It's been around two years since the last entry. Obviously no one is reading this, as there are no comments. In the interim, I've taken up mountain biking and had a car totaled (not my fault).
I go riding in Walnut Creek Park, a five minute drive from my house. I don't ride on the city streets, too much car traffic. Also, no shade.
I hiked this park for a few weeks and then decided to get a bike. I'm 68 and needed to do something for a higher level of exercise to recover from surgery, and this seemed to fit the bill. I find I like it a lot and will continue now that I'm recovered.
This park is interesting. It has 12 miles of trails, and the majority of the bike trails (the twisty parts with lots of shade) were constructed by a local mountain bike club, if I have my facts right. The city wanted some trails, and the biking community stepped up and designed and built the trails themselves, under the nominal supervision of the park staff. Two or three times a year, the club members get together and spend a day or so doing maintenance... drainage, trash removal, etc.
A fun place to ride.
