As the weather was sunny and mild, I decided to try to mountain bike
the Saratoga Gap and Peters Creek trail in Saratoga (starting at the Vista Point parking lot at the
intersection of Highway 9 and Skyline Boulevard).
I arrived just before 10:00 a.m. and rode my 2011 Specialized S-works FSR with newly built wheels.
The trail started with an easy climb to a single track with an excellent
green tree cover. I recorded a high-definition GoPro4 silver
video of my ride.
I also took some iPhone photos on the ride.
The ride took about 1 hour and 45 minutes. I really liked this trail - it's not as tiresome as Almaden Quicksilver County Park - but it is more scenic with many different sections of single track and technical descents. I hope to ride it once again.
