Back at Hollister Hills SVRA

After a long wait for cooler weather, it was time to resume off-road motorcycling at Hollister Hills SVRA. With the Red Sticker season on, the normal staging area was crowded.


I decided to record all my trail rides using Strava. I usually only use Strava to record my mountain bike rides and hikes, but recording segment times for various trails might be helpful to see if I am improving my overall time.

Activity recorded with Strava.

Because I have not ridden my Yamaha WR-250F since June, I started slowly and built up to the more challenging trails.

After a few laps around the TT Track, I rode the Harmony Gate Trail. I followed this trail with a ride on Rancho Road and Four Corners road. I stopped by my van for a snack and a water refreshment.



I also rode many laps around the TT Track and Lodge Track, working on my braking, shifting, turning, body position, and smoothness. I still have a long way to go!

Here is a GoPro Hero4 Silver video of my last ride in the Harmony Gate trail:



Overall, it was a great day of riding. I logged 23 miles and about 1 hour 25 minutes of recorded moving time.
