The plan is:

  •  Mountain Biking on the Fort Ord Trails on Saturday (Starting at 10:30 AM at the Reservation Road Entrance). 

  • After riding, we will camp / hang out at Veteran's Memorial Park.  (starting ~4PM)

  • Sunday will be a waterfront paddle of Cannery Row and the Aquarium. (starting ~10:00 AM)

  • If you wish to come early, I will be selecting site(s) and camping at Vet's memorial on Friday night too!

  • Thanks to Greg for pointing out that the swell may be too big for safe kayaking in the ocean this weekend.  To be safe, we are going to observe the threshold set by Monterey Bay Kayaks.  They say that if the swells are over 10 feet, they won't rent.  Click Here to view the swell prediction.  For another swell prediction, Click HERE.

To get to the reservation road entrance of Fort Ord, Drive down Reservation Road from either end.  From the East end of Reservation road, head South on Portola Road for about 0.25 miles..  Parking is at a dead end along this road under some pine trees near a trail head marker and a gate.
