Headed out on July 3rd and wanted to get some time in on the mountain bike. I headed out to Santiago Canyon solo and got going on the ride. I took alot of photos this time around and just had a good mellow ride out there. Not many people at all out, so I had the range all to myself basically. Ride was 2:40, 25.8miles, 4,000′ elev gain. Great way to start the weekend.

The Climb up Blackstar, all socked in with overcast haze.

The look back down the first 1/4 of the climb or so.

Cattle Crossing.

Shot just below “the ball.” Many batches of white flowers here and there.

Looking onwards towards more Main Divide climbing.

Shadows and San Bernardino Mtns. in the background. Low Clouds covering everything in between.
