Default Riverside Box Springs Park - CANCELLED

CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER!

Come join me on my LAST STR Ride for a while. As some of you know, my wife and I are expecting our second child in early April so what better way to say "Goodbye Bikes" than to ride on of my favorite trails in Riverside. The Box Springs Park Preserve is located just above the UCR campus and has a good mix of grinder climbs and really fast and technical singletrack with a few rock gardens thrown in for good measure.

Area: Riverside Box Springs Park Preserve
Start Time: 9 AM
Total Milage - 24 miles
Total Climbing - 3800-4000 ft

Here's the proposed route:

Start at Hunter Park, climb to the top of Box Springs Preserve, down Ridge Trail, back up to the antennas and down "M" Trail. After a quick break it's across the Hidden Springs Singletrack to Two Trees and back to the cars. These aren't a noob friendly type climbs. Think of it as a Blackstar type climb, but without crazy Art Tuttle.

The last time I rode this route, total saddle time was around 3 1/2 hours, but with a group, I'd think around 4 hours. We can hit up the Riverside Brewery afterwards for a few post ride refreshments and food.
