Willow Ridge Trail passes through a woodsy area for half a mile or so, and there's no breeze in here, just heat. Beautiful scenery, but tough with a bike. A few downed trees provide obstacles to get the bike past, while encroaching poison oak all along this narrow section brush up against my saddlebags (a hiker could easily avoid it though).
