HBR is close by and easy to get to and the trails, although somewhat steep in places, are not that difficult.

About 6 of the “Nightriders” showed up for the ride. It was great weather, even though we are still in March.

I took my new Garmin Edge 500 on the ride and was able to later download the data and get a map of where I went. I had to cut the ride short today because it was my birthday and we were going out to dinner.

I uploaded the data file to a website called Strava. You can see all the details here. It lets you name some of the climbs you discover with the Garmin GPS. I needed to figure out the name of the major climb we did, so I found this map of Harvey Bear Ranch and saw the name was Harvey Bear Trail.

Here is a short video I took.
