Cycling Rancho San Vicente park in South San Jose, CA

in #steemitmtb6 years ago

Hello all, this is my mtb ride from May 2nd at Rancho San Vicente park in South San Jose. (Loaded after a few days of crypto analysis). The shot below is from the trail above Calero Reservoir.

The ride was 25 miles and 1.5k of climbing on a 70* f day. Pretty much perfect weather for cycling!

GPS data is from a Garmin Vivoactive HR and uploaded to Strava.

The trail is mostly a 'double' track that weaves it's way through the green foothills which are just starting to dry out before summer.

One of the bridges built over a small creek on the trail. The mtb is a 2010 Norco Team Carbon hardtail. It suits this place as all of the trails are fairly smooth.

Lot of small yellow flowers to add color to the trail

I passed 2 deers which both ran away and up a hill. One of them ran to the top of a small ridge and was watching me from above... Since this park is fairly new, they are not used to seeing mtb'ers. I also saw a wild turkey and 2 small black snakes which both squirmed their way into the grass.

Happy Friday!

The lake, it's blue water and the greeny surrounding are looking very beautiful. The picture of deer and the purple flower make your total package an outstanding look. Very nice photography. Thank you.

@transparencybot posts are not directly related to the content of the originators post and are unsolicited, which by definition is spam.

The payouts listed by @transaparencybot do NOT deduct the original amount that was submitted to the bidbot or the amount for curation.

Everybody knows I, @bycoleman have used bidbots in the past, I have stated this clearly on several occasions, In-fact, I have instructed others on how to use them.

The profits from these boosted posts were donated or given back to the platform via contests.

I lease SP from an individual not MN, build team is simply the intermediary, and they do a very fine job with this.

Yes, I have several accounts that I believe are assets to the platform, which I support directly and indirectly to ensure they are able to perform as they are intended. @Tranparencybot is non-profit, these votes will not return back to me.

I do hope to profit from my other services, it takes a great deal of time and resources to create and maintain these and each of them I believe are assets to the community. Each person is free to judge accordingly.

Is your intent transparency or to discredit the messenger?

I believe most people can see our motives pretty clearly.
