On June 7 John and I did a mountain bike ride around the front side of China Camp State Park as a preparation for leading this same ride for the California Deaf Wheelers a few weeks in the future. There has been some trail work going in at China Camp so we found that some of the Shoreline Trail has been "improved." It is a much flatter, harder packed trail, making it more like a paved road than a dirt trail. It was a disappointment to John, but he reflected that it is probably easier for beginners with the new harder pack.
Our goal was to make sure that nothing had changed since the last time I had been there and to think about how to manage a group, especially if there were widely varying skill levels.
