FDLT FTW!!!

Hahaha - I know it's your favorite.

We could do Olmstead again but there is a race coming up one of these weekends (don't know which). Quarry works too, although I wouldn't mind hitting up Sly Park.

I'd be down for Olmstead or Sly. I've got some time off next week so I'll be riding again on Tuesday (most likely) so I can always do Olmstead then, though of course I wouldn't mind doing it twice

Since it doesn't look like the weather is going to cooperate with us this weekend I think I'm gonna take my bike in for service. I'm getting some shoes for my clipless pedals and I'm going to have my fork rebuilt (no service on it for 3+ years ).

Hey,

I'm sort of new to the area; grew up at the base of Mt. Diablo in the east bay and rode a lot.

Unfortunately in Elk Grove, things are way flat. Where are some nice xc trails in Sacramento County? I might even have to move if I can't find any good riding soon..

You can venture up US-50 or up I-80 into the foothills to find some good riding. Here are a couple of websites to start you off:

http://www.mtbsingletrack.com/index.html

http://www.trails.com/activity.asp?AreaID=11674

http://mtb.live555.com/mtb-norcal.html#sacramento

http://www.unicycling.com/brett/

Some of my personal favorites are Foresthill Divide Loop Trail, Olmstead Loop, Clementine, and Sly Park.
