<\/a><\/p>\nWhile the grade did not seem steep, I was surprised how quickly the elevation stacked\u00a0up.\u00a0 There were some nice views to the north despite the ickyness that was setting down in the valleys below (That is not fog).\u00a0<\/p>\n
The climb went by quicker than expected and I even got a really cool treat.\u00a0 I rounded a corner to see a young bobcat crossing the fireroad.\u00a0 The cat was not much bigger than your average house kitty.\u00a0 He climbed up a steep embackment and stood at the top looking down at me for a good 15-20 seconds.\u00a0 I was trying to get my camera out without causing him to bolt, but as soon as he saw the camera come out of the bag and me start to raise it, he stepped into the brush.\u00a0\u00a0 Geez, he was pretty.\u00a0 It was awesome to get to admire one of these critters up close.\u00a0 It was not long after this encounter that\u00a0I made it to Beek’s Place and continued along Main Divide past the golfball.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0I have been tinkering with a new helmet camera mounting setup that would allow to get away from having a dedicated helmet for the camera system.\u00a0 Wearing the helmet camera on long climbs when you are not filming is a bummer.\u00a0 I want to be able to quickly remove the camera gear so that I could only carry a single helmet on a ride.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The new setup basically uses the quick-release mounts designed for\u00a0professional\/prosumer grade camera tripods.\u00a0\u00a0When completed\u00a0this setup should be must more versatile.\u00a0\u00a0So far I have only completed\u00a0my full-face helmet.\u00a0\u00a0 That was also part of the reason I chose this trail, it seemed silly to bring a full-face helmetcam out to some place like Penasquitos Canyon.<\/p>\n After about a mile of climbing on Main Divide Truck Trail, I reached the “Skyline DH” (Have no idea what it’s actual name is yet).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I was looking at this ridgeline quite a bit on the climb up and it certainly looked to have some steepness.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
