Hello Everyone! Hopefully you guys/gals are doing well.
I'm living now in SF Bay Area, (East Bay, close to Oakland CA). I'm working currently, but my job is ok, and pay sucks. Though I'm living with my family, it's saving me some money, which all goes towards my student loans. I'm going to be selling my DH bike soon because I cannot afford to maintain two bikes.

I know there is a lot of issues with trails being closed in SD, but just know that what you guys have is much better than what I have. Pretty much I have two trails that are within 30 minutes from where I live, while in SD there are at least a dozen trails.

I'm starting to finally understand what people mean when they say that they are only running 22 PSI or 25 PSI on MTBR. Where I live rocks don't really exist on the one main trail that I ride. I can run low 20's PSI up front and 25 PSI in the rear wheel and my tires will not burb.

I have been traveling a little and riding up in Auburn, Downiville, N*, but I'm sort of over riding park. Riding wide open trails isn't as fun as riding narrow natural trails. I'm glad that I didn't buy a season pass to N*, because that place got boring after one day.

Here is my video from N* from two weeks ago. Below are a few pics from the riding around here and my bike.

Good to hear from you Abdullah, and thanks for the perspective on the trail access issue.
I liked the video of N*. Hero-dirt!

I've been curious about east bay for a while (like Kensington), and Wildcat Canyon looks like it might have rideable trails. Have you looked around there?
