Calavera MTB'ers on front page

[OldDogDan]

Two riders made the front page of the local North County Times, but the MTB aspect was incidental to the story about the geology of the ancient volcano. Nice picture though. I ride there a lot but don't recognize them. Sure was hot out there Saturday!

Hmmmm, No mention of the 30+ foot drop to the steep arsh scree field pictured in the photo? (Upper Lefthand Corner) It certainly looks like somebody has ridden it. Very Josh Benderish.

I saw that a couple weeks ago and thought "NO WAY"!! Then I looked a little closer and saw how loose the landing would have been. Maybe a hiker sitting too close to the edge when it gave way and just slid all the way down on their butt?

I had no idea of the volcano aspect of Calavera. Now that I know, I like that place even more. Pretty cool to think that we're riding in an old volcano. Thanks for the edgamacation Old Dog.

You're welcome! I forgot to include the link to the full article on the geology -- here it is:
