this is the perfect loop for me at the moment: a little over 3.5km and not much elevation. I was very tired at the end - since my surgeon told me I could ditch the corset, my back get really achy and tired, but it seems to be going in the right direction.

Lots of bikers on the loop too. I go here a lot in the spring since it's the first place to clear of snow. I just wish it was a little bit longer...

One of the best trails bites the dust. The proliferation of trails in the last 2 years, combined with a very dry summer and lots of walkers, bikers, dogs, etc. in the park has the naturalists worried. So, they’re shutting everything down. Kinda sucks, but I see their point. Was fun while it lasted.

got up to wilsons yesterday. still not a ton of color, surprisingly. @AngryMetalsmith @SuboptimusPrime @jackalope last pic is of the soon-to-be-opened new end of yancey. nothing like the old end, unfortunately. new work out there tends to be "sustainable" and thus contour rather than ridgeline. fun, i guess, but it all feels the same. fortunately there's enough out there still un-fucked with.






Could you please tell what the name of that peak in the background? Excellent photos by the way... Jim

South March Highlands?
Close. A few KMs as the crow flies. Carp Barrens. It's flat, and a really short loop at less than 3.5 km. But it's pretty technical, and all on shield. It drains well and tends to melt off first. A couple of laps in each direction makes it a worthwhile destination.

Got up early this morning and hit the new DH flow trail up high. Was ok, but marginal snow cover is marginal an disappearing fast (turning to mud). Did about 10 miles there. Then did a big loop around the city with friends and after 42 more miles and peeling off I hit a brewery on the way back for beer and burrito. Saw the whitest dog I’ve ever seen. Good rides overall.

where the trails are
Any good? Always wondered if it was worth the drive for us.

You ridden lefthand?
I think it is. Rolling terrain, dirt, bunch of rock sections. One horrible set of stairs up out of the creek, unrideable either direction. We parked on the west side (Crescent Meadows lot) and went clockwise from there.

I've not ridden Lefthand, but I'd like to someday.
