We regularly enjoy the paved Sacramento River Trail in Redding, CA. Interest points along the path include the Turtle Bay Museum, the architecturally unique Sundial Bridge and beautiful Caldwell Park as well as the river itself.

We also ride the Bear Creek Trail in Oregon from Ashland, home of the Shakseperean (sp?) Festival, to Medford and on north to Central Point.

Great idea! Unfortunately I don’t know how feasible it would be to set up in WordPress… When I get around to porting the Routes plugin to Drupal (that’s the plugin that does the maps, routes, and elevation profiles), and move the site there, I’ll come back to that idea, because it would be trivially easy to build in Drupal.

Ever thought about a section where people could form organized rides? You know, for those of us who aren’t joiners and don’t want to be part of some bicycle political organization but wouldn’t mind have an area on this website to form some group rides or something — could be cool. I have no idea how useful it’d be.

The comments are an RSS feed. You’d need to add them to your RSS reader. Most email programs have them now…

Jen, I’m not a big fan of RSS feeds but suppose I can make a mental switch. But when I attempt to subscribe to the Comments link under ‘Subscribe’ it simply display an XML page. Would you mind providing the exact procedure for subscribing to particular trail to receive emails when it has been updated? Thanks in advance.

Todd: You can subscribe to the site’s RSS feed and get notified when a new trail is added. You can also subscribe to the “Comments” feed and get notified when comments are added. Both are in the Subscribe section on the right sidebar.

Sorry but I’m sick today so probably posting to much on your site. But I think it would be a really nice feature if you could fire emails to contributors when a particular trail gets updated. Sort of like subscribing to a trail. I’d love to get alerted when a trail page has been updated.

-Just a thought and probably a lot of work.

I work in the tech industry too and I personally don’t know how you do it… but am glad you do. I think this is a great resource and I thank you for putting it together.

Ah, that’s longer than the last time I rode it, when it was only a few miles long. I think you are right that it merits inclusion, and I’ll add it to my (very long) list of trails to add when I make time to add more trails. Thanks!

You are correct. I just Google mapped it and it came out to be 9.6 miles from Bothell to McCollom Pioneer Park in South Everett. I guess I was thinking it’d be a good one to list because it is (soon to be) a vital link that connects the Eastside (of Seattle) with the north and beyond.
