    Default Eastside MTB ride, 8/16, Rowlett Creek Preserve

    Link to DORBA page for Rowlett Creek trail

    Anyone up for a weekday ride? Now that the heat is here, the trails have finally dried out nicely. I rode everything but 13, 5, and 6 tonight, and it was great. If you haven't been out here before this trail is mostly in the trees, so the heat isn't as bad. Rowlett Creek is an intermediate trail, with some tight stuff and a lot of roots, but very few hills to climb.

    I'll be at the trailhead around 5:45pm, on the trail by 6pm. I'll most likely still be in the black Suzuki XL-7 rental, with a green Specialized FSR.

    I'm looking to ride 9-12 miles, but the north loop crosses back over the parking lot at ~5 miles if you're not interested in a longer ride. Intermediate pace, maybe 10 mph average?

    Sounds tempting, but my bicycle is pretty much a street bike. My mom calls it on road/off road (it used to be hers), but I wouldn't want to take it anywhere rough.
