Over the July 4th weekend, we did some camping up in the Laguna Mountains.\u00a0\u00a0 We were there for a long weekend so several rides were had between chilling at camp. Here are some random thoughts and pics from the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the many nice things about camping there is you can roll right out camp so there is no pressure to try and get it all in as you did not do a big drive to get here.\u00a0 You can a short loop around the meadow, have lunch and go back out for some more.\u00a0\u00a0 Or take a nap \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It got pretty toasty during the day so some dawn patrol rides were in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the loops I did included Red-tailed Roost.\u00a0\u00a0 I was pretty stoked with the effort I did on the climb up to the top.\u00a0\u00a0 It was the best I have ever done. I knew that eBikes were not authorized on USFS lands, but seeing the new stickers on the trailhead signs drove home that I would have a tough time having an eBike as my only bike as I would not want to give up riding out here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As much as I have ridden out here I have never gone up to the SDSU observatories.\u00a0\u00a0 Instead of doing my usual of climbing up Wooded Hills I continued up the old county road and crossed sunrise highway to the paved road that goes to the observatories.\u00a0\u00a0 Shortly thereafter I picked up a single-track that avoided the road.\u00a0 It was nice bit of trail.\u00a0 There is another trail off of this one that connects to Thing Valley road that I will be checking out soon as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Altogether I got in a handful of rides and really enjoyed ourselves. <\/p>\n
