Ride today! Yup! First off, it was a little cool, so we stuck around to get a fairly inexpensive breakfast at the KoA, then we headed out to ride the trails at Hulls Gulch Reserve. We rode those last year, and were looking forward to doing it again. BUT – nowhere to park! Man! these trails are busy on the weekend! Ok, plan B. Head out to Eagle Sports Park. It’s a BMX track that has a bunch of trails on the hills behind it – we stopped here last year, but with the trailer, and only to look at the park itself, to take some ideas back to Dallas. Parking? Huge lot, room for 60 or more cars, and only two other vehicles there when we arrived! Cool!

It’s the desert, so it looks like this:

Here’s a closeup:

Yup, no shade. Nice hills, though, so we got a bit of a workout. No maps anywhere, unfortunately, so it was a guessing game, and with no one else really out there, no one to ask. Well, we’ve done this before, and I’m quite sure we’ll do it again at some point, it’s all part of the adventure! At least it’s almost impossible to get lost here – if you’re on the hills, you can see the parking lot from almost everywhere, and if you’re on the back side of the hills … well, you need to go to the other side of the hills, and see where you are in relation to the parking lot, so you can get back!

Nice ride, then back home – we have a growler of Leroy Brown Ale, so it was that and chicken sandwiches – no brewhouses today!

Tomorrow? We’re going to try for Hulls Gulch again, but maybe earlier – or later!
