Preliminary Review - One ride

Description -   The initial climb up nail trail was technical, up some slab rocks similar to quemazon uphilling, but more loose stuff.  The trail mellows out a bit and gently climbs to top of pajarito canyon trail on some wider trails and eventually singletrack.  Found one cool log ride on the way up - Always bonus points for that..

Pajarito canyon was very cool bench cut singletrack (lean to the left style), with some nice views and tranquil stream.  The trail even passes a nice rock climbing area.  Nothing too technical, but really nice flow, and good scenery.  From here we took the first singletrack right that is the perimeter trail or "reverse traverse" that was nice singletrack through open woods, turning into dirt road singletrack eventually that buzzed downhill to the Canon De Valle trail.  

We went up and back on canon de valle, turning around when the trail turned muddy (rode this in the spring)..  Not sure what the rest of the trail was like but it was pretty mello singeltrack with some loose pea gravel in spots.  Just one or 2 tech sections. 

We missed water canyon, but I hear its good stuff, similar to pajarito canyon downhill, only longer and with a nice log ride!  Dammit Jim..

Took some road back and ventured out on dickless which was a well used trail that connects LANL to Nail trail.  Looks like many lunch rides happen in los alamos, which is great.  I wouldnt bother using Dickless unless you have to, its basically a "get you there" trail, wish I picked water canyon instead.  Next time.. Next time..
