General Discussion

We've finished up our new orange trail loop and with it the trail season comes to a close.Now is the time of year when we can sit back and think about what's been accomplished so far, and what would be the next logical way to proceed when the weather warms up a bit in March-April.

I'm proposing that we have another trail building meeting that focuses on Salisbury, but could included other stuff if there is enough interest.There is a lot to talk about-from extending current trails in a few spots to making some of the tight turns a little more flow friendly to a strategy for eventually opening up the Western end of Sals.

Hitting Sals at the last minute.Slower pace-just goofing around to get in some miles so they don't kill me later this week. Starting at dodson at 4:30. If you are riding then or later you can try my cell 2 hook up. Dave 610-428-1103

Here's the deal. I've spent the better part of the last 3 nights trying (operative word is trying) to get my shifting silky. I have new cables and housings to put on and I have a new rear XT to put on, BUT, I didn't want to do any of this until the winter was over. I was hoping to just stretch the old LX to say mid March. Unfortunately I fear I have no choice except to do replacement unless any of you can give me some good advice.

The testing the waters thread was getting a bit long so I locked it and opened this one. Please post ongoing web site questions and comments here.

As you may know French Creek(FC) is a destination for avid mountain bikers. As you may not know that many of the trails are off limits to bikes and last years race was truly a disaster in the sense of not putting a good face on the sport. There has been a group called PATH that over the years has done a lot of trailwork there and the MASS promoters getting the race course ready before raceday. However the park manager has had some concerns about the race and having consistent trail maintenance which could even further threaten the access to the trails. In response the local clubs and new race promoters(bean's bike shop) has taken a pro-active stance and met with the local land manager and proposed a short and long term plan. In the short term they will improve and move the race course to a more sustainable area and deal with rain in a more enviornmentally conscience way before race day. In the long term they will rebuild many of the current trails to have more of a countoured trail system. they will submit to add a trail that would connect the western and eastern loop to extend the trail system. they will also ask that the current trail system be open to mountain bikes once again to prove our lower than perceived impact on the trail system. There has been trail inventory done so far to mark trails to be closed and new trails to be opened as well but will be a long term project.

We had a brief outage this morning, I have to say I'm really pleased with this hosting company's service. They were on it immediately and they keep you posted on progress. If anyone is interested here's their updates...

alright i know it's corney, but what the hell!!!!!! whether your just trail riding or racing 24hrs straight. Try that log, climb that hill, bang those corners, watch someone else hit something they never hit before.
