train tracks
a few guys around here were walking around in the woods and found some place where some Koresians stayed. i decidded to take the train tracks from my house to there. here's some pics and video.
there is a golf course/comunity built around the tracks. when golfing you actually have to cross the tracks to get to the other side of the course. ![]() can't really see it here but there is a gold cart going across the tracks. plus you can kinda get an idea what i was riding through. ![]() a bridge after i had already crossed it. ![]() east view off the bridge ![]() west view off the bridge ![]() from here i got to corkscrew rd. i turned left in the grass and went down a little trail. i saw what looked like an opening to go into the field but at the last second i had to lay on the brakes cause there was a down barb wire fence. i didn't want any flats so i figured this was the end. i was back on the tracks and then saw the tops of the house's. ![]() after taking that pic i saw some bumbs come walking out from under the bridge onto the track. i must have woke them up while i was taking the pics off the bridge. there was two of them and i was by myself so i figured it was smarter to head back to corkscrew. i hit corkscrew and went to 41 to broadway and went back to the tracks. on the way back home i had to hit my favorite water crossing. i think this is part of the 10 mile canal. ![]() i wanted a vid of me going through this so i set the phone up across the bridge and got some vid of myself going through the crossing. it's hard to tell by the video but there is a decent current. as you can see the water is almost as deep at the crossing as my front tire (21" rim).

yeah it's pretty nice. i was going to go to east bonita tonight but it's too cold to be on the bike tonight. going to be in the low 50's here. i think i'm going to head out to the street races tonight since i haven't been since i took the turbo off my car. hopefully people don't releize i don't have the turbo on any more and are still scared of it like the last time i took it off for a little while.

So how was the water crossing? You *did* ride across that creek, right?

Looks like a fun place to ride. Kinda reminds me of the Stephen King movie, "Stand by Me" Did you see any dead bodies? (Just kidding--I really need to take my meds!!!!!)

thanks for the nice comments eveyone.
Fristbite, it's actually a little cold here, well to me anyways. it's been in the 60's during the day. at night it's in the 40's. needless to say i only ride for a couple hours a day. i know that's not as cold as Canada, but to me it's cold. :oops: blipman a helmet cam would be awsome. a friend to ride with would be even better though. i don't go allot of places just cause i'm scared to get stuck in the middle of no where by myself. wich like a dumb ass i did today. i'll be posting those pics here in a little bit.

Riding with a buddy is great and ALOT safer. I will ride the street alone but offroad I wait for company. Fortunately I have a few buddies that love to ride. Looking forward to warmer weather. 4 deg outside now.

4 deg...ouch.
all my friends have 4 wheelers. wheelers are good down here cause there's allot of sugar sand but it's so populated you can ride much without having t load up to go to the next spot. the enduro part of the bike is the shit. i love being able to drive to the spot i want to ride at. still want a bigger motor though.
