Re: [RC] [RC] Central Coast Trails - Barbara McCrary
It has been my understanding that services are still
held in the San Antonio Mission. The San Antonio ride was banned from the
area because the mission folk found endurance riders too noisy on Sunday
morning, as I recall the story. The trails are beautiful. We have
ridden in several areas. Wish we could do so again, but many of the trails
are on Hunter Liggett military property, and I think some are closed to public
use.
San Antonio ... I remember that ride from the
70's. It seems like such a long haul to go to back then :) (When you're a kid,
every car ride is LONG) I was crewing for my Dad. Have some great
pictures meeting him crossing at the river at a vet check, that the ride
photographer took. And I remember that the mission was totally in disrepair
and falling down at that time. I understand that they have refurbished it
now. I think my Dad came in 9th ... he only top tenned twice in his life.
Once there and once at Virginia City 100, only because everyone else
got lost :) I'd like to go back to the mission and see what it looks like now.
I remember climbing in and around the crumbling walls.
