AF canyon. Anyone willing to give advice?

[ChestonScout]

So a handful of years ago RME had a dirt bike ride up AF canyon. It was my first real single track experience and I had just gotten back into riding


The ride was incredible. I had fun and got my trashed kicked.

I haven’t been back to AF canyon since.


I’d really like to do the same trails that we did back then. Anyone happen to remember what it was?

Or is anyone willing to point me towards a good days worth of trails?

I’ll go with you and show you what I know. @Tonkaman needs to dust off his bike as well.

Ha ha yeah I hope I still remember which end to hold onto!

@ChestonScout is there a certain trail you had in mind? There is about 100 miles of single track up there. We could show you anything from mild to wild

 

[Corban_White]

I can't show anyone around but I'd love to come!

 

[ChestonScout]

Maybe we need to plan another RME ride?


Was kind of hoping for a weekday trip to miss some of the crowds

 

[rholbrook]

I will be your trail guide or I will just come and ride. When are we going?

 

[jeeper]

I vote Sept 4th ,5th, or 6th...

 

[ChestonScout]

The 6th works best for me!

Was that the one that I think I led? If so, I bet I still have the GPS track for it. I can look today when I get home. I don't remember the trail numbers we went on, but I bet if I looked at a map I could figure it out pretty quickly.

 

[ChestonScout]

I honestly don’t remember if it was you but it probably was

Sounds good!

Maybe you should join us to!!

I think this was it: https://www.alltrails.com/explore/recording/may-26-1147-am

 

[Caleb]

If it is, here's the gpx file. The trail numbers are in the description of the above link.

My guess was up 40 to 157 but there a ton of loops up there that are fun.

 

[Caleb]

We always parked at the top of the alpine loop and jumped right on to 157. We did do one night run with several from here on RME where we started down at the reservoir and went up to 157 (I believe on 40).

Man, this thread has got me looking through all my old rides and it's making miss having a bike

 

[ChestonScout]

I was gonna ask if the 500 was still around.


Thanks for the info!

Does Friday the 6th work for you @rholbrook?

 

[Tonkaman]

I don’t think I’ll be able to make it work anytime soon. Such a bummer, because I love those trails!

 

[Gravy]

I'd go but it's my kids birthday. I'm good any other day

 

[Corban_White]

I'm off work on the 6th. ?(and every Friday).

Are you talking during the day or in the evening?

 

[ChestonScout]

Morning for sure

So is everybody invited? I'd love to try and make it!
