I was thinking about doing Peters or Santiago. Looking for some climbing so I'm leaning towards Santiago.

I rode alone last night....did a loop of Peters and came across a HUGE rattle snake....the thing was the width of my wrist at least, and guessing 4-6 ft. He was just cruising across the trail and if the guy in front of me hadn't seen him, I might have met him in an unfortunate way. Thats my first sighting all year...

On another note....if you get out there and ride .....the loop shouldn't take more than 45 min, and at 530 it's got plenty of light. I parked off Old Camp last night

(I have an appt tonight or I'd join)

If you guys want to start at the south end of Peters Canyon (see map link below) you'll probably run into me.
