Riders Breakout to Join FT3


While some may be unaware, we have a special kinship with some brother MTBers from down the hill. Those riders, known as "The Folsom Breakouts" ride on Tuesdays in the flat lands, weaving together what trails they can for a worthy night time MTB effort. Over the years, there has been talk of joining forces in one way or another, maybe we visit them when Pollywood is under snow, or they come join us for a romp in our neck of the woods.

Well the day has come, and this evening, at least one, and possibly two breakouts will join the ranks of FT3.


So join me in welcoming these breakouts as they break from their own ranks to join ours. Fear not, these riders are no strangers to Pollywood, the Strava boards boast some familiar names. It is actually quite surprising the similarities between the two separate but equal groups, take a gander at their photo log of a recent adventure on the XP trail:

Indeed, they make waves in the LRP realm, with one of the more vocal breakout leaders recently encouraging participation in the Centennial Ride from Sacramento to Lake Tahoe, that ride which was featured in the Adventure Sports Journal:

What shall we call them?

ONE!

  1. 3. A long time ago, in a far away land (ok, when I lived in Curtis Park and worked in EDH) I used to ride occasionally with the Breakouts. Big Rick C., Spencer (RIP), Jesse P., and many more. They dominated that trail network on Tuesdays.

    When is your Auburn contingent coming to visit, Cap?
