Gonna check this place out some afternoon this week. I plan to be rolling by 4 pm and would like to log 6-ish miles. The trail network seems pretty simple to navigate. Anyone down? Probably gonna do Thursday.

What time you looking to start at on Thursday?

4 pm.

Keep us posted on your ride today, and upload a GPS track. I might join you some Monday.

I'm in unless this place really disappoints this afternoon when I ride it.

Hopefully there's a lot of stuff like this:

The GPS tracks on Crankfire look very encouraging:

Looks like a lot of twisty trails in there.

Wish I could make this guys, but there's very little chance that I could make it down there for 4.

I was thinking about trying to make this ride if my foot is feeling better. But after reading Jeff's trip report I am not so sure I want to.

Migs, do you know your way around this place?

I've been a few times but I usually don't pay attention to where we are going so it always looks new to me. :roll: I could probably get us lost if you like.

Hopefully you will be able to get us to a good start point, more than I was able to do. Also do you think it is better to start at the soccer fields or at the end of Tyler Mill Road by the bridge?

it's best to park in the soccer field lot but at the upper section by the community gardens. I'll get us pointed in the right direction but someone should bring a gps track.

If you want link me to what you think is a good CF track and I will upload it.

I guess Greg was looking to meet around 4 so I will see you by the gardens then. I will be driving a navy blue Pacifica.
