The Tolkin Campground I stayed at was literally at the trailhead. After some coffee I had off on a really early morning ride on the Paradise Royale loop. The trail is roughly 14 miles long with quite a bit of elevation gain.<\/p>\n

Lots of great single track<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But you don’t start off climbing. From the trailhead its tasty downhill singletrack.<\/p>\n

Sneaky climbing.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The trail were purpose built for mountain biking and hats off to the designers. The climbs are not unrelenting despite the elevation they gain.<\/p>\n

Yeah this is good $#\u00f7t!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
More goodness<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The ride finishes up with a climb back to the trailhead and my campsite.<\/p>\n

After a late breakfast and a catnap I drove down the mountain to the little town of Shelter Cove.<\/p>\n

I had originally planned on checking out the town, camping for a second night were I was currently at and lake my way to Portland the following day. After seeing the town, I opted to move on up the coast. I made it Crescent City that evening which would make the next day’s drive shorter.<\/p>\n
