19 Oct 2008 Coe Hike a bike

[mynameismud]

Mudworm, Delbomber, Dave and Me
About 33 Miles and about 7,000 ft of climbing.  Rode out to Mississippi Lake, something that I have wanted to do for a long time. 

Delbomber was climbing every hill there, while the rest of us pushed. 

Here's to sweat in your eye

That was not a hike a bike! The flow on this ride was a lot better than some earlier ones. What a fun trip!!! See my trip report (with link to pix).

Gilroy Hot Springs Road (paved) -> R: Coit Road (from Coyote Creek Entrance gate, fire road, to the first split) ->  R: Spike Jones Trail (Stay on it, Grizzly Gulch Trail goes left at one point; then at next split where Tim Trail merges in from the right, stay left ) -> R: Tim Trail (fun going down it with many buildup jumps) -> Spike Jones Trail -> R: Grizzly Gulch Trail -> L: Dexter Trail (a couple of touch short climbs followed by mellow climbs) -> L: Wasno Road -> R: Kelly Lake Trail-> R: Coit Road ->L: Willow Ridge Road (8+ miles of rolling hills) -> Mississippi Lake (Yeah!!!) -> back trace Willow Ridge Road (for a short Distance) -> L: Pacheco Ridge Road -> R: Coit Road -> L: Live Oak Spring Road (a nice alternative to Coit Road, it goes into Wagon Road) -> L: Wagon Road (Follow it for 4-5 miles) -> R: Bowl Trail (towards Willson Camp) -> L:Lyman Willson Ridge Trail (make sure you do not continue on Bowl, which gets nasty. Lyman Willson is a sweet whoop-de-do single track) -> R: Hunting Hollow Road
