Bike Trails

Here are some bike trails I have rode this summer.

View Big Basin in a larger map
This was probably a intermediate level dirt trail with quite a bit of elevation gain,
more suited for mountain bikes. We started at about 1600 ft, went down to around
800 ft and then had to climb to 1900 ft to finish off. Damn tiring!

View Halfmoon Bay in a larger map

This is an easy one, with the trail going along the beautiful halfmoon bay coast. More of a fun family ride.

View Arastradero Park in a larger map

This park is located in the Palo Alto hills, a barren trail with no tree cover, we were roasted in the hot sun!

View SFPier41-GoldenGate-Sausolito-Tiburon-SF in a larger map

This is a beautiful route that starts off
from one of the famous SF piers, takes you across the Golden Gate bridge to the
town of Sausolito, then a ride in the country side into Tiburon. We took the
ferry back to SF.

Kirkwood Ski Resort Opening Dates

2012/13 - 11/16 (Opened with Chair 5 and a storm moved in too; Early start to season as it typically is in the pattern of a weak El Nino forecast; Some late october/early-november storms led to snow on the mountains, couple of feet at some places, maybe more on the sierra crest; Cold temperatures and Vail's deep pockets mean good snow making opportunities)

2011/12 - 11/25 (Opened on Nov 25 with Chair 5 spinning, but resort operated only on weekends after a few days with no snow and warm temperatures, then reopened for 7 days a week on 12/17 with Chairs 5, 11, 1 spinning, thanks to snow guns; Bad snow year overall)

2010/11 - 11/24 (Bluebird opening on Nov 24th, after an "Epic" November storm with 5-7 ft of snow in 4 days; Chairs 5, 6, 11 and 1 were turning)
