The rides continue: Otay Mountain, Corral Canyon and Logansdale Trails... Wow!

Just got back from a couple of super fun rides. Check 'em out:

So cool that this spot is only minutes out my front door. Matt W. showing me the way and checking it all out. This is a ride that my local moto buddies do almost every Friday. It's kind of a tradition to hop on the bikes, ride surface streets to the beginning of the trail and then moto up to the summit.  Top of the world on Moto Friday- with a couple cold beers waiting at the truck down below. 

Off to explore Corral Canyon but what a bummer... flat front tire! Well, might as well learn how to replace an inner tube- so we used the trailer as a bike stand and got busy changing it out. 

It's not too hard... but I've got to invest in some tire irons and get a little repair pack together. And practice on all the different bikes we're on- if this happens way out in the bush in Baja, I've got to be prepared to do it myself.
The trouble was worth it- Corral Canyon is a fun place to ride. Since I'm a beginner, I liked the easy perimeter road. We didn't get to ride the whole length of the road, I'm excited to get back out there and do the whole thing. It's an hour from my doorstep to the trail at Corral Canyon- that makes it an easy day trip for me. Stoked!
Another shot from the Corral Canyon perimeter road- beautiful back country out there.

Just got back from this trip: Logansdale Trails outside of Las Vegas, Nevada... insanely beautiful, red rocks with fun moto-trails all through them.

Red dirt, red rocks, blue sky.

It's the kind of place that makes you feel really small.
