Biking Saratoga Gap and Long Ridge

As the weather was scorching, I mountain biked the Saratoga Gap and Peters Creek trail in Saratoga (starting at the Vista Point parking lot at Highway 9 and Skyline Boulevard).

I arrived just before 9:05 am and rode my 2011 Specialized S-works FSR with newly built wheels. The rear tire flat has been fixed at Silva Cycles.

The trail started with an easy climb to a single track with an excellent green tree cover. I recorded a nice high-definition GoPro 4 video on my ride here:

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

I also took some iPhone photos on the ride.

The ride took about 1 hour and 15 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.

Here are my Strava statistics:
