Scott's Ride Blog

Today was a pre-ride of the 12hrs of Temecula race in a few weeks. Headed up with the guys from Kashi to show them around. We hit the trail at ~10am and it was already pretty warm. Across the sand pit (while wasn't too bad!) and onto the fire road. The fire road was pretty packed and was getting hopeful that conditions were gonna be good and they were. Cleared the damn climb with no problems at I'd say 80% race pace. Then across the ups and downs up top, the new switch backs were way loose! I dabbed there, but the rest of the sections were pretty good! Then we descended the main ridge (which turns out was the wrong decent but the trail was in great shape so I think the marlin ridge decent will also be good) up the Ambulance road which again was not sandy all packed nicely! Down the tunnel of love (such a fun section) and then we headed up thru the whoops and then did the BMA track and the military climb. fun pre-ride decent time for stopping so much and hangin out.
