Met up with o3jeff and Grassi around 1...Not sure about all the trails were on cause ive only ridden there a few times..We did both sides of scoville then headed across 69..Trails were fairly dry with a few slick spots here and there..Anyways I think Jeff said we logged about 5 miles!! Fun ride!! I hope things can be worked out with the water dept...This is definately a great place to ride!!! O3jeff was riding point most of the time and had some type of cologne on to attract some of the local cougars...but unfortunately there were no sightings!

We were living on the edge and parked at the Scoville lot since it might be the last time we're allowed to park there. Also not knowing the future of the NBWD trails, were figured we might as well ride them as well. Went down Hinmans then crossed over 69 and took the Ye Olde 69'er. Only my second time ever riding it and first in this direction, what a real fun trail with some nice rollers! At the end we headed towards the FKC and then took the fire road back to the Jeeps.

Like always Grassi hit every bridge without thinking twice about them. My highlight was riding the short funky skinny on the 69'er on my third try.

Good slow paced ride and we only came across one person the whole ride.

Sounds like a nice ride. I wanted to make the ride, but I just couldn't get my shit together in time.

From the other thread...

I rode the area yesterday with powhunter and 03jeff. I was riding one of the shorter skinnies and crushed my coccyx. I don't think its more than a bruise but damn is it hard to sit down.

Despite that, great ride. I hit a few bridges on the first try and hit a couple of rollers after a couple of looks. Great riding with those guys as always.

I have to upload the track so I can update my signature, but I think I should be close on breaking a hundred miles for the year.
