Saturday ride with Craig. Awesome super fun trails. Wild flowers still going crazy. Cactus now in bloom too! Saw first rattler of the season.

Since the Competitive tracks are not recommended for hiking, I figured I would hike them as a night hike so that I wouldn't have to worry about getting run over by a bike.

Started at 9:30pm and finished up at 2:00am

Initially I thought I would just do the Long Loop (7 miles) and maybe one of the other loops if feeling good (both others are about 3 miles). I did the Long loop, then decided to to the Sports loop, then after that figured, Only three more miles, and I can finish up the Technical loop and be done with all of them, so I did.

All tracks were quite reasonable. I did run into a rattlesnake on the Technical track, it was wound up and right in the middle of the trail. It kind of looked like a round, flat rock as first glance. I was about 5 foot away, and did a second take on it, and sure enough it was a snake. It didn't seem to be bothered by me, so I walked around it. Always need to be on the lookout for these guys!
