One of my best friends and old teammate from JMU recently moved out to San Francisco and I happened to be out there on business. We were able to get a quick mt bike ride in one evening before I took at red eye flight home. We rented some awesome demo bikes and hit up famous Camp Tamarancho which is a boy scout camp on 480 acres. Simply put, this was the sickest ride I have ever done. It had just about everything you could imagine. We did about a 10 mile loop being chased by day light. Getting lost would mean a missed flight and a night in the hills. Fortunately the trails were marked pretty well and we only made one wrong turn that didn't cost us too much time.

The highlight of the ride was definitely the Flow Trail, which can be seen on this YouTube video I found online

If these links are broken, just google Tamarancho flow trail on you tube.
The ride was just a perfect end to the week and a coupled with a few Anchorsteams (was hoping for some Pliney's...), I actually slept the whole way home on my red eye for the first time ever.
