General Discussion

Please post up what you know about downed trees in Bethlehem trail networks and Sals in particular.
A mid-week cleanup might be in the cards.

Even better if you can remember relatively precise locations!

Hey everyone!

Im new to the club. Im a downhill/freeride mountain biker but i ride on road for fun too. I am sort of a beginner to downhill so im still learning but i am a bike tech. I live in Harrisburg area for college as of now but I go to bear creek, blue mountain, white clay creek and Diablo freeride park. I am looking to try racing too. So if everyone wouldnt mind posting and introducing themselves so i can get to kno everyone that'd be great.

Check out the replay if you missed it. By far the best World Cup ever with some crazy wrecks and unbelievable riding :jawdrop:

Relived rides of the past with Damian Merkel today. R Butz and K Kies participating. Up the road to Flagstaff, in to Psycho Betty, then the Blackwater Trail. Down Bob's option. I thought this riding area was gone, but the housing was never built, just the lots. A little difficult navigating, but Merkel remembers it all, after relocating to Wisconsin for 6 yrs. Rode up to the top of the Wagon road, up some more to the rocky trails above and then back down. Thanks to Rich for lending Damian one of his bikes.

I was Google searching fruitlessly for Nikolas Vovillos and stumbled on this craziness:

Watch it full screen!

Big tree down on the lower red right after the Berms. It's a big surprise if you're going fast!

Does anyone know how to delete a post? Seems like it should be easy- but i cant figure it out...

For the super Eco friendly out there!

Received this note from the Lehigh Valley Running Scene. Be aware that there may be a higher volume of runners on the trails.

A good time to mention that, since its founding, VMB has always stressed/taught good trail etiquette. And while we certainly can't be responsible for everyone who happens to own a bike, we know that VMB members continue to exhibit good manners and courtesy to fellow cyclists and other legal trail users.

Remember, to non-cyclists you represent the entire cycling community — one bad interaction makes us all look bad and negatively impacts good relationships.
