I didn't take a lot of pretty pictures worth posting like @evdog but his Hurkey Creek photos encouraged me to get back to The Hub. We go out there maybe twice a year and I swear, we NEVER end up taking the same route twice....and that's not by design. We always get turned around somewhere. This time, we ended up back on our route to the top from our very first ride back in 2011 or 12. It's basically backwards from the way the locals go but aside from a few moments of "we should be going down this" discussion, it's a great ride. Next time, we're actually going to go up the "right" way up the Alvin meadows Grind and come down Lower Alvin Meadows to hook into the lower, not on any app, twisty wind trail network.
Anyway...the reason I wanted to take the time to post to let everybody know that the trail conditions, aside from a few soft corners, was absolutely primo. Legit 12-16" singletrack. On the trails I mentioned above that show up on Trailforks, the conditions couldn't be any better. Get up there and get some. Unfortunately, we didn't go into town so I'm not sure what's open but La Cocina in Anza is open and their carnitas is still pretty amazing!!
