Morgan Hill’s Canals and Different Dust – BionicOldGuy

Yesterday was onerous higher physique day so I did that exercise first at residence. Then I went for a straightforward spin on my e-bike which has fats tires, so I went on the lookout for off-road trails. I proceeded up Principal avenue east of city and used its dust and gravel shoulder, which runs previous Guglielmo Vineyard. Subsequent I headed over to the canal trails subsequent to US 101. It is a cooperation with Morgan Hill and the Santa Clara Valley Water District, who owns the canals and adjoining right-of manner. The town developed trails, some paved, the remainder packed gravel. The price range wasn’t sufficient to make underpasses at freeway bridges so you need to make your manner again to an adjoining frontage highway (Condit Ave), cross the road, after which reenter the path. This is able to be awkward should you have been doing this for commuting however is okay for recreation functions, particularly at instances of sunshine site visitors. I bought off the canal path at Cochrane Ave and rode some dust trails on some undeveloped land earlier than heading residence after a bit beneath 90 minutes. The experience is posted on Strava right here.

Strava notified me that my good friend Carol Ann had joined the 600K problem and the Gran Fondo Problem for March. You get a “digital finisher’s badge” to your Strava trophy case for finishing these. The 600K is to experience a minimum of that many kilometers in March, and the Gran Fondo is to finish a experience of a minimum of 100K in March. These each match nicely for me as I’m ramping up my mileage anyway. I hadn’t seemed into Strava challenges, they’ve varied ongoing ones in a number of sports activities and at varied ranges of means, they appear enjoyable for motivation.
