We first headed over to the new South Park Trails (<a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/travel\/local_places\/biking\/P5180602.jpg.html\">map photo<\/a>) which have been put in around the <a href=\"https:\/\/nuxx.net\/gallery\/v\/travel\/local_places\/stony_creek_skills_park_grand_opening\/\">Skills Park<\/a>. That photo up above was taken in one part of the South Park Trails where there happen to be some really beautiful <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Civilian_Conservation_Corps\">CCC<\/a>-ish red pine stands.<\/p>\n<p>This new section of trail was very recently cut and thus has a mixture of small stick-like stumps and larger stumps, but it&#8217;s becoming rather firm and is really fun to ride. Most of it is up and down, curving double-track like the easy tracks in the other mountain biking area, but there are definitely some challenging climbs and fun, flowing descents. I&#8217;m really looking forward to riding this again, and particularly once all the stumps have been removed.<\/p>\n<p>The rest of the ride was uneventful, but fun. We made a run through The Roller Coaster, and found that the newly cut parts of it are becoming particularly great. The trails are coming along very nicely, and are a whole bunch of fun to ride.<\/p>\n<p>(Unfortunately, because of the high speed burst mode of the camera the quality is a bit crap, but it&#8217;s still quite a nice area. I really should take my good camera out there. Maybe one day when there is a race&#8230;)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After work today I met up with Kristi, Marty, Nick, and (unexpectedly) Jon for a ride around Stony Creek.
