The first 0.6 miles of climb has been 'smoothed' with heavy equipment. The resulting surface looks nice but is very fluffy and difficult to ride. The fluffy part ends just after the park bench. Above this the old lumpy surface is in good shape. FYI distance to Chumash trail is roughly 3.8 to 4.0 miles from parking area.
Chumash trail is in good shape.
Please ride in control, I would hate to loose access to this trail. Just a reminder to take it easy on this multi-use trail as we share it with hikers and horses. There have been numerous attempts by the anti-bike crowd to close this precious trail to mountain bikers, so it is up to all of us to demonstrate that we ride responsibly. ET - Hot weeks have made the time to get to the top of Rocky Peak longer, last Sunday took us 45 minutes to top. Road is getting smoother now, after getting to top, the path to the SF valley overlook scrape unprotected shins.
