Mountain Bike Monday - Gravel grinding at the Battlefield

Battlefield ride 6.1.14

Yesterday we decided to mix it up a bit at the Battlefield. We did a little road riding and a little trail riding.

The Battlefield is a great place to take our gravel grinder bikes and go all over the park! The multi-use trails are hard packed and perfect for a speedy off-road ride. There are the occasional patches of soft sand and horses to navigate, but for the most part it's a pretty fast roll!

This time of the year the Battlefield is so green a lush! It was pretty quiet out there! We enjoyed the peacefulness of the park!

We mixed it up to keep it interesting. We did a little road first and then we did a big outer loop on the off-road trails. The trails are so packed that you can really get some serious speed!

Even though it wasn't too hot I still turned bright red! Just call me the tomato!

We did about 22 miles and really enjoyed the day! It was gorgeous!

And, we discovered a cool new children's education area they recently built!

We're really fortunate to have this park so close to us! If you're in the area take the family out and ride!
