I actually think this is really smart. Lots of time to ride when this is all over, but if you sustain a major injury right now, could be really bad if you need a long hospital stay. Me, myself - I've switched over to my other hobby - disc golf early in the morning when social distancing is ez 🙂

Wow that’s awesome. I live in Stone Canyon, right near where the trail ends at Harry Man road. It would be super cool if the connection was built to allow access to thIs section along 620.

I've basically stopped riding PP on the weekend because of this. The last Sunday I rode there, I came around a corner and there was some dude jogging behind his toddler on a balance bike going the wrong way. That was almost a disaster. About another half a mile in, I wiped out when I guy's dog ran out of no where right in front of me. Mountain biking is challenging enough without trying to avoid toddler and dogs lol.

Rode peddlers this morning and it was straight titties

Just rolled up on the biggest coyote I've ever seen out on Suburban Ninja. He was just sitting there staring in someones back yard, then saw me coming and took off. Pretty sure he was about to eat someone's pet lol.

Today was the first time I was able to get through gumdrop without clipping a pedal, putting my foot down, or tumbling into the creek. #goals

One of the reasons I prefer Peddlers over 1/4 is this...unless someone is going the wrong way on PP, you don't have to worry about smoking someone head on. The other reason is because 1/4 crushes me and my rigid SS every single time lol.

I agree, went out there again today and found even more trails I hadn't found before. So much fun. Best part was, I needed to fax something, so I went to that UPS store on Parmer, and basically rode trails the entire way from my house until I popped out by the fire station. Probably the most fun I've ever had running a lame errand lol.

Yeah man - if you need motivation to get your kiddo off the video games and out of the house, take him on a bike ride. It was a real eye opener for me. When I got home, my wife and I decided the kids are going to start earning time on electronics based on how much time they spend outside. Especially here in brushy creek, they have NO idea how blessed they are with the parks and trails we have around here.

Awesome, that is exactly my speed. I've been riding for about a year and ride a single speed 29er with no suspension. I can hold my own but definitely don't break any strava KOM's out there.

FWIW, I would totally be down for the New Years ride if that happens. Live up here on Brightwater/Great Oaks and I'm always looking for people to ride with.

Ah yes, maybe on the way back. He wiped out shorty after this pic, then wanted to go home and play fortnite lol. It was a magical day for about 30 minutes up until then tho.

Spent about 2 hours wandering around SN yesterday, and discovered that little section listed on Strava as "I hang to the left." So many beautiful trails out there. Also, I decided I really like the fact that it's not signed or marked, gives a sense of adventure you can't find anywhere else in brushy. As long as you don't try to sneak in a ride on a lunch break lol The landscape out there is different than the rest of brushy, feels more wild and remote with all of the trees. Took a super cool pic of my son on Christmas day riding the bridge about halfway up SN. Really hope the bulk of the SN area sticks around after all of the development is complete. #keepSNwild

Actually, looking at this map and my Strava map from yesterday, it doesn't look like the trails will be affected by that Alamo. I rode all the way up to the church and didn't come close to the corner of Parmer and Ranch trails, which is where they show the Alamo will be built...

We outta go all tree hugger and just all chain ourselves to the trails when they start trying to clear it out? Suburban ninja is way more important than another Alamo

Yeah I agree - I was annoyed that I was lost just cause I had a work thing to get back to, but it’s kinda cool and different that the rest of the trails around brushy creek. I’m already planning on going out there on Saturday and just riding around for 3 hours and getting lost on purpose

Oh yeah I totally agree. I would be all about helping to put some signs out and help people figure out what is going on out there. Maybe once all those trails are done at the church, there can be a push to get the trails marked a little better

I mean I’m just super grateful that people built a badass network of trails out there for me to ride so I’m not going to complain

Trails were great, no caking.

Went for a “quick” ride on suburban ninja on my lunch break. Ended up getting lost AF and wandering around for an hour and a half. Almost missed a conference call. My Strava map cracked me up

Where is RPR?

Hit up peddlers pass before work. I’m newish to riding so I’m not exactly sure what the term hero dirt means, but I feel like the dirt at PP has to be close to that category right now. Just flying around corners and feels like your wheels are glued to the ground there’s so much traction

I just finished my lunch time ride in Candyland where I encountered two teenage boys on the east side of gumdrop without helmets AND in flip flops. Anyone who's riden the first half of gumdrop knows it's just a bunch of roots trying to clip your pedals and send you down the rocky hill to the river. No clue what those boys thought they were doing out there in flip flops.

Eastside is just as bad, I rode some of gumdrop and snow white then turned around on road home on the BCRT . Way sticky and muddy out there.
