Swasey Rec Area is such a great area to ride MTB in Redding CA for sure. An assortment of trails of all different riding levels but one trail stand out above all of them, “Wintu Flow Trail”.
Thanks to Redding Trail Alliance for building a 1 mile long slope style trail.
It’s been awhile since I’ve been on my Big Hit. Usually I am on the hardtail. Trying to get used to the suspension action has a little learning curve. We’ll revisit this trail with vast improvements, just wait. I am a firm believer of progressing in the sport whatever it is.
Family fun night
I spent a few hours with Hailey Tuttle and my grand daughter Scarlette Dore the other night and it was fun to say the least. We were jamming to Hailey’s favorite band or at least one of her favs. I like them too, I won’t deny.
Can you guess the band that we are listening to????

“10 Bridges” plus high speeds equals FUN MTB Redding CA
10 Bridges MTB Redding CA, is a lot of fun. It’s challenging both ways, up and down, but there might be a few pedestrians along the way.
The trail is made of broken down granite or something. Off camber turns and a lot of them plus “10 Bridges” to cross, thus “10 bridges” is the name.
This trail is part of my normal loop I do from my house. If you are around and are up for a MTB ride in Redding CA, get a hold of me. You have my permission to call/text me @ 530-277-0723. I love to ride with other MTB riders especially if you might be from out of town and not of this area.

Hilltop Dr. Tower Drop In, Bunny Hoping Over a Transient MTB Redding CA
This video is me dropping in from Hilltop Dr. I like to stay off road as much as possible. Who else takes this option?
At the bottom, getting back to the pavement, there is a asphalt curb that I like to ride and see how far I can go. This is sort of a gauge of where I am at mentally and balance on the MTB.
Today was eventful to say the least. Every ride I always try to bring the GOPro because you don’t know whats going to happen This day I had it turned off. UGH!#@
Anyways, I’m doing my normal thing, cross the street and hop to the curb, at this point I am going pretty fast. Ride behind some landscape, bushes, leaves and there it was. I saw 2 legs in a pair of blue jeans laying down. A transient obviously sleeping. I had to bunny hop over him and he never moved.
I couldn’t believe what I just saw.
Hope you enjoyed another video.
“Bottle Cap” 2 Log Rides and some STEEP drops MTB Redding CA
This video is special, at least to me it is. I love doing video of just about anything. I love to ride my mountain bike so I do a lot of video with the Go PRO. So I am starting to love this Redding CA trail “Bottle Cap” for MTB and the like.
“Bottle Cap” is full of fun stuff for MTB, some of the best in Redding CA.2 log rides, fast single track, switchbacks, a couple doubles, bridges and some steep drops where you have to leave the ground and your heart pumping when you roll out in victory.
I recently got back into MTB. In the past, prior to 2007, I use to go riding so much. I love this shit. Great exercise, the scenery and it’s right in my backyard. Lately , I have been doing “BottleCap” which I found on Trailforks. Looking for a more challenging trail, since I have done pretty much all that I know of. Since my lay off from MTB riding some non-profit has been pretty busy making some AWESOME MTB trails. Trailforks site has all of the local trails in Redding CA, from beginner to expert(blue to black diamond trails). I wanted to do a black diamond, a new one to me and that brought me to “Bottle Cap”.
There is still things that need to be done like some doubles and drop that is making my heart pounding when I look at it.
Stay tune to my Youtube channel.
In the process of building that YouTube channel so please subscribe to my channel so you will know when I post a NEW video.

Redding,CA MTB “Bottle Cap” trail is a must. Check it out yo.
So today I went for a MTB ride #019 “Bottle Cap” Redding Ca to be exact. That is the name of the file I save it in anyway. Yeah I went for a ride and I almost didn’t but the weather was irresistible. Cloudy at first but it cleared up and warmed up too. The total ride was only 24.5 miles and I feel pretty good but need sufficient rest for sure. Got to work at 9 PM and I’ll see how I feel when I get there. Might be a “5 Hour Energy ” night. We’ll see.
Whenever I go MTB riding I like to bring along my GoPro camera and get some shots. You never know what will happen next and it’s frickin awesome to see what you’ve done on a MTB ride. Things like bear, snakes, bobcat, animals I’ve never seen before and had to ask the ranger.
Anyways, here is a video of my ride today “Bottle Cap”. Hope you enjoy watching it. Please like it on FB and share it with your friends.
Trip To The Bay Area Enjoying The Cool Ocean Breeze
Went to the bay area a couple of weeks ago and visited my wife’s good friend in Walnut Creek. While we were down there we had some good times, went to “Taco Bell” beach if you are familiar with beaches in the bay area. I blew it though and didn’t get any footage of all the surfers getting it on. I really enjoyed the relaxation just chilling on the beach. I never get to do that.
So I put together a video, fast forward video to be exact. I think you’ll enjoy it. Watch my NEW VIDEO below.
That wasn’t the whole trip and I have more video so I will be making another. We took a tour through Berkeley and Telegraph area. Merriell had a Henna done on her forearm, you’ll see. Henna is a cool option for people who are not too sure about getting a real tattoo.
Also, Celia Argabright is a pretty darn good photographer. You can see her photography on her site by clicking this link.
Here is a few pics of me and my wonderful daughter, Hailey Tuttle being goofy with some awesome pizza from the Telegraph area.
Merriell here, had such a great visit with my best friend Celia.We need to do it more often. Going to Berkeley was very nostalgic for me as I showed my daughter around. At the end of high school my friends and I would run over here to get Blondie’s Pizza. I was very sad that it had changed names only 1 year ago, but luckily the tile out front still said Blondie’s! And getting a Henna tattoo was fun! It lasted about 9 days for me. It was a practice run. Had a great night out with food friends and family! Thank you hubby for driving us and having a short but fun mini vacation
4th Of July With My Family 2017
I love holidays. Holidays brings us all together, family and friends. It really pisses me OFF when I have to work at my stupid J.O.B. when a holiday rolls around. But thank goodness that I was able to enjoy this holiday because IT would of REALLY piss me off if I missed this moment.
Little Scarlette is so amazed at the 4th of July fireworks show.
Redding Convention Center is always a great place to enjoy the community fun. Lots of people, wise to ride a bicycle and beat the traffic.
