4 Jan 2009 - Ridgeline Trails, Fox Hollow Trailhead I was a bit sore after my Blanton run, so followed it up with a quick loop of Fox Hollow. This was indeed quick, only took about 15 minutes. Temps were a bit cooler, at 41 degrees. Clothing, similar, better gloves this time: * Icebreaker Mondo Zip top * Patagonia Wool mix 2nd layer * Craft heavy winter cycling gloves - much warmer and nice, without being too bulky. * The usual Smartwool socks and XT Wings shoes
I'm a cyclist (mountain biker at heart, but spend a lot of time on the road as well), trail runner (no pavement for me!), skier, hiker, like to camp, romp in rivers, and generally spend as much time as I can in the mountains. I also love to surf and hang at the beach, but I don't get to do that much these days. I moved to Eugene, OR a few years ago, and am continuing to explore my local outdoor opportunities. The Lake Tahoe area of Northern CA is probably my favorite place to mountain bike (love the rocky trails!), but I love to ride any new trail I can get my hands on.
I also post trip reports from friends here; guys like Matt who is based in Silverton and skiing as much backcountry as he can year round (he goes to Las Lenas every summer), Rich, another backcountry skier as well as kayaker, and so on. Good times.
