Hollister Hills / Monday / February 20

I promised my `lil cowgirl niece that I'd take her wheeling for her birthday - rain or shine! She barrel races at rodeos up in La Honda and has been dying to get off road and see what its all about.

I thought I'd post up the date here to see if anyone else would like to meet up / tag along - anyone who wants to is welcome!

Monday - February 20 (President's Day Holiday) - Hollister Hills SVRA - 10am a till ??

Have you ever been to Hollister when raining or just after?

FYI, the clay can get real slippery on some of the roads/trails. Pretty bad feeling to turn the wheels and have no effect as you approach a curve w/ a drop on the other side.

I have always waited a couple of weeks after a rain until it has had a chance to dry out.

Agreed, it is nasty when wet. Stay away from the steep stuff.

Yea - I understand that all too well.

I'll just have to see what the weather holds for the next few days. A little rain and I'm not too bothered - just sticking to the easy trails (green circles an the lower ranch map) or, if its raining piss and grim, we'll reschedule for a later time.

Thanks for the heads up.

I'm off too. If the rains stays away between now and then, I'll come on out. I'll let your niece know that 4-wheeling isn't just a guy thing...just like rodeos and barrel racing.
