Poway Trail-recon

Poway Trail recon map

Picking up from the Tuesday Old Coach Trail ride, started in Garden Road Park. Had a hellva time finding the trail from the residential streets. Finally went to the fields by the horse areas and rode around and over the hill near the water tank. Down the other side and finally found the trail start area where I wanted to start form. Some knarly climbing involved. I'll leave that hill off the route.

Picked up the pre-plotted route on the Garmin 500. Went here and there, took a few extra loops on single trak trails. Several monster hike-a-bike climbs in there, mainly on access roads. Great tunnel riding over to the Metcalf St. trailhead. Had to pack-a-bike, after missing a gpx turn. Rough country in there.

Eventually, picked up some manicured trails, passing under roadways, I-15 and on to Los Penasquitos Canyon . Took a trail north to a park and rode over to JIB for a refuel choc. shake. Two big hike-a-bike up to roadways in there. Have to drop them.

End of recon. Rode down Black Mtn. Rd. to SR-56 Bike Path to the coast. Then up to Nytro for a order out of some Ergon grips and ends. Long day. Got home at 5:00 PM.

happy trails,
