Dirt Biking at Hollister Hills SVRA

Today was my second day riding my Red Sticker Honda CRF250R dirt bike at Hollister Hills SVRA. I was eager to explore all of the trails at Hollister Hills to see which suits my riding skill level and which is a bit of a stretch.

I first warmed up on the nearby Classic/Vintage Track, followed by multiple rides around the TT (Time Trials) Track. This was a good warm-up in the morning, as these tracks were not too busy, with few riders.

Once warmed up, I proceeded to try the following trails:

• TT Track - a lovely track for working on cornering, shifting, and braking skills
• Four Corners - an intermediate trail with pleasant ascents and descents
• MX Track - a very advanced track with lots of giant jumps and steep descents (too much for me)
• Rancho - an intermediate road with nice turns and twists
• Harmony Gate Road - a very mild, easy ride with lots of tree cover on hot days
• Lower Field - a very soft, easy ride for beginners
• Ridge - a trail with little tree cover but with magnificent views of surrounding hillsides

All the trails were fun, but I especially enjoyed the Ridge trail for its scenic beauty and the Harmony Trail for its magnificent tree cover (which helped in the 90+ weather).

Here is a GoPro 4 Silver video of me riding the Harmony Gate Road.

I also recorded another GoPro video of the Rancho & Ridge Trails:

I enjoyed my time riding and was surprised by how tired I was after a few hours. I am hoping to be back soon for more. There are so many other black diamond trails to explore.
