I went mountain biking on an actual trail last weekend: Penasquitos Canyon. It was fun, as long as I didn't dwell too much on the fact that I was riding very fast over large rocks, or on a narrow path with a uphill slope on one side and a downhill slope on the other (with lots of painful-looking things to land on). Momentum is your friend, especially through sand. Beautiful day, too. We did about 14 miles. Path included a waterfall. It's amazing that I had driven past the park many times and never knew it was there. More discovery to do in this town!
