Definitely check it out if you haven’t already, it’s a sweet trail and a good way to end a ride with a beer. Thanks, where's the entrance? I usually start at Champion Park, do Candyland, then continue west and hit (most) everything until I get to the YMCA, then hit a bunch of stuff again on the way back (Dave's Ditch, Rim, Picnic, Peddlers, Candyland again). Would be a good way to end the ride since I start/end at the eastern section.. I've known about this trail, but completely forgot about it since I've never ridden it.

The easiest way to find the trail is to start at RedHorn /Peddlers . The trail head is just down the grass hill behind the bank and Sonic. But if you wanna access it from the bcrt you need to take that tunnel under pass under Brushy Creek rd. Then take the neighborhood street Walsh Trail the majority of the way . from there are a few different ways to get to the dirt trail. Zoom in on his strava to see one option. Or I van send more detailed turn list if needed. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Thank you, @First-Blood! I'll definitely look for this next time I'm out there, which will be when it's warmer and not wet! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Trails are g2g. Just watch for some low spots and slick limestone. Almost busted my butt a couple of times on Double Down. New Peddlers section is sweeeetttt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree Magnet Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 Gonna have to hit this when it stops raining in July. [emoji849]Just a heads up on this tunnel. I remember riding past it one year and seeing no less than 10 snakes hanging out in some water in that tunnel. It was nightmare fuel straight out of Indiana Jones. I think it had flooded or something recently. I’ll take snakes over cars but don’t scream like a girl if that stick you’re about to bunny hop starts moving.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First-Blood Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 I have never seen any snakes in there. Are you sure they weren't just earth worms and your fight or flight took over. [emoji38]Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a light under there or something and I remember seeing the snakes, not believing what I was seeing, and turning around to check it out. They were snakes and there were more than a few. I think what happened is that it had some water in it from the flood and possibly had some fish or critters collected down there. The snakes were having a buffet and could have given two shits about some biker trying not to crap his pants. Even after that, I'd still take that tunnel if the traffic was bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No biggie. If Mittens was chilling that's different but Rat snakes eating sushi is cool.I like when they do that over by the train trestle by Muligan.

Morris Posted February 10, 2019 Share Posted February 10, 2019 (edited) I had one of those moving branches under my front wheel las year. It made a good effort to get me. I thought it was mittes because it rattled. That is why the picture is far away. But forum experts say rat snakes do that sound sometimes. I don’t have that in my country so it really got in my head. Kept making up imaginary snakes pop up on my rides for like 3 months. Life hasn’t been the same 😅 Edited February 10, 2019 by Morris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morealice Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I’m REALLY hoping I can hit the trail tomorrow around 11am/noon. I’m looking for someone to crush my hopes and dreams of doing that or to say that it might actually be possible. GreenMTB’s Twitter link doesn’t show up for me. :/ any insight would be greatly appreciated. Hoping sun and wind today will dry off rocks and make things ok to ride? *cringe* & *wince* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMTBrider Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 Booooooooo! Right now it’s still slick city. At work now and won’t be home until late this evening, but I’ll check things out later tonight or early tomorrow morning. If anyone checks out progress later let us know. Freakin dying to get on the trails. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tree Magnet Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 With all this rain and lack of riding wearing on us, it might be worth considering an organized work day to address any problems you're seeing out at Brushy. The crappy weather and need to get some dirt under our feet is good motivation to go out and dig. The regular Walnut riders have turned the R&I into an S&I (Shovel and Imbibe) tonight at 5:30 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shinerider Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 WhooHoo. And i saw all the flags on the south side of the road heading towards the last road bridge intersection. Looks like they might be putting in a small parking lot where the ranch fence is under Creek Bend Blvd bridge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotdurt Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I'll probably head over some time tomorrow; if it's not ridable, I'll probably resume the stump removal project that I started a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I walked the rim trail today at lunch, and it was nearly completely dry. Totally rideable. Plus it was sunny and windy, so stuff is going to be drying out pretty quickly. If I was one of the inhabitants of this thread that seem to ride either Brushy or nothing, I'd ride this evening for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomreece Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 (edited) I will ride 1/4 Notch tonight at 4:30pm. Please don't judge me! I'll contribute to a trail building day! I swear! Edited February 12, 2019 by tomreece 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
