Cyclocross @ Sante Fe Dam

Saturday I overslept and missed my traditional saturday morning ride. As I nursed my 2nd cup of coffee and tried to figure out what to do, my sister was telling me about where she rides horses: The Santa Fe Dam. She showed me on google maps where she likes to go with her horses, and I blatantly stole her route to do on my bike. You can see the route here.

It was massively fun. It turns out that there is a settling pond that had two-foot-tall grass that you could ride through; its incredible to be riding along with your feet disappearing into the grass and no idea what is in front of you. Another settling pond had been converted into very small motorcross course, complete with jumps and banked turns. The recent rains ensured that the course was slippery and muddy, and so riding the course meant having wheels randomly sliding around in two-inch mud. Naturally, by the time I got home I was caked in mud.

Can't wait to do it again!
