North County Bike Park

North County Bike Park

The name sounds nice, it looks good written. Unfortunately it doesn’t exist though. So many communities and cities have done a great job providing sports facilities, skate parks and recreational trails for people to enjoy. For most of these places bikes aren’t allowed or terrain isn’t suitable for modern mountain biking.

Solution

Buy a few shovels and a wheel barrel and get digging. Then you have a community solution to a community problem.

Looking foreward

I am optimistic about the idea that more communities will embrace the population that’s passionate about being on two wheels. Del Mar with the Pacific Highlands Ranch Pump Track and Bonita with the Sweet Water Bike Park are among the first to offer bike specific city parks. From what I have heard Carlsbad and San Marcos might be next in line.

Little rippers

What has always been fun for me: riding with friends, exploring new places, making trails. Has now become, enjoying all of that with my friends and their kids. Seeing the next generation of little mountain bike rippers develop their own passion for the sport is pretty cool.
