  • Rockville Park is back open and it's time to see if Sarah digs endless rocky jank (spoiler alert: she do).
    🚲 I ride a 2020 Ripmo, build yours here: bkripmo.com
    My home trails have a special place in my heart as I've been riding Rockville for more than 10 years. It was pretty amazing to see Sarah clean obstacles on her first try that took me YEARS to approach.
    Feels good to be getting back into the groove, stay safe out there!

    That place eats pedals and derailleurs! I remember getting into that rut (on the section you get nervous on) and seeing my life flash before my eyes. Macky was right behind me and was equally scared watching. Sarah has got skills!

      Nice of you giving Sarah cred Seth, she certainly deserves it after some awesome riding on that rough trail the first time like that! Remember that vid you're referring to pretty vividly. Kind of scared all of us I think! The GoPro effect must have been especially strong in this BKXC vid for some reason since it just didn't come across as the real deal it is..

    Prescribed fire would be the best way to reduce the fuel load in the park. You're right that cattle do a lot of damage like horses, to the trails. Goats and sheep do minimal damage but they do remove seedlings of trees like the oaks, and the next generation of trees is eliminated.

      PTSD sucks! Women have been dealing with that on their own for thousands of years.
      They are not fueled by fear. They don't hide their emotions.
