Marin mountain biking - Rush Creek in Novato, Ca

[@Skidboot71]

I was one of the equipment operators on the Parks Trail crew that built those trails a few years ago. It’s nice to see how they have grown back in and how the trail has held up since we finished building it.

You guys did a good job. The few times I’ve ridden out there i enjoyed myself. Cheers

[@jeffmcculloch9113]

Enjoy your vids. Just watched the Del Val one. I’ll take a trip over there soon. I use to loop Rush Creek area in along with Mt Burdell when I lived in Novato. I recognized a few of the trails you were on dropping off the Ridge fire road, you know, the fast fun ones off limits to bikes😮). You might want to throw a subtle disclaimer in for these to let folks know to ride at their own risk or they could be cited as the MCOSD has stepped up their game and monitoring those trails(and over on Burdell)more. First hand rider experience speaking here.

Thanks! 👍

Hell yea!!! Been missing the videos. Been watching the old 1s on repeat waiting on a new video to drop. Love the videos

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks!! I’m gonna try to get more out on a regular basis, stay tuned. 👊

Gonna have to drive out from Sacramento and check this ride out. Thanks for the upload!

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks David! 👊

I go to this trial quite a bit. Not only is it great for beginners but its also fairly smooth for gravel bikes, XC bikes and hard tails. You don't get too many of the rocky spinal re-alignment that other marin trails have post rainy season.

[@JakeSpeakman]

Definitely! Rush Creek is underrated and it’s never that crowded. Always a good time

[@michaelolson4905]

Thanks for the heads-up!

[@JakeSpeakman]

No problem 👍

[@fabiozambrotti]

Good job and nice video .....

[@JakeSpeakman]

Thanks Fabio! 😎

Looks like a great place for a quick ride and it looks pretty doable on just about any bike. That trailhead is only a couple of miles from my brother's house. I'll have to check it out next time I'm in Cali.

[@JakeSpeakman]

It’s very doable, I brought my girlfriend there who is a novice rider and she had a blast. Hope you can check it out someday

[@streetbeast7078]

There’s an off camber turn that’s washed off to the right that always gets me it’s towards the end of the bottom main trial and where you have the most speed I always wipe out because I forget about it but Helen Putnam and rush creek are my places to go when I testing out new parts or bikes specially in the summer afternoons when there’s not that many people

[@JakeSpeakman]

Yeah man, Rush Creek was super fun. I was pleasantly surprised. Rush Creek/ Putnam are mellow but have some surprisingly fast/ flowy sections.

[@SimonHamelin]

Yasss Rush Creek is great, I usually recommend it to beginners instead of China Camp, trails are perfect for learning, and yet I rarely see any bikers when I go

[@JakeSpeakman]

Totally agree! I’ve been bringing my girlfriend who is new to mountain biking there almost every weekend.
