Morealice Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Best Meditative Ride 2019 So Far Woke up pouty this morning with dumbass foggy mist. Decided to say fuck it (cue bill oreilly .gif) and do a slick rock ranch (wet brushy) ride anyway. I decided I would stay positive and enjoy the ride no matter what since I knew the dirt should be ok (still hero). Was humid as hell but oh well...reminded me of a bit more comfortable summer morning riding towards the end when the sun was out. What’s peculiar to me is which rocks are wet and which aren’t...seems random but I’m sure it isn’t...something to do with weeping or some such shit perhaps. Anyway, Snot Rock was treacherous but Jammer was dry...I dunno. Anyway, it’s turning out to be a pretty sick day and if you can, go gobble it up!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailrider77 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 My son and I rode Suburban Ninja trail system behind the Peddles Bike shop. Each time we go back there is more stuff added. And now there is major activity on what looks like to be a pump track. All smiles. Mileage keeps growing. Luv that trail system.

I was wearing a florescent yellow shirt. Edited February 28, 2019 by RedRider3141 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I rode 23 miles out there today, it was fantastic! Glad I got a ride in before the weather turns to crap tomorrow.. https://www.strava.com/activities/2180583966 ..Al 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new section is like Disney World for MTB. A little bit of everything. Luv the elevation and roller coaster drops.

AntonioGG Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If I'm correct, that new section that seems to dead-end doesn't actually. Was this a section that goes along the creek with some blue flags? At some point before it seems to dead-end, there's a right turn at the bottom of a g-out, and you ride on the dry creek bed for a while before looping back to the start of this new loop.

Yeah, that's right. The G-out is clearly a trail but the straight path that leads to the dead end wasn't clearly blocked off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a complete loop, that includes the dry section of the creek. The dead end on the cliff will continue and connect to the sidewalk on 1431, then there will likely be an expansion on the park property on the east side of Brushy Creek...and finally a trail to my back yard just another .5 mile away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't ridden the whole thing, but some light Strava creeping shows it to be 0.9 miles long. Which means my new everything loop will be about 31.5 miles.

RedRider3141 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I have a question about SN. While riding I noticed several things that looked like sprinkler control boxes and Sprinkler heads. What's the deal, is that area some failed development or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 31 minutes ago, Barry said: https://strava.app.link/Ohu9JVplGU Thanks! That's similar to what I did yesterday, except I only rode half of Deception (didn't do Double Down), and have yet to ride that new stuff behind the Peddler Bike Shop. And I rode all of Peddler's Pass twice. Would be great to have a 30+ mile "loop" without having to repeat too much. When the weather is nice again, the trails are dry, and I start at a reasonable time (not 4pm like I did yesterday), I'll hit that new trail.. What is it called again?

But you'll really be able to push that mileage up when the new pump track (or is it a jump line?) behind Peddler's is complete. And it looked close last weekend.
