I hadn’t ridden in the Cleveland National Forest since before Christmas. There was a break in the rain so I decided to ride Maple Springs to Silverado Motorway with a detour to Modjeska Peak. A few washouts on the Motorway, but surprisingly the trails are in good shape given how much rain has been received this winter (my backyard weather station says 22″ since 10/1/2018).
It was a surprise to see the poppys along the 15 between Corona and Elsinore.
After leaving Modjeska Peak, I wanted to keep rolling so didn’t stop for photos. For all the cars that were parked along the road, I saw 1 other rider and 3 hikers. That is what I love about the Santa Ana mountains.
