Ran across a colony of mud wasps in Bavington and almost stepped right in the middle of it. It's that really really steep section just as your turn off Haul road onto the trail. The one where you have to put your bike on your back and almost scale up. Climbing up it's on the left side.

Just giving a heads up, I know some folks who ride are allergic.]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2123&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72 Shred303

There's a trail that is routed around, and i believe intentionally to avoid, all the nature center areas. This is the trail we always ride. When you intersect, I believe it's the Rachel Carson trail, make a left. It takes you up along the field and around all the nature center trails.]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2122&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72 swhile

Hmm, I didn't know that. I was actually considering riding there today. But I usually stick to the topmost trail - what the heck is the name of it - Feisty Squirrel or something. Are there signs marking which trails are off limits? The only ride around I know is to ride down the bathtub trail and then ride the road a little by the basketball courts.]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2122&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72 xcrpro

As many of you likely already know, a large portion which was part
of the Nature Preserve area has been closed to MTB. Do we have
any recourse to having this reconsidered, or can anyone perhaps
suggest to me a ride-around that would get me over to the big
hill going up to the old fire tower? Thx]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2122&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72 mayhew

The month of mud races are great.
They used to pay really well. Will I go if there is ZERO payout. YES. Also, I believe they lose money every year. FYI

Mofiki, could you please post the schedule for the series that you are putting on so I can come and try and make some money, since I am sure that you will have super huge payouts and such? I appreciate all the work you are going to put into these races you are doing.]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2114&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72 swhile

I ride solo a lot at North Park. I'd be glad to show you the trails. I ride pretty much every other day scheduled for Wednesday evening and Friday evening this week. I usually start between 6 and 6:30. Someone also leads a Wednesday ride, I've been meaning to ride with them again soon. Send me a private message if you want and I'll give you my contact info.]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2110&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72 soylentgreen

I've been riding to my workplace since 1992. Since 2000, I have been averaging 200 days per year tallying around 4000 miles each year. The balance of time I usually ride the bus.

For the most part, I try to not be a factor in car flow. That does mean exercising a judicious use of my personal space and flow.

My fear with the city's new staff member is there will be a focus on enforcement over access.]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2113&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72 mofiki

i would like to get a few rides in roaring run on the lower loop this week and next, but since the bear scare i am not going there by myself like i used to. anyone interested in meeting there 8/19?

*pace-2ish but little/no stopping. of course, i don't give a crap if people go faster ahead of me, I just don't want to be out there totally alone

I can probably be there ~5:30 for a 6 start hopefully at the latest.

donpow: i have tried since last fall to get a message to whoever was going to be getting mom ready this year and wasn't sure who since ty and chris are done, but obviously my messages through 10 people didn't get to the man himself. I barely ever see bywaters because I don't do many road races, etc but do you talk to him? if you do, could you ask him if he's remotely interested in talking to the New Bethlehem Chamber of Commerce about using their annual MTB race as part of mom? They are very interested in it and were counting on me to arrange the contact between the two. it's probably too late for this year, but no loss in talking for next year already. i can get the name/number of contact to you in pm. this message also in your pm.

thanks, ruth.]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2114&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72 soylentgreen

Thanks Babe'z--
Grate ride last week, city style, getting the biz on...grate ride, music and compadres. I was looking forward to the pictures after the ride, viewed now..., and what fun from what I recall.

Franks and the Babe rides are SWEET, grate music and venues, one can't go wrong. Maybe I'll be up for the MOM at THE RUN for the first time.

What's with the treasure trail shot? Lovely, any takers besides SOYLENT?

Enjoy the weekend friends-]]> http://www.porcmtbclub.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=2118&sid=cd29534b1b2892986d5f98d851ccdf72
