Share the Trails My friends Josh and Julie came up from Running Springs to get out of the house and hit the trails in Big Bear. Josh is a tri-athlete and wanted to go for a mountain training run, while Julie wanted to try out the 1E01 single track on her mountain bike. 

I just love showing off the local trails, so we met at the trail head and up and away we went. It was fun watching the dynamics of runner/rider sharing the trail and at least on the way up sharing a similar pace. As we snaked our way along the rocky path I noticed the rhythmic pounding of Josh’s feet and the constant crunching sound of our knobby tires mixing in with huffing and puffing from us all.

It’s a good grunt of a climb that crests at the intersection of the 2N08 and when you pop out on to the dirt road you find yourself surrounded by a lush green forest garden.

As long as I’ve been hiking and riding here I still love taking my friends to trails that make them stop and smile, and that’s exactly what Josh and Julie did when they reached the intersection. After snapping a few pictures, we headed back down for some post-adventure lunch and small talk. They both agreed that it doesn’t matter if you run or ride, just as long as there is phenomenal terrain and scenic views. Let’s face it, its fun to share the trails.
