It was here; on a pretty decent downhill stretch with a left hander that Wingfixer washed out his bike and went down for the 2’nd time that ...

Re: Blue Ridge Trail

Day 2: Sunday- Our lost but then found friend Gene had to leave for home in the morning so then there were 5. Over breakfast, the discussion of motorcycles and all things related lead to a 2 hour breakfast marathon at the restaurant at the Thompson motel and then we finally got on the road around 10...

Re: Blue Ridge Trail

Day 1: (continued) We eventually got on Fort Valley Rd which parallels Peter’s Run and Taskers Gap which are options on the BRT. However, since these trails are “technically” pay-to-ride areas, I choose to by-pass them having been on them before and knowing the amount of other dirt that was ahead of...

Re: Blue Ridge Trail

I am not normally a ride report kinda guy so if what follows is sucky, you have been warned. However, this trip was so much fun I feel compelled to re-live a little of it by writing about the stuff that I think others may find mildly enternaining. Unfortunately I did not take a lot of pics as we wer...

Re: Any Mountain Bicyclers here? I'm picking one up this we

My knees still hurt from 7 mnts ride so I'm going to stay off the berg for a bit and jump on a mountain bike and try to shed some pounds and build up my knee strength. So I thought I would check in and see who else rides and where they ride at. I live pretty close to Fair Hill, so I have 100 miles ...

Re: Any Mountain Bicyclers here? I'm picking one up this we

I try to get out every weekend. I used to go down Loch Raven but since they closed down all the single track, what's the point. I've been checking out some new trails but I have been doing the river trail along the Gun Powder lately. No hills but rocks and sand so it's about the same workout. My ri...

Re: DAMN reunion 2012

I was looking around in the GPS last night and there are some nice little twisty roads and even some dirt roads in the area. Therefore after hitting the trails Friday afternoon, I am planning on heading out for a little early evening ride to explore the area. I will throw a route together tonight, ...
