John Allison and I went out for a Patrol Saturday July 8 and boy was it wet. But wet in a good way considering how dry it has been all season. It was nice to see puddles all over since we knew the terrain needed the water, but we kept off the Hobbit since we felt we'd do more damage than good on our patrol. We gave a few folks the 'ride through the middle of the puddles' talk to encourage them not to widen our sweet single track up there. But on the RTD bus up from town we ran into Adam Massey, the new host of the Boulder Show and ex-executive director of the Boulder Off-road Alliance (now the Boulder Mountainbike Alliance - our sponsoring organization) and city councilman Shaun McGrath. We rode with them for awhile and managed to help Adam repair his bicycle. John had his camera on hand, so I think we just got our first picture of the patrol actually helping out a trail user. Once Adam becomes a famous TV personality, we'll trade in on his good name to advertise the patrol or something. In the mean time, we'll have to earn our stripes the old fashioned way - one trail user at a time.

No such source exists. While there are a number of ways to ride from Ned to Boulder, you will have to link trails together with roads to make it happen. There are some 'secret' trails out there that can get you closer to town at times, but there are all kinds of tresspassing issues and land management conflicts. One perfectly legal ride that exists on all the maps is simply to ride West Mag, do the Blue Dot trail system and then hit Magnolia road back to town. That probably provides 15-20 miles of singletrack riding followed by a killer descent on Magnolia Road.
