Found some time to do some exploring...Sunbrige

I see Randy and Hoppe have been busy. Out with the old and in with the new. I really like the tree limb planks on the bottom half... Since I saw they did some work I decided to weed eat and do a little cutting on Corby South.. Got it looking good, maybe cut it a little wide... What do you think fellas?
If you believe that, I have a Marin Hardtail I am selling for the bargain price of $1,200....
I decided to cut out of Krug and head up to Sunbridge, I have not been there in 6 - 8 months. It is such a cool place to ride. If you have not been out there, its on Huntoon (however you spell it) Road back behind Krug. Huntoon is the road right by 229 near the casino. Sunbrige takes you though the river bluffs behind the casino/old sunset grill, etc...
This is a view from the top, the pic does not do it justice but the slope is crazy, and you have some awesome views of the Missouri River.
When you go though the entrance you come to an open field, take a right and keep going past the old graveyard (should have taken a pic of that) and follow it down to a point which will be on your left that you can drop in down to the middle/bottom level. Its here in the pic, but it does not do it any justice at all.. Its pretty steep, I was a bit timid the first couple of times...
There are so many cool areas out there.. Its the kind of place you take your time riding through. Had some more cable added to the middle section.. There is a hell of a drop off to the right.
This is "the" hill.. If you look closely you can see my bike on the right towards the top.. Once you get past that, you still have 20/30 yards left. Rusty is the only person I know who has climbed to the top.. No one has done it Single Speed.
One of the nice little climbs out... Its one of those gullys, I walk it cuz I have to...Such cool views out there, if you haven't been I suggest you do...

It is a little overgrown right now but completely ridable.. Its really got some character to it. The long downhill that spits you out down by the casino is rutted out pretty bad, so you can't go all out on it like you used to, but Its still worth the trip... Getting back to Krug on the other hand is another story..

Nice work Jason! I got on Google Earth the other day and was checking out Krug and Sunbridge. I was shocked to see how big Sunbridge is. Seriously, two to three times the size of Krug at least. It's hard to tell exactly because from sattelite it was hard to tell where the conservation area ended and private property started. There is a lot of opportunity out there if the conservation department is willing to work with you.

Anyway, as I stated befor I'm heading that way tomorrow morn. I plan on riding at Landal on Saturday. Is there anyway anybof you can get off work early on Friday so we could get some riding on before the sun goes down?
