Crafton Hills

The Crafton Hills fireroad starts by the tennis courts at Crafton Hills College. It goes up a few miles and you get some options of some nice singletrack trails which end up either in or near Yucaipa Regional Park. There are many options you have as far as loops go. I'll post more about those some other time.

Today I did the time trial Mike and I would do sometimes. He's since moved to Wisconsin (hope he's at least enjoying his road bike) so I'm on my own with this time trial for now. My fastest times have always come with him starting a couple minutes behind me and trying to catch me.

The ride starts where the gate is, right where the dirt road starts, just past the golf course. It ends about 2.4 miles up the fireroad right where it flattens out for a short stretch.

I went 19:41 today. I don't feel too bad anytime I can get under 21 minutes so today went pretty well. My best time is 17:41. Mike's best is 16:25, which he did trying to chase me down when I rode my 17:41. 16:25 is awfully good when I think about how hard I had to work just to get under 18 minutes.
