I am an aging but fit XC rider on a 100mm travel hard tail and I frequently ride up the Aptos Creek fire road to the entrance of Demo. I would like to start tacking on Demo loops without killing myself. (I mostly ride solo during the week.)
What would be the easiest loop to tack on that returns me back to the top of the fire road? What would be the approximate mileage and climbing of this loop. Also what would be the shortest loop that I can tack on (assuming that one is different from easiest)?
My technical abilities are limited. I ride Wilder and UCSC without a problem but I know that Demo is in a different league.
There have been some discussions on the topic but not sure what trails are currently open and how much things have changed. So, I'd appreciate any sage advice. Thanks.
Oh, I know there is a campground near the trails. Is there potable water available anywhere?
