Multiple neighborhood access points, bathrooms, benches, picnic areas, etc. But with equestrians letting their horses crap on it and the wealth of late afternoon would-be Strava champions, it can be dicey depending on when you ride it. I tried a bit of off-pavement advantage on this side road that my Garmin simply labeled as "unpaved road." I found out it was a bit rougher than that, LOL!

That’s my hometown trail. So many memories! The portion through Old Sac to the Guy West Bridge (Sac State) is my favorite. I don’t think there’s another car-free bike path like it in the country. Certainly the longest, to the best of my knowledge.

I thought this was a good one, took it on a mountain bike ride. I popped out of the woods onto the gravel road and I thought the fall colors were looking better than expected.

Blue Raspberry Slush Puppy skies yesterday on Skyline Drive, VA.

Today out in Fort Valley and then back up onto The Drive with Simon. Very happy to have found a reliable and fun riding buddy who lives just around the corner. This is Spring Mountain in Fort Valley, an insanely crazy amazingly beautiful piece of land. A weird horse-cult-shaman guy lives there, I'll share the story sometime.

Climbing up to Dickey Ridge, that magical part of the climb where the trees fall away on the right side and you have an awesome view that impresses the rider with just how high they've climbed in the last 15-20 minutes. Bikes are really amazing.

Panoramic view from Jenkins gap. Still can hardly believe I get to ride here every day.
