On one chute that looked like a bobsled run, I did another mod to my front fender. The mirror looks similar.

Please let me know if you have a technique for remediating trail rash on plastic. 🤕

Nothing a little Armorall can't fix.

I know those spots well, though the 2nd one is green in my photos. 😥

Glad you and @Rubenmora1 were able to get out there and get at it. 👍
Oh wow yeah I'm surprised it opened so soon after that fire. That 4th photo looks like what we designated Pinstripe Alley. You think after The Chute that hard part is done but it only gets crazier from that point.

Probably too light for you hard core folks but have you ever tried Rowhers Flats?
Closest place i have found to me.

I've done Rowher a few times. If I had the choice I'd go to Cleghorn. With Rowher once you pick a trail you are sort of stuck on it. I like with Cleghorn you can go with people with all skill/comfort levels and skip the parts you don't want to do.

I do like Del Sur Ridge though which is across the way from Rowher. Takes about 3 hours with some stops, pretty chill and always empty.


Edit: Also in that same area is Drinkwater 4x4. It's a fun trail with a bit of a sketchy climb from San Francisquito Road.

Some of the chutes on this trail had some pretty good pucker factor.

I remember that chute in the last two pics. Especially the zig zag part. I ran the whole thing like a swerving v-notch and was able to avoid any scrapes. Definitely a toe curler.

@roaniecowpony MAN! What a day yesterday. I don’t think I’ve wheeled with someone with balls of steel LOL. one for the books definitely.
You guys told me you did this all the time. I just didn't want to be called a pussy. I thought I had misplaced those steel ones, since I hadn't seen them since the 80s when I blew up the engine in my airplane and the county airport worker that opened the gate so I could tow my plane in off the street, said something about some spherical steel things.
