Ride stories
Redwoods Trail Ride – Mud, Pines and a Whole Lot of Fishtailing
Three hours on the road and a forecast full of rain led to one seriously muddy day at the Redwoods Trail Ride. While the rain mostly held off during the event itself, the damage had already been done. Deep mud, slippery climbs and endless fishtailing turned what would likely be a fairly relaxed ride in the dry into a challenging but thoroughly enjoyable day in the pines.
