Ya win some - ya lose some :-(

I decided to check out Rockland Preserve today but it was a disaster!

Rockland Preserve

It was a 45 minute drive and when I arrived, I was the only car in the lot - that made me a little apprehensive from the start. Not having ever been here before, I of course checked my Trailforks map at every intersection but somehow I ended up on this abandoned trail with deadfall logs blocking the trail every 10 feet or so. The initial blue trail climb was kinda tough in spots - lots of rocks and a continual climb but I cautiously managed it! But after getting way off the beaten track I decided to bail and headed back out, somehow hitting a loose rock and bashing my knee on the easy trail out!

I thought - crap - I can't call it a day... lemme go over to Tyler Mill and redeem myself.


'Tyler Mill

The Tyler Mill Ride was great--a mix of easier (green) and some challenging (blue). Somewhere in my travels I bloodied my leg but the ride was definitely worth it. I have totally changed my thoughts on this park - I love it now and will try to return more frequently.
