| Rest break on Larch Trail |
After getting the scoop from the super friendly guy at Revolution Bike shop on where to park, we headed north on Hwy 3B about ten minutes out of town. We drove down Neptune Creek logging road, and parked at Gibbards Trail(road). This saved finishing all the loop by climbing out on the road.
Climbed back out the logging road to the Highway 3B, and made our way up to the Larch Ridge trailhead. Here we descended Larch Ridge trail, passing the top of BS Trail, which we plan to hit on the 2nd loop, and climbed to its end at Monticola. Had a sweet descent on Monticola, to our lowpoint of the day. Crossed the road and climbed C.O. G. to Gibbards, and climbed Gibbards till it spit us out at our car. Here we continued on up, retracing our steps somewhat, but this time, we turned up earlier on an old doubletrack, and took the steeper dirt road up to Larch Ridge trail. We repeated this short section of Larch Ridge to the top of BS Trail. Dropped down BS and called it a day.
Short day. 7 miles and 2000 feet climbing. Keeping legs fresh for tomorrow.
