Another Spring 2014 Coe group ride…
We began by climbing the Jim Donnelly Trail. The formerly banked Canary Turn (http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g427/SorcererExpeditions/Donnelly%20McConnell/100_0121.jpg) is now flat:

I think those guys building the Soquel Demo Flow Trail stole it for their project.

At the top of Jim Donnelly Trail (& Steer Ridge Road).
15 minutes later and the sun was out. Dew on Fiddlenecks was the only remaining evidence of the overcast and mist:

Paul & Chris had camped the night before and Chris couldn't sleep but she still managed to finish the ride!
At the top, we turned on to Serpentine Trail:

Here's Tom finishing Rose Dam:

I was pretty happy with the results of Wednesday's brushing of the trail.
