    Arrrgh, wish I'd seen this sooner! Anybody else doing the Loop later this afternoon/evening? I've never ridden the Loop, but I did El Moro on Wednesday and I don't feel like doing it again today. Is it safe(ish) to do the Loop alone?

    Totally safe. Just find a map of it online and look at where the trail goes after street crossings and such.

    Because it's awesome backwards. It gives a new perspective to old dirt.

    I've heard that there are concerns of cougar attacks, especially on Fridays. And the later you go, the hungrier they get. Apparently, I must be wearing repellent, as they seem to ignore me.

    As a result, I believe this sign was posted along the loop somewhere.

    I have to agree, I went backwards last Wednesday morning and it was a nice change.
