

Down Stockton way, a few MTB folks made themselves some hot, rocky, technical singletrack. Luckily it is close to a nice looking lake so you can take a dip if need be, but please don't forget LOTS of water. Also it looks like you only have to turn around when you are halfway exhausted, which means for a pretty long ride if you're up for it.

Henry Coe

NorCal MTB singletrack.

I ventured deep up a windy road until I finally arrived at Henry Coe Headquarters. Having no idea where to ride, I whipped out my blackberry and did a Google search. I saw something about a couple of trail names and started out with a few hours and no extra calories to burn. Next time I think I'll tag along with somebody who know the way mo' better.

I did enjoy Middle Ridge Trail quite a bit! But there was an awful lot of fireroads and no bike signs. Whatever, still nice to ride single track all over Northern California.
