This isn't going to mean much to you guys, but it's HUGE to me. My regular ride has a lot of good stuff; tough climbs, steep switchbacks, mostly good scenery, and it's close enough to my house to ride to the trailhead. But MTB'ers share the trails with walkers and their kids and their unpredictable dogs. The need to repeatedly slow from 25-30 mph to 5-10 mph on steep downhills to pass walkers without scaring them is why I have Magura MT7s with 220 rotors front and rear.

Well, the city of Pleasanton (California) did something amazing. They converted an illegal-ish trail created by local MTB'ers into a designed and maintained (I hope!) downhill only, MTB only, run. It opened a few days ago and my first ride was today. They even included intermediate and expert options in a couple of places. There are drops, jumps, rollers, and berms.

My only gripe is that there is a lot of loose dirt on the berms and the steepest downhill section, but maybe that will get packed down by bike tires.

This is a very happy day! A true downhill run in a park that is a 15 minute ride from my front door! :cool:
