Riding at Whiskeytown, California

I've been spending a few days this past week riding around the trails at Whiskeytown. Although it's been about 100 degrees every day, most trails are somewhat in the shade. I started off easy by riding the 4.6 round trip Oak Bottom Water Ditch Trail. It is simply a quick little ride with only 20 feet elevation increase from 1220 to 1240. It loops around the Whiskeytown Lake and is good to get fly on. Had to watch out for the occassional hiker or jogger, but other than that, a good speed run.




Lately I moved over to the Clear Creek Canal Trail. This is a 4.5 mile one way trail that is pretty fun. Had to go around some downed trees and let some horses go by, but other than that, this trail is well worth it. Some parts are pretty rocky as well. I have a few more days here in California, maybe I will return to this trail or try something new.
