I decided to mountain bike at my nearby Almaden
Quicksilver County Park in south San Jose, this time using the
Hacienda Park entrance (Eastern side of the park). My usual Almaden Quicksilver loop has 1,640 feet of elevation gain.
When I arrived at 8:45 a.m., there were not too many cars. I assembled my Specialized Ground Control bike and started on the ascent of Mine Hill Trail.
The park map is below:
During one short downhill run on Randol Trail, I lost traction on my bike's front tire and had a minor crash. I got a few scratches around my knees and arms.
I shot a video on my GoPro of the descent to Hacienda from Mines Road. I saw 3 deer on the trail!
Before starting on Mine Hill Trail, I turned on the MapMyWalk app on my iPhone 5S to record my mountain biking session. As you can see below, the ride covered 11.11 miles in 1 hour 28 minutes 8 seconds, with a minor crash. The app estimated 608 calories burned. It was not a bad ride at all - but I was overtaken by one mountain biker, so I need to improve my uphill performance.
