After almost 2 years of being closed, the Brown Mtn. to El Prieto Loop is now open (officially) and ready to ride. I'm not positive, but I think I may actually like the trail more now than before it burned in the Station Fire. What was formerly a fire road climb up the Brown Mountain trail, is now all single track and double track, which is way better. Also, the El Prieto descent is still fast, still flowy, and really really fun, so major props to the team that put in major work getting E.P. back up and running. I rode with Lefty, Blowtar, and the UA crew, and we all had a blast. We even got to help in the rescue of a woman who had fallen over the side of the trail (which was super gnarly). Oh yeah, here's a Google Earth view of the newly rebuilt trail. Video's of the rescue will be posted later this afternoon.
