Headed out to Otay Mt. this morning to do a nice ride. Headed up to the top of Otay Mt. then descended down to the Bandit and descended that and found some virgin singletrack(very nice). We also found a lot of silt, part of the fire road after the Bandit was ridiculously dusty and had silt at least 3-4 inches deep. Luna headed to the top after some of us and went right past the turn off for the very top and ended up having to climb an extra 500 feet. Almost everyone ran out of water(it was warm) but we all had a great time. The new singletrack made it that much better. Stats for the day: 19.57 miles with 4020 feet of climbing. Enjoy the pics(didn't take too many today, was too busy having fun):
