Biking Wilder Ranch
Groundhog day, 2003

On a beautiful Sunday morning, I loaded up my bike on the car and took off to the Santa Cruz mountains.

gearing up for a good 3½ hour ride

Wilder Ranch is a farm still run the very, very old fashoned way.


ready to go

Today's pedalers: Nico...

...Scott...

...Matt & Marta...

...and miself.



The trails offer many great vistas of the Pacific.

The Boyz.







All happy after a quite steep & technical downhill section.

Our guides through this fun stuff:
Elisabeth, Jeanne, Iztok

Still happy after a seriously good climb.
Here, I'm trying to look relaxed after dashing from the self-timer camera setup





[our last stop before dropping back down to the parking]

Still some gorgeous miles ahead

Packing up & getting ready for a veggie feast at 'Saturn' in Santa Cruz.
Cheers!
