RR: lafayette-moraga regional trial (3-7-08)

[theclayster]

So this weekend I decided to drive up North and visit the grilfriend up in NorCal. She lives in Walnut Creek and goes to school at St. Mary's in Moraga. So on friday I rode from her place to meet her after she got out of class. 100% paved, with some single track options off the trail. About an 18 mile loop with about 500-600 feet of climbing. Not a bad little ride for some time to burn. She decided to ride the big bike and would regret that later on. enjoy!

Nice!

My in-laws live in Moraga, overlooking St. Marys (you can see the tower from their backyard...)

Next time you're up here, drop me a message and I'll take you guys for a tour at Joaquin Miller park, it's about 15 minutes from St. Marys..

yeah, the gf was saying there were some trials up there, so next time I will let you know when I am going up.

Yup, great riding not that far away. As technical as you want it to be.

Joaquin Miller is the some of the only *legal* singletrack in the East Bay...

Ahhh, I feel like I'm back home - I grew up in Walnut Creek/Concord area (just a short drive to Lafayette and Moraga). Wish I did mountain biking when I lived there, I missed out on so much right in my own backyard that I didn't even know existed at the time!

Thanks for sharing the pics!
