Had my first ride ride near Fresno last Sunday, just 20 minutes north around Millerton Lake, locals call this ride "Sky Harbor" because of the trailhead location, is an awesome trail with lots of views, you start with a long climb then rolling hills, I only went in for 5 miles in and back but local tell me this can be us much as 40 miles by linking a couple of trail.
Then you finish with an even tougher climb.
On my way back I met this guy, his name i Dan, he show me this other trail not on the map that is very technical, is great but didn't take any pictures since I was holding my brakes all the time.
Here are a few pictures:






Like I said, very friendly locals


Had a great time.

I need to ride more! I like going fast, I get kind of burly, and I hate riding uphill....Who's down to ride?

Thanks, I'll be working there for a while and coming home every other weekend, will try to bring the camera along when I ride the weekends I stay up there.

Awesome! I'm stoked that you have already found some trails! I was sure there had to be great places to ride up there. Hope to see ya on one of your trips back home.

good to know there are big, hairy nasties to keep you company up there.

Good to see you met up with a fellow MTB to show you the trails. I;d post on the MTBR in the NorCal thread asking for peeps to ride with or show you around.

Looks like its not flat there, you'll be a climbing fool in a couple of months.

Right on ....... very cool views thats for sure.

I haven't post at mtbr because I found this local club and had being in contact with them.
Dan was very cool, I got his number so will try another trail next weekend, he's family is in the raisins business and one of their little customers is Kellogs so every time you have Raisin Brand you are eating Dan's raisins

Thanks for the pictures Jose. Looks like you have already discovered some of the treasures near Fresno. Keep the pictures coming buddy. I didn't see you yesterday at the meet.
