Description

This is a very short ride at Skeggs Point (El Corte De Madera Preserve) but ideal if you can only afford a quick lunch break ride. Basically an out-and-back, with a short loop along Crosscut trail. The highlight: Manzanita, which is ridden in both directions. Sweet, rocky goodness. One section will seriously test your tech climbing skills.
