Cool. If you need more info on the SJW BSF rides, email Allen, aljaxn AT aol com. Al coordinates these rides. (I'm just the fellow from down the road, close to Wharton, that helps out. 🙂 )

also just curious, belleplain doesn't seem to get used much in the summer any particular reasons? i mean other than bugs humidity or squishy trails if theres too much rain

Other than the bugs?! 😀
I rode the BSF mtb trail for the first time since last winter and it was fun.
A lot of leaves on the trail, but I'm guessing that the trail crew will be blowing the trails clear during November.

no doubt about the fun, makes my trips to CM that much better

Frozen and fine. Minimal (if at all) ice/snow. Enjoy.

 

[teabagger11]

rode Belleplain yesterday and again, excellent shape, just the usual wet spots on East creek trail, which are easily avoided

Fun ride today. Thanks again to the Wheelmen. As an afterthought i wish i had gotten that log ride on video, especially since the next 4 attempts at a repeat didn't work out.
