[RC] The Quicksilver Endurance ride on Oct. 23 near San Jose, CA - Michael Maul

Posted for the Quicksilver Endurance Club.

The Quicksilver Endurance Club of San Jose, Ca is putting on their Fall ride on Oct. 23. It's a very nice ride and easy to get to in the Bay area.

***********************************************************************
QUICKSILVER FALL CLASSIC 50/25 will be held October 23 in Calero and Quicksilver County Parks near San Jose. This year we have added many new trails in Quicksilver. Next year there will be even more new trails located in Calero. For those of you that have done this ride in the past, come and see what we have added.

Trilby Pederson has hand made all of the awards. She has made beautiful quits, blankets and pillow cases for completion, top ten, Junior, first place, best condition, etc.

The San Jose Firefighters are providing a great BBQ dinner after the ride. The last time the Firefighters barbecued it was big success.

Following is a little information on the park that is interesting even for those who have ridden there before. Quicksilver County Park is spectacular in natural diversity and a landmark of California history. The park is the site of over 135 years of mining activities and former home to more than 1,800 miners and their families. The park encompasses 4,147 acres, occupying a majority of Capitancillos Ridge. During early spring, the park offers one of the most spectacular wildflower displays in the region. Remnants of the mining era also offer an exciting look into the mining operations of the latter part of the 19th century.

Calero County Park is one of Santa Clara County's most diverse regional park and recreation areas. Once part of the Pueblo lands of San Jose, and the Rancho San Vincente land grant, this 3,476-acre park is nestled in the eastern foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Two distinct areas define this park: the reservoir, which offers a host of water-oriented recreational activities, and the adjoining "back country" which reveals to the visitor California Oak woodland, chapparal riparian plant communities and associated wildlife habitats.
