*Reddits acting weird not allowing me to post text.
Sunday morning we loaded up the bikes at camp, bad sleep was had by most of the group but we made it through the night after having a little party / camp fire with some fellow bike tourist in the trail structure the night before.
We made it up the 1 mile climb to Skyline Blvd. Hung out abs watched some climbers on the rocks then headed down the skyline trail ( bike legal) through some of the best pine loam / hero dirt you could ever hope for.
Then we dropped into the John Nicolas trail.
The JNT is nothing short of breathtaking, 3 miles of downhill winding single track through incredible sandstone / tafoni rack formations ending at a beautiful wooded reservoir I had never seen before.
Then it was a super fast 40mph rip down black mountain rd. to Lexington reservoir and lunch in downtown LosGatos.
After a quick & fast ride down the LosGatos bike path through WillowGlen we were back at the Amtrack station headed home.
Such an incredible 2 days out on the bike, I’d suggest this route to anyone in the Bay Area looking for a hard bit not unfun bike packing weekend.
