Return to Sycamore Canyon
I've been working on climbing Chumash (descending cleanly happens nearly every time these days), and just having fun working on totally mastering the technical bits of a really challenging trail.
And I had a great time on Friday pedaling up Rosewood and down Space Mountain, missing my personal best time on that loop by just 3 minutes. (Curses! Gotta climb faster!)
And today, with a little time on my hands after getting off work early, it was time to head back to Sycamore Canyon. I'm sorry I stayed away so long. It was great to be back with a new bike at one of my favorite spots.
Unfortunately, it looks like the Arts Trail is closed for the time being while the "park staff can evaluate how the continued safe use of this area will effect [sic] the the preservation of the natural and cultural resources located in this section of Point Mugu State Park."
Didn't stop me having an amazing time, though. Sin Nombre is a fantastic trail too, and leads right to the base of Sage, which is where Arts connected to. So while I'll miss the Arts trail a bit, it won't be a terrible loss.
