I was very eager to go biking around Folsom. Jenn and Steve’s neighborhood is an ideal location for me. It is a very quiet residential place with REI within walking distance and the Folsom Premium Outlets a few miles away AND they’ve got bike trails all over! The downside is the trails are the paved asphalted ones not the rough terrain I’m used to back in Manila. The upside? Zero probability of any vehicular accident as trails are exclusive for bikers or joggers. There are also specific bike lanes on roads everywhere so there’s no chance of a jeepney sidesweeping you. Di ko sila namimiss at all!
You can check out all the available Folsom bike trails here. Which I did the night before I biked and was able to do 3 trails while the rest was road biking. Shempre naunahan na ako ng mga real roadies by then!
I was also excited to wear my Proud Pinay Mountainbiker jersey! I was lucky enough to order one from PMTB. So I debuted it around Folsom, wala lang!
This is me before hitting the trails. It was cold at first but I warmed up after 10 minutes or so. I borrowed the bike of Steve’s friend, still a bit big for me but I was able to manage.
Hello Karen. Enjoy your vacation there in the US. Jerome and I are running the 21K Globe Run this Sunday by the way. I am not sure if I have fully recovered from my Milo 42k 2weeks ago and Jerome has not done much running, but maybe the pasyal and chill pace we did in Condura Half before can work again. Hope to run with you soon.
Nice place to bike. go go go pinay
Thats cool!!! Keep it up….
bads –
our krr urbanite run race kits aren’t available yet. tomorrow they said, just a few hours before the race…but you can never CAN tell. weird too, that the singlet’s predominantly black…didn’t they say it was a NIGHT run? (the lights are on, but no one’s home…hay!)
i think we should stay away from FINISH LINE (organizer) races. palpak din dun sa globe run ung reg./race kit dist. if they haven’t learned their lesson(s), ako natuto na. finished na ko w/ finish line!
on US Viking:
i like, a lot!
fink…lagi na lang fink!
op kors, mahirap na at baka matawag na DUDE!
i searched for the trails around the area because of this post. ang ganda nga! you brought your gears here or you rented?
i brought my own gears and borrowed a bike from Jenn’s hubby
