Boney Mountain, Point Magu State Park, California

When I first hiked this place, it was freshly blackened by fire and I would never quite know what it was like before that event. This time, it was bright green with spring. That was peak bagging. This was a long loop through rolling land. I let geocachers guide me to waterfalls and water carved rocks and simple fossils before rolling my way back through the spring green hills. From April 2018.

Boney Mountain 21k Race Report

Boney Mountain 21k Race Report

13.1 miles, 2,700 ft of climbing

Boney Mtn Xterra Trail Race. This was re-scheduled from January, cuz it got rained out. But, I think this is much better time of year. The sun was out, the flowers were gorgeous and the hills were green. Much different from a few years ago, after the wildfires. That year, the course looked like a moon-scape. This year, the brush was way over grown, scratchy…

13.1 miles, 3:07 moving time. Sunny, but super strong winds. Pretty much blown off the mountain all day long. This race was postponed earlier this year due to the heavy rains. So, it was definitely not raining, but hurricane force winds. Details below group pictures. GT, Tyler, Deanna, Mike, Rudy, Gregg, Bryan, Lynda, Ben, Joel, Bill, Joe .

This was my first race of the year. It was great. I had a great time. Felt pretty good on course and personal PR by 25 minutes.

The fun started early with a van ride to the Boney Mountain. Left at 5.45am. Lynda, Bill, Danny, Ben, Bryan, Amy, Bob, Luis and I rode in the van. GT, Henry met us at the Parking area, at the shopping center in the swanky suburbs of Newbury Park. We picked up our bibs and chips and then a short bus ride to the starting/finishing line. Beautiful dawn at the starting line, misty with a cool breeze. There was a bag drop off so we could stay bundled up until the start time. There were plenty of port-o-potties and real potties at the start line. Trail runs have a cool vibe. Trail runners are the Subaru crowd compared to the Lexus/Toyota of crowds at Surf City. Brennan, the race director is cool. I said ‘hi’. Robbie is another Pasadena Pacer friend, he was actually wearing a shirt today.

This race is brutally hard. Tough long climbs and scary fast descents. The terrain used to be beautiful, but a couple years ago a wildfire burnt everything out. Now it’s just the burnt stumps. Rains have rutted out some of the trails. Watch out! I wore a camelback for hydration, the water was few and far between. There was a fortuitous potty and water stop at mile 6, just before the long long climb. I saw horse on the trail too.

My friends Paul and Bill placed in their AGs. Ben is recovering from a foot issue. So he was run-walking. So, although I technically smoked him today, it was more like kicking him while he was down. I smoked Lynda today fair and square, payback for November’s Revel Canyon disaster.

After everyone came in, we had a luxurious breakfast at Side St. Cafe. I had a wonderful Strawberry Waffle Combo (eggs over medium, bacon mostly crisp), lots of water and coffee. We drove back and traffic wasn’t that bad. Super fun day.
