i've been thinking of a fat tired road bike ride lately. the idea would be to do a loop of the city and do as much on dirt/trails as possible.
here's the thinking:
- start at Scoop. drop down the HD trails to the cul de sac on hatch road.
- cross hatch: take the moose trails down to hangman valley; hop on 195, go south to WHite road
-- Take the White Road traisl up to Cedar road at eagle ridge. Drop down cedar to Cheney-Spokane.
-- Hang a sharp left onto CS road: before you get to thorpe, hop the rail road tracks across from teh cemetary and get on the trail on the other side of marshal creek --
-- connect to the fish lake trail up the old deprecated access road. take FLT to finch arboretum
-- connect to palisades trails up behind the golf course -- pop out at the top of Greenwood road -- ride the rimrock dirt road over to houston and down to the cent trail.
-- go north on the trail down then up -- like 1/2 mile -- then take the trails over to bowl/pitcher.
-- loop back on aubrey white. at the shit plant, climb the trails up to NW blvd. ...
I'm kind of stuck here. there are a few dirt roads and patches and pieces, but I'm wondering if there's some good urban dirt from the NW blvd area back into downtown? then maybe find a way over to dishman to come back up the southhill via sands/tower mnt/or something similarly dirty-traily.
