Thanks for this and your many trike posts. These professionals are some of the best on YT.
Thanks very much for watching and thanks for the kind words!
Awesome video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the great video. I have been riding the trail on my bike for almost 30 years and still enjoy it every time.
We are pretty lucky to have such a nice trail to ride on!
long videos are great. I can sit back and watch while wishing my icetrike sprint x tour would show up
I feel your pain, Haha! Hopefully it’ll get there soon!
Thanks. I moved from a Granite Bay in 2005. Miss running and biking on the trail. Many new things have been added and you showed me things I had missed. Bought my trike about 3 years ago. At 86/I love it
Good to hear you're enjoying your trike, Richard! I love mine! Keep on rolling!
Just got through your Mount Diablo ride. Used to live in Pleasant Hill and drove it many times and camped at the top. Would have loved to been on that ride. Noe live in Utah so know what a cold ride is. Thanks again for more memories.
its crazy growing up here in sac since 95', swam at the rivers and shopped old sac but never once gone on the trails. great video! cant wait to take my ebike out there.
Lots of E-bikes out there these days so you’ll have lots of company! Have a great ride and thanks for watching!
Enjoyed. The commentary. Great diction, quiet music and wHat a tour! Thanks for sharing your part of the country with the Eastern part if the States.😊
Thanks very much for watching, Mihkhail!
As always, an amazing video, loved it.
Thanks very much, Keith, and thanks for watching!
Being from Sacramento, and currently living in west sac..great vid..been on these trails on both my Terra trike an Velo DF..way fun..
Hey, SP! We're both very lucky to live near such a fantastic trail!
great video, and very detailed documentary. I ride that trial as often I ca. very beautiful.
Thanks very much for watching, Tello!
Excellent video with excellent background music!
Thanks Gary! That was a lot of work but fun to shoot!
Thanks for sharing this video! This trail is like home to me, and I commuted often to and from downtown Sacramento using the trail. You even passed by my old house on your way to the McDonald’s on Arden Way. And yes, the best part of the Willow Creek Trail at the Jamba Juice and Dos Coyotes. I’m currently nursing a torn thumb ligament and can’t ride my upright bike for at least 6 weeks. Have been looking at recumbents because there’s light weight bearing on my hand. Your video was enlightening in terms of the POV on a recumbent and quite enjoyable for all the views and commentary. Thanks again!
Thanks very much for watching, Mary Anne, and I hope your finger heals up quickly! Don't know if it's worth investing in a recumbent for just a six week break, but if you can find a good deal on a used one, they are a heck of a lot of fun. :)
Thanks so much for the great videos...never knew we had so many bike trails in the Folsom area until I watched your videos. Although I ride electric bikes one day will have to buy an electric trike because of my age and back....take care now
Thanks very much for watching, Michael! Yep, lots of trails in the area! We're pretty lucky. :)
Thanks for the road trip and eduacation.
Thanks for watching, Stoutdog!
Looks very nice and good documentary. Lots of information. It's like I'm travelling as I'm from Belgium.
Thanks for watching, Benoit! I've got some friends that live in Leuven!
@@bikestrikesrazors Great! I live near Ghent.
Thanks for the excellent content you guys should do bike tours.
Thanks very much for watching, Glenn! So far just “virtual” tours, but who knows. :)
re: 1:17 - There used to be a Chinese bakery next to that Costco that had excellent bow. Back in the 90's.
I miss Sacramento. I'd probably would still be living there if it wasn't for my allergies.
Yep, this is the worst place for allergies! Thanks for watching!
tthats a great video thanks alot
Thanks Charles and thanks for watching!
I think I might be the guy with blue bike and black riding shorts that you flashed by on the Guy West Bridge in Part III. When coming back from the campus, after you've cycled up the curved ramp, just before you get back on the bridge, you can turn right onto a section of paved trail that will take you back on the other side of the river. It will take you to Watt Ave., where you can cross back over to the official trail. But just as you leave the campus, just as you pass under Howe Ave., you can turn right and take a short detour on La Riviera Dr. to Gordito Burrito. There's also a Ny Gyros and Philly's sandwich shop, a Mt Mikes Pizza and a Tea Bay. There's also a McDonalds and a Taco Bell, but I can't imagine you'd want to go there with all the other great options available. 😁 You can get back on the trail at the Howe Ave. River Access and it's paved all the way to Watt Ave.
Thanks for the information, Andrew, and thanks for appearing in the video! :) I’ve never taken that detour, so I’ll have to give it a try soon!
Your video was so good & the running commentary with just the right amount of information. Hope to make it down from Vancouver Island when all this stupid stuff is over, :)
Hey, Daytriker! I’m hopeful that Covid will eventually play itself out, because I’d like to do some traveling also! Thanks for watching!
I buy a parking pass and check the box for them to use the fee for maintenance. I live right next to the trail so parking in the park is unnecessary. Since the passage of Prop 13 park funding gas been difficult, sure would be nice if folks supported the parks.
Good idea! They used to have small boxes that allowed you to make contributions to the trail but they took them down. I suppose they were likely being broken into. I had no idea the parking lot money went toward the trail!
Great videos and deserve a big thumb up. I really like the side trips rather than just the point to point like some other videos.
Would you have the trail maps (e.g. Strava) you can share so I can up load tl my bike GPS?
Hi Kilroy and thanks for watching! Here's a Strava segment that shows most of the trail except the last western end which goes down to Old Town Sacramento. There's lots of construction and detours in that area now.

