2009-12-05 Henry W. Coe State Park

Description

On Monday Alex pinged me about maybe riding at Coe on the next Saturday. I said “sure” but I needed to be back at the parking lot at ~3pm because I had dinner plans with my mother and visiting brother.

I sent an invite to a few of the Coe regulars: “Hi all – Alex and I are going to do a medium-length ride in the hills above Hunting Hollow on Saturday. I need to be back at Hunting Hollow by 3pm so this is no all-day epic. Tentative plan is modified 2009 HCFC route. Change by going up Lyman Willson at the start, and end with Spike Jones/Timm. Meet up at 9am. That’s just about the time when the sun light starts to hit the corner of the parking lot near the sign.”

I expected 2 or 3 more would show but wow, there were 15 riders at Hunting Hollow 9am: Alex + two friends, Patrick, Mei, Erik, Jim, Dirk, Brian, Andy, Paul & Chris on a tandem, two Monterey guys (one of which rode happily in the cold and fog in a cotton tee shirt!), and myself. Did I count right? 15 ??? (Beside the group, we saw Roy in the parking lot, and Kerry, Lisa, & a friend on the Cross Canyon Trail.)

It wasn’t a tight group, we got spread out on the Lyman Willson climb, the regroup at Willson Camp was probably the only time we were all together. As the day went on, the group disperse throughout the trails above Hunting Hollow. Heck, late afternoon I had to bail on my sub-group of 5 to get back to the car by 3pm.

It was pretty cold and overcast in the morning. The poor guys who were the first to Willson Camp were shivering by the time the full group was up there; it was one of those day, we needed to keep moving to stay warm. Even when the sun came out, the temps still stayed in the low 50s. The positive side was that the soil was moist and had a lot of bite which elevated my talent level; I had many mini-successes on some technical spots.

Great to see so many friends, suffer up the climbs, and ride some fun trials!
