Today was my 5th day riding my Red Sticker Honda CRF250R dirt bike at Hollister Hills SVRA. It had rained heavily the week before, and I was eager to explore all the muddy trails at Hollister Hills SVRA.
By now, most of the trails had dried off, and only a few patches of wet mud remained.

The bike started and ran much better since I replaced the Twin Air filter with the Honda OEM version. At first, I rode a few loops around the Vintage Track to warm up the bike and me.
Then, I rode the Harmony Gate road for more warm-up time. Harmony Gate is a straightforward trail. After that warm-up, I rode the TT Track for a few laps (to work on my cornering skills) and the long Rancho Road loop. The views from the top were quite lovely.
Here is my GoPro 4 silver video recording of the Harmony Gate trail ride.
After coming back for some refreshments, I decided to try "Lower Field Road," followed by "Back Springs," and then "Back Ridge." I have never done these, so I took it easy on the ascents and descents. There was a lot more mud on these roads. Riding there was a lot of fun, and I will try them again.
I also rode the "Four Corners" trail, which was pretty easy. I had an excellent dirt biking session on this beautiful November day.
Trails ridden today were as follows:
