Fullerton trails closed by rain By BARBARA GIASONE The Orange County Register FULLERTON — City maintenance crews have asked the public to stop using the city trail system until the rainy season subsides. Serious erosion, especially to the downhill trail portions, has been reported at four areas: • Panorama Trail: The steep uphill from Bastanchury Road to the view portion overlooking Coyote Hills Golf Course. • Nora Kuttner Trail: Adjacent to Armstead Lane and near Parks Road. • Brea Dam: Several problem areas including the portion north of the tunnel at Bastanchury Road, the steep downhill behind the Fullerton Tennis Center and directly behind the Fullerton Sports Complex. • Hiltscher Park Trail: The natural wash was overwhelmed by water and caused severe erosion along the secondary trail and the steep downhill across Euclid Street, up to Fern Drive. City Landscape Superintendent Dan Sereno encourages residents who notice problem areas to call (714) 738-6897.
I rode there on Tuesday morning and conditions, overall, weren't that bad. The only exception was for the part of the trail that goes right next to the golf course; that part was fuct up by equestrians [-X And people want to put the blame on MTBers?!?!? ](*,)
WOW HBFRDH... I'm sure that bigass M3 of yours helps. Love the guy who beats his d%$# lick it owes him money.
Ben, you know I'm riddin' the AC1. But hey, three of the same post??? At least I'm not the one at the computer wearing a plastic fantastic helmet; you know, a "tard guard".....duuuuhhhhhh :lol:
Fullerton Loop Submerged Dang check this out. The trails behind the Brea Dam at the Fullerton Loop is completely submerged! Picture courtesy of the OC Register. RL
Looks like I won't be riding through there on my way to work anytime soon. What a crappy holiday weekend: it hasn't stopped raining, my knee's busted, my girlfriend gave me her cold, and I lost my $ playing poker. I've been laying in bed all day watching crappy movies on cable and praying that the Northridge Trail in Chino Hills hasn't slid out of existence. I read the other thread and realized my weekend could've been a lot worse and I have nothing to complain about. Glad you guys made it out alive. I can probably help out with the search.
Rode most of the Loop today, and it's in surprisingly good shape. Knowing the golf course/dam area was a nightmare, I just continued straight over the RR bridge. Lost a mile or so, but the bike and trail were better for it. As for the part I rode... ...the bit just before Hiltscher is still a bit soggy, and there are a couple small puddles spread along the route--besides that, no mud. More sand than usual, but that's to be expected. Also a few new ruts, but all avoidable.
I know if a few people who can do it, but then again, they ACTUALLY ride! You should try it sometime Ben! :wave: So am I included in this ride, or are you gonna make me fend for myself?
