Rockville Park, Fairfield California

"The Lord lives, and blessed by my rock, and exalted be my God, the rock of my salvation,"

2 Samuel 22:47

On this day I was invited by a couple of friends from church to try out one of the most difficult trails in the bay area, Rockville Park just outside of Fairfield, California.  This is a relatively small park with tons of intertwining trails.  Supposedly you could do 30 miles here with out overlapping.  There are fire roads, technical sections that I mostly walked, rock gardens, stair step down hills, which I did not attempt, and there were intermediate trails that I finally got to do.  By clicking here you can learn more about this park.  There are daily and annual fees.

"My steps have held fast to your paths; my feet have not slipped."

Psalm 17:5

Actually, my feet really did slip a lot.  Mostly on purpose because of the highly technical trails just beyond this point.

Go Vic, Go!

This is why they call this Rockville.

This is not a pose, I'm thinking about the beginner trail.

"Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God."

Psalm 90:2

"But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

Matthew 6:30

Yes, I had no faith about dropping down off this ledge, but I thought the Lord did a wonderful job covering these rocks with a clothing of grass.

"He makes me lie down in green pastures.  He leads me beside still waters."

Psalm 23:2

With views like this, I am not sure I will be riding my road bike much anymore.  This was a great morning to be out mountain biking.  I pray that you are enjoying these pictures.  I know I am enjoying exploring these places.  I look forward to other adventures on my mountain bike.
