A new trail day!
Biked up a fairly easy trail to Monument Rock, the landmark of this area. There are several ways to get there (easy to moderate levels). There are no signs on the trails so it is challenging to navigate through the area. I recommend using GPS apps such as Garmin, Trailforks, or MTB Project.
Flow Dog and Flying Dog were fun single tracks that had some flowy and chunky ascents and descents. 715 trail was my favorite out of all of them. This trail consisted a flowy descent to the parking lot.
Trail Timestamp:
0:36 Mad Hatter
1:16 Monument Pond Loop
1:32 Monument Rock
2:17 Flow Dog
2:56 Flying Dog
4:24 715
6:50 Arlene's Beans
I'll place my Trailforks route I created below:

yes parking lots are the most dangerous parts of a ride. This guy makes the best trail ride vids. Everything is not a blur. That get boring. Scenery shots are great.

I’m from Southern Cali but was just at Colorado Springs last week. Didn’t see Monument Rock but I checked out Garden of the Gods and climbed Manitou Incline with the wifey. Unfortunately I didn’t go to ride but this vid confirms my belief that there are some nice trails out there! I’ll have to take a riding trip out there! Great video editing too 🤘🏼

I was stationed on the central coast (Vandenberg AFB) 5 years ago. Miss Cali! I'm also from the Bay Area. Colorado Springs are known for their mtb/hiking trails. When you come back, you need to check out North Cheyenne Canon area and also the Pikes Peak Plummet. You start almost to the top of Pikes Peak and you descend down back to Colorado Springs. Let me know if you have any questions or would like to ride with us. Thanks for watching!

Im planning to ride more when the weather gets warmer and stops snowing/raining. Thanks...I’m really feeling the clipless and can see why folks recommend it. What made you move back? I’m riding on cranks brothers mallets. Almost a hybrid between flats and Clipless. Good to hear from you bro.

@DavePFilms

It’s the same drone I had before. I haven’t had a chance to take it on a trail where there’s enough clearance to fly. Additionally I try to fly where there aren’t a lot of people around. I’ve been biking since May-June timeframe. Not long at all but I’ve put a lot of miles for the past year. You planning to bike too? Yea I’m not very good at food reviews...I’m just good at eating 🤣.

Flow dog is worst name possible for that trail. It’s almost like it was named that because they wanted to be funny, because that trail is the opposite of flowy. It’s so difficult to maintain any speed when you encounter the chunky sections on the small uphills or in the middle of tight corners. I’m not a pro, but not a total scrub either. I consider myself to be a better than average rider, but I just really don’t get along with that trail.
@DavePFilms
@DavePFilms 3 года назад
Exactly... I wanted to call it chunky dog. I had to session the chunk a couple of times. It’s helping me build my climbing skills. I had to hike a bike a few parts unfortunately. Still have lots of learning to do. Not as fun as the 715 so far. Planning to check out Mule. Thanks for watching.

@@DavePFilms I totally dig this video. Very chill and does a good job of representing the riding we have in the Monument Preserve. As the person who built the original Flow Dog trail, it was named that for joining Flow/DLS and Flying Dog. None of those trails are particularly flowy. Ha! Trailforks has the most accurate names for trails in the area. Strava and mtbproject have them all whacked out... www.trailforks.com/trails/flow-dog/
@bl4509

Called it Flow Dog since it connects to the top of Flying Dog. Flying Dog was named in honor of one of the trail builders brother who passed away. There is a ton of stuff up there to explore!
