The Infamous Wrong Way Loop
We carved this trail at Lake Sonoma many moons ago - maybe 1995 or 1996. Who knows. A long time ago. A notorious loop, starts innocently enough by entering off a fire road under some trees onto a nice singletrack. Then the singletrack meanders out in a field for awhile - no shade, no nuttin'. A bit warm out there. Watch for a few rocks on the trail and a couple of hidden depressions (just off the trail) near the end and then it dumps you out back on the fireroad - about 20 yards from where you entered.
Definitely a point where people have cheated (lame) because this junction is not watched during the race. They put up some sticks to guide you onto the trail. Yes it is hot. Yes, you are miserable. But don't be out there if you're going to cheat.
Will it be part of the course this Sunday? We shall see...
