Biking Almaden Quicksilver County Park

Today, I decided to go for an excellent mountain biking ride at Almaden Quicksilver County Park.
Unfortunately, halfway through the bike ride, I heard a loud whistle as my rear tire lost air pressure and turned flat. Since I was using tubeless tires, I expected my rear tire to self-seal automatically, but this did not happen on my ride. My WTB Werewolf rear tire went completely flat!

I walked my bike most of the way back to the parking lot, so my trail time (generally around 1 hour and 30 minutes ended up being 2 hours). After the ride, I stopped by Silva Cycles bike shop to replace my rear tire (with a new Maxx tire).

I uploaded all of the Almaden Quicksilver trail info to Wikiloc. Which is a valuable site for recording trails.


I also tracked my progress on Strava and had an excellent recording of my progress on Relive.



I expected to return to Almaden Quicksilver soon, as it's one of my favorite local trails for an excellent 90-minute workout.
