Lost my pump at Lehigh during last Wednesday's ride. Black Bontrager bike pump, somewhere from the parking lot to the bottom of the fun DH trail with the berms/jumps. If you happen to find it please email me: jay@ewrbikes.com

I know it's last minute. Heading tomorrow for a couple days with the family. According to the website, they have" 30 miles of mountain biking and singletrack trails". They rent Trek bikes.
Anyone been up there or know anything about these trails?
thanks

Spotted these two in my yard back in June. I've known they were in the area since I first heard them about 10 years ago, but this was the first photo op.
Shots are from my living room using a zoom.
Spotted the first one having lunch out in the field, then it's mate showed up to hang out. A couple of deer wandered past and seemed oblivious. I don't let my cat outside anymore.....

I am forwarding this from Wildlands Conservancy. Not sure if anyone from VMB plans to represent or attend? It will be September 30th and October 1st 2014. Let me know your feedback. Thanks

I wanted to do a Merli Ride on Saturday September 20th. Is hunting an issue there yet?

I am heading to Wales for a work trip in September/October and hopefully tacking on a week's worth of vacation at the end. Has anyone done any riding in Wales? Any recommendations for trails to ride?

Bike prices have gotten out of hand, but I've just seen the rainbow at the end of the storm. Researching new full susp. bikes, I've found a 2015 lineup that has some great deals. 29, 27.5 Fox shocks front and back, full shimano slx components. Both sizes with longer shock, relaxed head angle options. All in the $2500-$3000 range. Giant Bicycles. Check it out online and at Saucon Valley Bikes.

Jerry H. Was nominated several times to receive the $50. Gift certificate to Saucon valley bikes for all his tireless work cutting down trees, invasive species, wild rose bushes, etc. at Sal's these past few months. If you haven't been to Sal's lately, check it out. Normally this time of the year you have to fight the foliage, but thanks to Jerry and a few other volunteers, Sal's is looking good.

Thanks again Jerry and please support Steve at Saucon valley bikes for supporting VMB!
