Yeah, it's one of those descents that I don't even want to think about what happens if I go over the edge. Fast and technical too, it averages 12% for 1.5 miles.
There are some cool trees around here. I'm a bit of a nerd about trees, so I'm always on the lookout for large or interesting trees.

Zim Smith trail in Ballston Spa NY.
looking south towards Underpass Road.
Very unusual to have nobody in sight, this trail is almost always crowded on a nice day.

West side. I actually live on the west slope, but it's a short drive over the hill to the east side climbs...I'm not far from Tahoe. As you probably know, the climbs/roads are definitely different between the 2 sides.

Unfortunately I have not been able to stray very far from the house. But I did a watercolor of a picture I found on the net. I don't know who took the picture but it has stayed with me so I put it to paper...

Does an asphalt path count as a road, since it is a road for cyclists, and empty?
