The last time I mountain biked on the John Nicholas Trail was May 3, 2020. I had a fantastic time; this is one of my favorite bike trails in Los Gatos.
I really enjoy biking on the John Nicholas trail in the fall. The leaves are turning yellow, red, and all the shades of the rainbow. The temperature is cool - in the high 60s - not too hot or cold. In addition, the steep ascent to the top is compensated by a thrilling downhill ride to the bottom.
The single track here is exciting: there are bridges, steep ascents and descents, narrow trails, and sharp 360-degree turns. The scenery is stunning, with beautiful trees, steep ravines, bridges, and rocks.
I recorded the ride's downhill (the more thrilling portion) using my GoPro Hero7 mounted on my helmet (as the bike mount offers a less compelling point of view).
Here is a high-definition video:
Here are my Strava stats from my November 3, 2020, ride. My overall time has improved from 1:24 to 1:18 (a 6-minute decrease)
