Upper FB Trail	Dec 15, 2024 @ 10:34am Dec 15, 2024
Upper Sacramento Ditch	Dec 15, 2024 @ 10:34am Dec 15, 2024
Fisherman's	Aug 15, 2024 @ 4:14pm Aug 15, 2024	Rode on 8/15/24 on MTB. Several spots overgrown with scratchy brush, with some P.O. and low-hanging branches, plus one downed tree across the trail. Trail bed is in good shape, and a little brushing would go a long way.
FB (Lower)	Aug 15, 2024 @ 4:09pm Aug 15, 2024	Wide open - no issues. Just dry and a little loose here and there.
Sacramento Rail Trail	Jun 20, 2022 @ 10:47am Jun 20, 2022	Great trail. Overgrown a little on the fringes of the trail.
