i'd love to do waldo. i've done a down and back on the waldo trail and it took me 1 hr 15 min. that was a pretty quick pace. but we can always add the fire rode and fishermens trail. twisty flat and hugs the river.

[Grassi21]

how bout 2 pm? we could be done between 4 and 4:30 depending on us tacking on the fire road and fishermans trail.

 

[powhunter]

2 sounds good!

 

[2knees]

how is that trail? you know where i'm gonna go with this........

 

[powhunter]

i'll try to give you a decent run down from memory. i rode the where's waldo trail back to back days last week. the first day i did a down and back in 1 hr 25 min. the second day i shaved 10 min off my time. the entire trail is single track. it starts out with 3 or so rock wall crossing. there is a short non techy climb next. after some winding trail you hit the first techy climb. not long at all but i have yet to clear it cleanly. next is a short techy downhill. more windy terrain and then a shorter techy climb followed by a tech downhill. after crossing under some power lines there is a nice long stretch or rolling twisty trail. those climbs i mentioned are even more fun when going downhill on the ride back. there are a few nicely built up log crossings built up with some rock. i have not discovered anything to huck off of but i wasn't really looking.

if we want to extend the ride we can take a fire road down to the river. fast, loose rock in a few sections, no need to peddle. once at the river we can do a 2 min sketchy hike a bike along the river to get to some fast flowy single track that hugs the river. nice spots to sit and chill by the river for a meeting or what not. depending on the size of our crew we could hit case de grassi for a beer or 3.

nice write up! surprised your memory is that good. :razz:

i'd be down for a beer afterwards, but you have to let me have a lax catch with you.
