Albert Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Haven't been out there in a few weeks due to vacation, wonder if any new trail was built in that time. 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cafeend Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Has anyone investigated the feasibility of constructing some tasty singletrack along the Brushy Creek Regional Trail? I've started looking into it officially since there is a severe shortage of singletrack up there. The main trail is nice, but it does not offer much in the way of challenge and/or riding experience. I was wondering if anyone had officially looked into having legal singletrack built and what his/her experience has been? (Was the proposal met with complete opposition, open-mindedness, reservation)?? I personally, along with some riders I have talked to along the trail, would LOVE to see some nice singletrack up that way....the land is PERFECT for building sustainable, flowy singletrack from what I can see. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Save those thoughts for the new park they'll be building to the west of Brushy Creek. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeuser Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Rode Deception SUNDAY, first time in over a month and to me the trails seemed groomed or well traveled...anyway not much of the loose stuff I was anticipating. Very sweet ride had I... Maybe it was one of those trail angels I hear about. 🎶✅↔️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throet Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 (edited) Something ain't right when the Brushy Creek thread falls to page 2! Fixed. Just rode Double Down end to end for the first time since probably May. Had to stop a few times to catch my breath, but it actually felt really good getting my ass kicked. EDIT: There's a low hanging cedar branch that clipped my helmet really hard! It's right at the beginning of that climb that is around the bend after descending from Ray's Collarbone. Just as I was accelerating to get up that climb - BAM! I went back to see if I could somehow bend it back off the trail but that was a no go. Not sure how it got to the state it is in, but I've ridden that section of trail hundreds of times without ever even noticing it. Oh and I actually learned at the doctor's office that I'm an inch shorter than I used to be; so no, I'm not getting taller.

MrMentallo Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 What is it with you and banging your head? Riding style? You aren't abnormally tall or doing anything obviously different from anybody else. You aren't a crappy rider either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cheif's riding in the morning, I'll get him to check that spot out with me. I'd like to believe that particular cedar is posing a legitimate threat to other riders too, but maybe it's just me.

I just think everything is growing and needs a little trimming! I took my helmet off my head pre hopping into the ditch by the regional trail the other day! I’ve done that hundreds of times and never had a problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSarge Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 I came through that section in the other direction yesterday and didn't notice anything especially low. Then again it was hot and I might have been hunched over my handlebars begging for air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it will be more technical than Walnut? If so, please indicate by how many notches (in quarter increments). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throet Posted August 24, 2018 Share Posted August 24, 2018 It was great getting the Fri morning ride back on track today. Still missing #Morris, but #Cafeend joined me and #Chief this morning. Those guys both have to go to work though, while I get to fix omelets for me and my wife and then take a nap. I'm going to post this up in the Ride Calls section as a regular Fri morning thing in case others are interested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's my Strava from this morning (including to and from my house). We rode part of Picnic, then 1/4 Notch W-E, then Peddlers. Those guys split and then I rode Rim and Snail to finish things off. Definitely a casual pace but we'll likely pick it up once the weather cools. https://www.strava.com/activities/1794321994 Edited August 24, 2018 by throet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
