Pictures from Penasquito Canyon Trail

We decided to take it easy this week and ride a trail we are already familiar with. Each time we have someone new joining the group, we somehow always manage to go to an unknown trail which always turns out to be more difficult than we anticipated. So, the idea is for Kathy to be able to finally enjoy a nice leisurely ride for the first time since she got her bike by going to a trail we are all already familiar with. We all decided to meet at Pensquito Canyon Trail on Black Mountain Road in Mira Mesa. As luck would have it though, Kathy came down with something and wasn't feeling up for this week's ride.

That means we have to come up with an interesting alternative for those of us who are already veterans of the south Penasquito Trail. We decided to take the unfamiliar (to us) north trail instead just to try something new.

The north trail is so nice and different than what we had in our mind. We always thought the north trail was more difficult with more hills to acend and decend. In reality, it was a very scenic and pretty easy trail that meanders pass cascading pools of water before ending at Sorrento Valley Parkway. However easy it is though, we BTFers manage to get a few scrapes and bruises along the way. Just ask myself and Monica. :)

Here are some pictures from the day's ride. It was a long one at 22miles but we did manage to make it to the Torrey Pines beach, allowing Monica to take some pictures for her class project.

No kidding. My butt is tired from the ride. The muscles aren't sore, just tired. It's a different feeling than soreness. But that's a good thing.
