All Svihura, All the Time
I went out to Seascape today to do a 74 mile ride that’s put on by the Western Wheelers. The usual suspects, Lyresa and Tom were there, and we were joined by Debra and Athena. We started early so as to have enough time to do the distance and the route meandered through the neighborhoods …
It was nice again on Skyline and I wanted to check out Peters Creek Falls. This is a bit off the more popular trails, and the out and back section to the falls from Portola Heights Road was not maintained and a bit overgrown in spots. The falls were quite nice and there was plenty …
