I&#8217;m referring to the three climbs: Lyman Willson, Anza-Jackson, and Serpentine. I envisioned the elevation profile will show three distinct peaks, but it does not. Oh well, those were the three interesting climbs on the ride; hence, three candies.<\/p>\n<p>It was a beautiful day. (Of course, we are in California!) While dropping down Hwy 84, I saw trucks full of mountain bikes coming up. For a moment, I felt silly for foregoing the popular MTB destination &#8212; Skeggs, which is only 10 miles from our house &#8212; and driving 73 miles to Henry Coe, but I drove on. <\/p>\n<p>It was a short ride because I didn&#8217;t get to Hunting Hollow until noon and I promised Erik (on call again) that I would not get too far from the car. I did plan the route to maximize riding on dirt, maximize singletrack, and maximize the ascent\/mileage ratio. Well, I tried at least. Here is the route:<\/p>\n<p>Hunting Hollow Road -> L: Lyman Willson -> L: Bowl Trail -> R: Middle Steer Ridge Trail -> L: Steer Ridge Road -> R: Spike Jones Trail -> L: Timm Trail (no sign) -> R: Coit Road -> R: Anza Trail -> R: Jackson Trail -> L: Elderberry Spring Trail -> L: Jackson Road -> R: Wasno Road -> R: Dexter Trail -> L: Grizzly Gulch Trail -> R: Serpentine Trail -> R: Steer Ridge Road -> R:  Middle Steer Ridge Trail -> R: Hunting Hollow Road (20.2 miles \/ 5106&#8242; ascent)<\/p>\n<p>I didn&#8217;t make many stops, so there were not many photos from my ride.
