Sullivan Singletrack R.I.P.

Headed out for an afternoon ride last Wednesday and was bummed (but not surprised) to see that the top portion of the Sullivan singletrack had been plowed. As of Friday, the fun downhill section after the big oak tree was gone.

Not sure what the status of the trail is now but it's fair to assume that everything down to the Camp Josepho gate is doomed. After Westridge went under the 'dozer blade last month, I guess this was bound to happen.

Here's a re-post of a helmet-cam video shot on the single-track last year...



Here are a few still photos taken of various sections of the trail over the years. It really is a shame -- Sullivan Ridge was truly a fun piece of singletrack. Not technical but very fast. As Miles would usually say after finishing, " Muy peligroso!"
