Lost my pump today at Sals along with a couple layers of skin :sick: on the boulder trail. The pump could be on the blue, red or yellow. Lost skin I'm used to but it would be nice :thumbsup: to get the pump.

Thanks

hello everyone,

Im new to the area and have just returned home from college. Im hoping to get in some good riding this summer since I read about the valley in bicycling magazine a while back. Anyway, I am currently figuring out a job situation, but after that Im going to make it to as many XC rides as I can so I can get a feel for the area.

See you around,

Pat Mucka

Year number two for me, competing in MTB racing. I do it for the fun and for the push/drive to keep riding. Plus I think it's a good indicator to gage my riding strength and skills. This was the first race for me this year, and I wasn't too thrill about the wet weather before the race. The start times were pushed back an hour to let the track dry out. Well it was still wet, but very rideable. 1-2 miles in I'm mid pack and feeling strong, then my chain goes pop and I look behind me to see it laying on the trail. Crap!

Does anyone know about the trails in northamption by the cvs i cat seem to fin them?

just wondering if anyone has ridden anything out there. going in october with the wife. so i'll have a day to myself while she exfoliates. local bike shops, maps, hints ,etc. would be appreciated. thanks in advance.NBB

Anyone up for a ride at Jordan on Thursday (5-8-2008)? I'll be
there at 6PM, my brother has a baseball game in the area. Should be able to ride until 7:30-8:00PM. I'll be starting at the main lot.

The first part of this is great

I think it is really cool that Jonk has a DH bike, and there is a really good chance that his new Karpiel was my old Karpiel. Perhaps, as he got it from someone over at SVB, who might have purchased it from Stubby from the old Bear Creek DH racing days, who he bought it from me. I bought it from Mike Hartlove, who raced it all across the US doing the NORBA Nationals on it in 1999. We did a lot of travelling that summer together. I raced it a lot when I bought it, and I even won the last round of the Plattekill Pro Slalom series (and the championship) on that thing.

I ran into Mark Bowman yesterday at Sals. He said the farmers market starts this Sunday in Emmaus. If you've never been there, its a cool hang. Its right in the middle of town and most of the produce is local and organic , or it is grown without pesticides but doesn't have the organic label .

Anyhow I'll probably check it out and maybe do a ride over there at South Mountain.
