@smilechris123 MTB Tank-Jamie Tatenco is a good one tp follow for that kind of thing. Or Expeditionary Veterans Association.

@PaulJMartinez i liked the good workout the climb provided, honestly. I'd choose the views second. 😍

@bryanandbonniemcbride3010 wow, thank u for the kind words! Yeah, the steep stuff is extremely nerve wracking and only fun afterwards when u look back and realize what u survived! LOL! But Crafton Hills in Yucaipa (it's listed on Trailforks) is awesome fun for everyone, mostly greens and blues, definitely worth checking out. Loch Leven is also a great trail. A long, but amazingly scenic low grade slog uphill, but u get to enjoy a nice long downhill on the way back down!

@randybinc.6443 thank u. So the closest u can get to M Trail is by parking here: Parking on Trailforks www.trailforks.com/goto/poi/147578 there is a parking lot at the base of the trail if ur shuttling. If not, it will be a long tough grind back up to the parking lot...which u may or may not feel like doing.

www.strava.com/activities/6503810537 Hopefully you can view that.

I have a tendency to make a wrong turn or 2 every single time I'm out there, so I do apologize for any wrong turns.

@@PaulJMartinez thank you!

@@michaelclark714 on Greenwald all the way down, just before the North Gate entrance to Canyon Lake

@@BIGGRIC_MTB23 thanks! Flow trails are my absolute favorite

@VonHanzee they're Magpeds, it's like an in between. All the benefits without the risks. I will always become detached in a crash and i can pull any direction to free myself. I only do full clip less on my gravel bike. I'm not trying to die. Lol

@@BIGGRIC_MTB23 thank you. That scenery just leaves you breathless. 😍

@ I’ve been through the area several times this year from San Diego to brawley and then back to riverside , it is breathtaking

@@deadvegdweller thank you!

@@MikeBrown-eq6tz like KFC biscuits dry....🤣

@@mtb.chris.9093 Sycamore Canyon in Riverside. This particular trail is called Whiplash

@OnyxTortoise it definitely needs a little brush clearing mainly. What would be awesome is to leave the main trail as pure flow (when it's free of brush) and add features to the side if people want to hit them. This could be a really fun, just fast dh ending to all the stuff up at Laguna.

@Lowridersdoggs it's the Regional Park dh at Crafton Hills

@danishindian2107 wish I could answer that, but I haven't been back to know. I know someone who rode it earlier this year and it was in good shape then, but this one sees little traffic, so I just don't know.

@@faithmata3768 Thanks

@@robertdelreal7204 you are correct! The path we pedaled up from the bottom by the train tracks is actually a part of the old route 66 too! Very cool!

@@MarioXcore1 that spot is definitely spicy! 🤣

@markaguirre9035 unfortunately I do not know.

@d-latz_mtb no idea. I just see them referred to as merely North County and I err on the side of non disclosure if I'm unsure... that way I don't step on any toes or piss off any builders. 🤷‍♀️

@@faithmata3768 that makes sense. From what I can tell that is double peak if I’m not mistaken. I’ve do work on those trails. All good to share them. 🤙🏼 The last trail you ran was the “Fuhrers Sac or Hitlers e-sac” one of my favorite DH trails in the area.

@@d-latz_mtb the names had us rolling! 🤣🤣🙌

@@faithmata3768 hahaha, yeah whoever named those trails had a sense of humor! 😂

@@BFBMTb right?!! 🤣

@@MikeBrown-eq6tz oohhhh, that's what those are??? 🤔🤣

@@faithmata3768 careful, they don’t move much when ya’ hit ‘em !! 😝

@MikeBrown-eq6tz 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I avoid them like the plague. I've seen what they've done to a lot of riders I know!

@@faithmata3768 true! Snakes are a MUCH better option….. hahahahah

@@MikeBrown-eq6tz yes they are! 🤣

It's a very short little trail, so probably not worth the drive unless u maybe head up to Wrightwood and check out those trails too. It's listed on the Trailforks app by the same name, which also gives u directions right to it. I'm not really able to pull up directions otherwise. There's an exit with a gas station and tow yard right behind it. You go past those and up a dirt road with a flat spot up top where you park. You will dump out at the railroad tracks at the bottom. To your left down there will be an old, unused portion of the old Route 66, a dirt road that you can pedal back up to the top.

Yeah, I like that the trail name made for a good title like that! 🤣

This area gets a good amount on the weekends. This was quite a group.

On the weekends it can be. Not on all the trails, though. I've seen certain ones stay pretty empty, maybe because they know riders will be coming down at high speeds.

I'm surprised to hear it's in rideable condition! I wouldn't expect that that particular trail sees much action or that it wouldn't be completely overgrown like everything is right now. 🙄🙄 ugh....soooo much trail work to do on my own trails.

I do some gravel biking myself, and while I have not taken it on these trails, I can definitely say yes, u could.

@@faithmata3768 Thanks Faith I appreciate the response! Safe spinning!

Thanks man!! 🙌

When are you guys going back there? Could I ride with you guys? Never been on that trail.

@steelrsrvd1 I don't know at the moment. Our plans are kinda up in the air at the moment due to stuff we all got going on.

Awesome! U are a better person than I if u can climb all that! That's beast level right there!! 🙌

@@faithmata3768 No beast, but determined sometimes. I was impressed by you, not that many women seem to ride alot or have that much interest in the mountain bikes. Kudos... to you!

I can imagine. It's really a shame. I just love the history of the place and despite a horrific, life changing allergic reaction from poison oak I took home from there that day, I'm so glad we got to trace the original route just like people did back in the day. Very, very cool.

We saw some spots that had much more evidence of the fire still than other areas, but nature is definitely on the mend there.

The person clearing the trail is probably a buddy of mine, he's been working on it and he's one of the few people I know riding it. I kinda wonder what's beyond where we turned around, but I've talked to forest rangers about mountain biking down from a side route in from the top and I was warned there were probably unpassable hillside collapses on the trail, so we abandoned that idea of coming down from the top.

@@faithmata3768 My buddy at lives near there told me he used to 4x4 over to Lytle creek back in the day. Im going back there next week but turning left at 1N35 instead of 1N34 East trail.

@wheeleking9049 if u are headed for the west fork of west Cucamonga Truck Trail, I should warn u its pretty impassable. My husband and I came down it from Barrett Stoddard in the summer and it was really bad. We basically bushwhacked from 1/2 of Barrett Stoddard all the rest of the way through. I'd avoid it unless you know someone has done some serious clearing of it. Just trying to save u from some misery.

@@faithmata3768 I guess, I just want to see for myself. If it's pretty bad, I'll just turn around. Thank you for the heads-up.

I'd like to hit this again and hit some of those jumps. I prefer not to hit jumps doing a trail blindly, but I got a good look at them and most of them are within my skill level. It's a cool trail, I just had a lot of anxiety about what was around every bend 😂

@@faithmata3768 yeah! we actually just rebuilt a lot of them.

🤣🤣🤣 thanks