Appreciate it.
Good point DONT ride your trike In parking areas most car drivers reverse when leaving they can't see you ! 😉 Be loud proud and be seen you will live longer .A good horn is great idea too. Reflectors high viz lots of lights .Mirrors. Flags.
Good ideas all, BatM! Thanks for watching!
So you updated your video you need to try the 100 miles trail in Florida and or a lot of trails in Ohio
I’d love to try those trails, Donald! Maybe someday!
"drought" you mean gavin newsome wanted to borrow the water for his vineyard and endless pools
Question for you Boss , I see your wearing Pearl Izumi shorts , did you remove the Chamis .
I have a bunch of old shorts and tights but I don't ride anything with a saddle. So far I did remove the padding on one pair of tights but my chamois is one of the thick gel types and looks funky and isn't comfortable when riding the trike .
Bought some compression shorts but the legs ride up and don't look or feel good . Just curious about your experience
Hey, Jason! I just left the inserts in all my shorts, mainly because I haven’t had any problems with them while riding trikes/recumbents, but they’re all pretty minimal inserts. I can see how a large gel type chamois might cause problems. There are some companies around, like Boure, that sell shorts and bibs and give you the option of different chamois so I’m sure they’d sell a pair with no chamois. My brother just reminded me that he picked up some “workout” shorts which were basically like bike shorts with no insert and I’d bet you could find those for much less than standard bike shorts. If you find something like that that works well, let me know!
Nice totally different from uk rides
Thanks for watching, Alison! I hope one day I can take some of those UK rides! :)
I really enjoyed your video but haven't yet watched the entire video. I've learned a lot about making videos and the extreme importance of narration. What I would really like to see, however, is your setup for taking these videos. What equipment does your buddy rider have to get the shots? Fairly new to Catrike riding a helmet camera is steady but just doesn't get the views I want and it's really hard to keep my face focusing straight ahead. Mounting on the front boom arm was to shaking to stabilize. I think securing a selfies stick on the rear frame would be too shaky and wobbly. So I'm interested in your setup.
Hey, D! I think there are two tricks here- stabilization and hand holding the camera. You can achieve stabilization through the use of a mechanical stabilizer (3-axis electronic gimbal) or through in camera, digital stabilization. We use both methods. We either use a large Canon DSLR camera mounted to a large and heavy Moza Air Cross 2 gimbal, which is admittedly a bit overboard, or a small, light, Ozmo Action camera (first generation) on a small handle using the camera's internal stabilization. Both look a little different (all video cameras look a little different) but both work just as well. You can even get a 3-axis mechanical gimbal for your phone camera. Whatever type of camera you're currently using, just do a google search for 3-axis electronic gimbal for "_______". If you want to go the internal stabilization route, Ozmo cameras have it, and most GoPro's starting at the GoPro 8 have it (7 is a bit questionable). Before buying any GoPro model for stabilization, check to see if that exact model has it (GoPro 8 Black, etc.). It's hard to get good video mounting a camera to the trike/bike or helmet. Luckily, a recumbent trike is a virtual "pedal powered dolly", so you can easily steer and brake with one hand and hold the camera with the other. You'll get much more interesting video hand-pointing the camera at different things as you ride by, changing the camera height and angle, than you will with a static mounted shot. Hope that helps, and good luck! Oh, also, when you post your videos to UA-cam, makes sure you always have the words "Recumbent Trike" in the title. You'll get lots more views! Joe
@@bikestrikesrazors Thanks a bunch, really appreciated. Motorized gimbal is beyond my reach or need.
Actually helmet is pretty stable for me, but don't know exactly where it faces. I use a small Canon G9X. It gives me 60 fps and some internal stabilization when I need it. What I look for also is a way to work my drone videos with riding. Thanks for the tip on adding "recumbent trike" to my video tags. Dave
For a beginner and comfort which one is better a catrike dumont or ice adventure
That's a very good question, Ariel, because those two trikes are very similar in a lot of respects! They both feature full suspension and the ability to fold, and very comfortable seats. The ICE is around a thousand buck more expensive from what I can see, so if you're in the mood to save some money, I don't think you'd be missing anything by going with the Catrike. The ICE trikes tend to be a bit more "blingy" and the new seats on the ICE trikes are likely a bit more comfortable than the Catrikes, but is that worth the extra money? And who can say what would actually be more comfortable for your body? The absolute best thing to do would to be to find dealers in your area where you could try out both of the trikes and see if either "speaks" to you. Do you have any dealers in your area?
@@bikestrikesrazors thanks
I tried them both and chose the Ice trike Adventure. The extra comfort and the seat height made it the right one for me.
unless it is the optics, the guy with the cam likes to ride a bit too close.
but if not for the bums infecting parts of the river trail, this would be a world class riding trail.
Thanks for watching, Larry! I've been on most of the trails in California and I've yet to find one that didn't have a homeless community camping near or on it. I wonder if the same problem exists in other states and how bad it may be there?
I took offense to your comment that they “went crazy” protecting the dam. You are probably the same kind of people who complain if they don’t do anything and if something was to happen, you’d be right up there suing!
Hey, Jeep! I knew that comment would eventually upset someone! I didn't mean to imply that they overreacted, but just wanted to emphasize the extremes to which they went in blocking off damn access. Thanks for watching!
that trail will be full of graffiti, trash, homeless tents and drug paraphernalia in a few more years' time.
We already have our fair share of homeless on the trail. So far, there hasn't been a graffiti problem.
