Another great fall ride.



I rode a new trail today: The Watchman. It was quite a bit longer than I thought it would be. The builders must have put a ton of effort into its creation. It is basically carved into the side of a very steep hill. It looks like they moved a lot of dirt and rocks. Excellently constructed switchbacks too. I love it when bikers build trails!

I accessed it from the 5 Mile Gulch trail. I haven't ever ridden up it before so it was nice to enjoy the scenery for once instead of railing the downhill. It was a bit of a grunt to get up to the Watchman trail, but once I was on it the grade was quite mellow, especially for riding it in the uphill direction.
