Description
This ride is an amazing loop showing some of the best trails Skeggs – aka El Corte de Madera Park – has to offer: Resolution, South Leaf, Blue Blossom. Throwing in North Leaf, Giant Salamander and Manzanita would have made it the near perfect Skeggs experience, but I hadn’t figured out a good way to do so – one that my legs would allow.
In fact, this particular loop is something I usually don’t undertake, because of the ultra-grueling nature of some of the climbs. The start of South Leaf for instance (at mile 4) is ridiculously steep and hard, and near impossible to ride. And the climb along Virgina Mill road is an endless and tortuous grind. But, you get to do the awesome singletrack section of South Leaf, and Resolution and Blue Blossom in their proper direction (down); loads of fun.
