Recently, I converted my old Trek 8000 into a single speed commuter bike with 36/16 gearing. Not exactly manly, but works good for my relatively flat commute from south Redding to downtown up Eastside Road, especially while pulling my daughter in the burly trailer to school. Well, a couple of weeks ago a friend and myself were catching our breath at the Mule Mountain Picnic Area when some guy comes riding UP the Mule Mountain Trail on a single speed mountain bike. We shared a few words and he acknowledge he "had to work it in a couple of spots" coming up the trail. Yeah, work it huh? Can you say understatement? Good lord.
If you haven't had the chance to check out the new trail system off of Swasey, the BLM did a great job, trails are well marked and good for horses, hikers, and bikers. Yet another amenity that makes Redding such a great place to live.
And so it is.
