Mountain biking is a great way to beat stress and stay in shape. However, many riders shamefully store their ride for the winter even though winter in California offers some of the best, dirtiest riding of the year.

Fifty years ago, the world was a harsher, more primitive placeโat least in terms of adventure sports. Think for a moment about a little route on El Capitan in Yosemite called The Nose. Its slick granite face was difficult for a team of climbers to ascend after weeks of dangerous toil, let alone all-free and in a day. Meanwhile, bicycles of the time didnโt boast suspension forks or disc brakes and surfers couldnโt stay in Northern California waters for longer than a half hour without turning blue. Skiing was still a ballet-like sport best done in stretchy woolens and leather boots, and no one even considered running a marathon, swimming 2.4 miles, and biking 112 miles consecutively while wearing a Speedo.

Their 1994 trip was their third PCT thru-hike since 1987 and followed summer treks on the other two legs of what he referred to as the โTriple Crownโ of long-distance hiking โ the Continental Divide and Appalachian trails.

The twilight of summer and the onset of fall is arguably the most peaceful time of year in this bold landscape tucked away from Californiaโs swarming population centers by a little range of hills called the Sierra Nevada.

All State Parks in Big Sur Area Closed Due to Highway 1 Road Slip Out ๐โ
โ
Due to the road slip out on Highway 1 at Rocky Creek in Monterey County, all State Parks in the Big Sur Area are now closed to day use and camping. โบ๏ธ That includes Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park, Andrew Molera State Park, Limekiln State Park, Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and Point Sur State Historic Park. โ
โ
State Parks will continue to work closely with Caltrans and CHP to assess impacts to the highway and will update closures as road conditions allow. ๐งAll camping reservations will be cancelled, and refunds will be processed. โ

An exact timeline on when these parks will reopen depends on road repairs. For more on those repairs, please contact Caltrans. ๐ฅโ
