I rode it on as a noob on a 10 year old hardtail with 3" of travel up front. Its called getting off and walking the parts that look difficult. (although I did go down that sharp left turn to 6 stairs section and almost biffed it lol) . It is a fun trail that as a noob got me excited to ride it again, but it is somewhat of a nasty climb (HAB for me). Whats funny is my first OTB at Cowles was when I finally got 6" of travel |

I will be packing for Santa Cruz, so won't be able to make it next week. Thanks for a great ride last night. Lesson Learned: No matter how freakin' warm it is, always wear elbow pads when taking the big bike out for a spin. Time to restock my supply of band-aids...again. |

I rode cowles for the first time at around 3:45 yesterday.....the fire road at the top is the most ridiculously steep fire road I have ever ridden/walked.....came down the big rock trail and it was amazingly fun...some of the water bars have some interesting drops ...going to ride it again about 3 today....it started to get crowded with hikers on the way down.....definitely more technical than I thought but good practice |

Cowles again this Thursday at 6 pm. Up Mesa, regroup at the top then go down Big Rock. Possibly, take Mesa again up to where Big Rock and Mesa splits then down Big Rock. No lights needed. |
