Heil Valley MTB: Part Two

Sweet single track on Wild Turkey Trail.

Last week I went back for more fat tire stoke at Heil Valley Ranch. I did several laps, mixing together the various segments of Ponderosa Loop and Wild Turkey Trail. Total ride was 16.7 miles in 3h 15m, with a moving time of 2h 40m, and 2,679 feet of elevation gain. Lotsa fun despite two flats, the second of which made me walk out the last mile to the car.

Took a siesta at the Ponderosa/Wild Turkey intersection.
The stone foundation of an old ranch building is in the background.

Stumpy in its natural habitat.

One of the last really warm days of the season.
