Sadly, the land was once the property of Spokane County, but was traded to a logging company for lands unknown (by me, anyway) and the area is now being turned into housing developments.<br /><br />The ride was accessed on the west end from Grove Road, and that has now been completely fenced off with No Trespassing signs all over the place.<br /><br />Hoping this is a different ride and is still open to the public. But the railroad tracks view looks exactly like the view on the Dips ride.Fritznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-70778625713130577882009-04-12T21:57:00.000-07:002009-04-12T21:57:00.000-07:00Great looking ride!Great looking ride!Kevin Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02266439584628752801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-19395963604287768552009-04-12T09:41:00.000-07:002009-04-12T09:41:00.000-07:00It just dawned on me that you might be part of FBC...It just dawned on me that you might be part of FBC Spokane.

But in bright sun it does ok.<BR/><BR/>Wade: this bike overlaps with my Rawland and my 747. And a bit with both of my rb-ts. The 747 is a much nice bike to ride. It just feels like no other bike I've ever ridden or owned, but this converted RB-1 is just so much fun to ride anywhere... much like I feel about the Rawland. The Rawland has much lower gearing for climbing and with the fat-tires it can fit, it is better suited for deep snow and actual off-roading.John Spearehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07187638368645707099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501437224497800843.post-55527554104788452162009-04-11T06:07:00.000-07:002009-04-11T06:07:00.000-07:00I love the photos!

Doesn't this bike overlap with the Rawland? On a side note, I met Glen the frame builder last night. WadeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
