No one does ride report here much so let me start it over.

I felt really lazy to ride this afternoon but decided to go anyways. First, I was going to go to SCST, then changed my mind to Lake Hodges East Side, but laziness won over and I drove to the nearest trailhead, Lake Calavera in MILF Town Carlsbad.

The turns were so sharp and the trail builders strategically planted poison oak where youd overcook them.

17 miles in 2.5 hours, with lots of figure 8 and in and out back. Lots of hike-a-bike of my choice. Whatever it was, it's nice to feel slightly better being able to ride my bike again.

I don’t know how legal most of the trails I venture into today were, but I was lost. That’s like my insanity plea if prosecuted. Long live mountain biking. Long live Ade The Champ.
