Rockville Hills Park ride, 3/11/06
A group of 10 from Northern California (from Santa Cruz to Roseville) gathered yesterday for a Moab warm-up ride, in 'Rockville Hills Park' (http://www.rockvillepark.org/) in Fairfield. Rockville Hills is a city-owned park with a wide variety of terrain, including some huge rock gardens (there's a whole trail called Rock Gardens), steep technical sections, open sandstone and granite, and simple singletrack. There are lots of oaks and some very pretty manzanita groves. The park isn't that big, but there's so much stuff to play on that we didn't get to it all, and we were all totally beat after four hours of riding. There's a day use fee of $2 per person, which is a bit of a bummer, but it's worth the drive and the fee. Outstanding riding, and worthy training for Moab. Photos and a short video are in 'my gallery' (http://tinyurl.com/rkl3y).

Yeah, you were supposed to give the machine next to the gate $2. Sweet. I'm in the video. I gotta find some rocky slopes near home to practice. -- phlegm ------------------------------------------------------------------------ phlegm's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/8382 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/47683 |

The day use fee must be new. $2 is cheap for a place like Rockville.

He made the move but busted a spoke in the process. -- tholub ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tholub's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/804 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/47683 |

$.50/hr for some great riding seems more than fair to me -- bmemike ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bmemike's Profile: http://www.unicyclist.com/profile/11148 View this thread: http://www.unicyclist.com/thread/47683 |
