A Recumbent Trike Tour of the Hidden Trails of Folsom, CA: Willow Creek Trail 

Thanks very much for watching, George! We’re truly lucky that we have such beautiful trail systems so close to us. I’ll look for you out on the trail! :)

Thanks for watching and many happy miles on your bike, Joe!

Thanks very much, Mikldude, and thanks for watching!

Hey, Jim! Yeah, that music by Aaron Kenny is fantastic. He's actually composed for major motion pictures, and for some reason, he lets us lowly RU-vidrs use some of his stuff for free. Makes even a no budget video seem like a big budget feature! :)

Thanks for watching Paul! Yep, Aaron Kenny really paints a picture with music. He does movie sound tracks professionally, so we're lucky he has some of his music available for use on RU-vid.

Yeah. I liked the upbeat "Roundup" music. Peppy and appropriate.

Glad we could help! We'll look for you out there! :)

Thanks for watching, Bill! That's Aaron Kenny. His music is pretty amazing, but his slow stuff can put you to sleep! :)

Hey, Pops! I lived in the general area here (almost) all my life, and I only found out about this amazing trail system a few years ago. When I moved a while back, I was pushing hard to get a house right on the trail near where your niece lived, but for one reason or another it didn't happen. It would've been so amazing to live right on that trail and just roll out of the garage for a ride. Maybe in my next life! :) Oh, I know which bridge you're talking about! It's great riding it downhill!

That Rans T-Rex is an amazing bike, Louis! I still have my Rans Rocket- Always thought it would be cool to have one in Ti!

@@bikestrikesrazors My T rex is 10 years old and even though i had four different trikes(Dumont,Expedition Road and Greenspeed x5) i will never get rid of it. They no more exist so it is precious as a recumbent diamond. By the way I send you my warmest goodbyefrom minus 15 celcius here in Eastern Canada.

@@louis6657 Sounds like it's time to stay on the indoor trainer, Louis! Stay warm! :)

@@bikestrikesrazors And visionning your ride with desired ...🤣🙂

You won't be disappointed, Evan. Both The American River Trail and the Folsom trails are fantastic!

Thanks very much, Gary! I'm giving most of the credit on this one to the music composer, Aaron Kenny. His music is so good it makes RU-vid videos seem like major motion pictures! :) Thanks for watching and enjoy that Hase! They're beautiful trikes!

Hey, Douglas! Yeah, I had ridden with another triker on this trail and he said it was like "Disneyland for trikes". It kinda is! Just like those little cars on the loopy tracks, but you have to pedal. :) Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Sactownism!

Thanks for watching, Scott (or Amy)! :)

Hey, Gregory! Thanks for the tips! I'll try some of those alternative routes! Thanks again, and thanks for watching!

Thanks very much, Nestor!

Hey, Glenn! Yeah, I'm giving most of the credit on this one to the music (by Aaron Kenny). He's actually composed for major motion pictures, and he allows some of his stuff to be used by RU-vidrs. Makes everything seem big budget, even when it's no budget. :)

Thanks very much for the kind words, Char! The music is by Aaron Kenny. His music is fantastic for videos!

Thanks very much, Tom! I give most of the credit to the music (by Aaron Kenny). His music makes everything look like a major motion picture. :)

Thanks much, Mark! I'm giving most of the credit on this one to the great music by Aaron Kenny. His stuff makes a RU-vid video seem like a major motion picture. :)

Thanks, folks! Keep up the good work over there!

We were trying to get together before winter hit, but it never happened. Our problem is that with the nature of our business, we never know exactly when we'll be able to get away for a ride. Makes scheduling difficult, but not impossible!

Hi Kut! In this video we're riding ICE VTX's. :) I wish I could ride them at 1.5x speed. :)

@@bikestrikesrazors Very cool looking trikes. I have a Challenge (Dutch). Might motorize it some day.

@@KutWrite Most of the trikes I see these days are motorized. Have fun on your trike!

Thanks for watching, A&J! Yes, we went back down the Humbug Creek Trail the same way we came up, but there are a few different ways you can get back to our starting point. Half the fun is exploring up there (and getting lost) so make sure you have some extra time just to explore around!

@@bikestrikesrazors Thanks for your reply. I'd very much like to find out how to do the route you went. I rode up there this morning & found the place where you made the mistaken right turn & then looped back to the trail. I dead ended at E. Bidwell street. Then went back & got on Willow Creek trail again. I T'd at Humbug trail. Some people gave me some directions to go L instead of R. I'm not sure I ever came to Oak St. or "Oak Ave. Pkwy" I did make to my car parked in Old Folsom, but I never found the fire station or the duck pond area & up hill & then the long downhill. Google Maps is very confusing. I check All Trails & they only show a short Willow Creek Trail. Any further advice you have I'd welcome. You seem to have edited your video which I understand - otherwise it would be long. But the editing has left me confused as to some of the turns you made & view of intersections. The Willow Creek signs on the trail helped, but going along streets, etc. there are no signs as I'm sure you know. Sorry for my whining, but your video was a so enticing, I'm determined to try to find your route.

@@elkwisher No problem. :) The trail goes under the road at East Bidwell and continues to Oak Ave Parkway. Right before you get to East Bidwell, one way goes left to the street and the other way drops down under the bride and the trail continues there.

A&J, write to us at bikestrikesandrazors "at" yahoo "dot" com and I'll send you a map. :)

That was in January! Still pretty cold out. :)

Hey, SP! You'll have to take Highway 50 to the Folsom Blvd exit. Once you exit, turn left toward Old Town Folsom, and continue on Folsom Blvd until just after you pass the outlet stores on your right. Just when you pass Natoma Station Dr., you'll see the entrance for the Willow Creek Recreation area on your left, on the other side of Folsom Blvd. You may have to go all the way down to Blue Ravine Rd. (it's not far) to make a "U" turn so you can get on the correct side of Folsom Blvd to turn into the recreation area.

That's a good idea, Paul. We've got a few folks that would like to be shown that area. Maybe we can set something up for June. If we stop for lunch, everyone can just buy their own food so no donations would be needed. :)

@@bikestrikesrazors Sound s like it could be a plan, thats a beautiful trail but most of us older folks would get lost out there. I would sure like to ride I , is there a charge for parking or a pass required?🎶🎀🎶

@@paullyle3461 There's a parking fee if parking in the Willow Creek lot, but I'm thinking of having folks meet and park near Karen's bakery in Folsom. It's easier to find and no fee for parking.

Is that a county park if so this year I heard seniors could buy a years pass for only thirty dollars this year.. I think I've seen Karen's bakery from the fish hatchery ride to folsom. Im sure we can Google it..Thanks

@@paullyle3461 I haven't heard anything about a yearly pass, but we're pretty good at finding free parking near the trail. :) They used to have donation drops on the trail and we'd drop some money in the slot to help out with the park, but vandals got to them. Karen's is right next to the big bridge in Folsom and Mike's Bikes.

I usually stay off the trails on the weekends, successfully avoiding most walkers and runners and other cyclists for that matter. :)

Thanks for watching, Henry! Yep, you can contact us at bikestrikesandrazors "at" yahoo "dot" com.
