I had some things to attend to in Temecula this morning and since I was already halfway to Hemet, I decided to check Simpson Park off of my to-do list.\u00a0\u00a0 What I had heard was the that place had a small but nice network of singletrack as well as some features that would require your “A”game.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I have to say that this place more than lives up to that reputation.\u00a0\u00a0 There were more trails there than I\u00a0expected and the quality of the singletracks were outstanding.\u00a0\u00a0They were often a mix of buffed\u00a0tread with frequent undulations and rock features.\u00a0\u00a0 With great\u00a0views of the snow-capped San Jacincto and San Bernardino Mountains coupled with green grass and\u00a0Lake Perris in the distance this was a great place to spend and\u00a0afternoon exploring.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Simpson\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are at least several trails that leave the Simpson Park area and go to the east and west along the ridgeline that park is situated on.\u00a0\u00a0 I did some exploring to the west of the park and found some really nice stuff.<\/p>\n

I turned around once I had made\u00a0my way out to the Ramona Cross about the Ramona Bowl in Hemet.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for some techno-fun stuff make sure to check out the Lake View trail.\u00a0 There are many rock-rolling line options of varying degrees of difficulty with the easiest being “tricky”.<\/p>\n

I have bumped this trail to the top of my trail reviews in progress stuff to do.\u00a0\u00a0 Hemet can be blistering hot during the summer and I have a good feeling that these super nice trails will get sandy during the dry months so now is a really good time to check this place out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Until I get my stuff together here are a couple of rambling\u00a0 bits of information:<\/p>\n
