You might be surprised at how many people use the trail. Even if people rarely use the trail it sure sounds like a nice place to ride.

For me, the health benefits and simply the joy that comes from biking far outweigh the risks. I am in south Texas alone. My husband just left for his own adventure and I won't see him until the end of March. We do this every winter. Like Muirenn, I rediscovered fearlessness. It is a better way to live.
