Philadelphia Mountain Biking Association - Forums

Yo Rico, saw your post in other thread. Want to try and join you for a ride through Pennypack. I don't know those trails and would like to check them out... Who else is in? Lou

Two of my friends are coming out with me.  I would love to show you the trails that I know, but it will probably be a slow ride (start singing Foghat) since I haven't been on a bike in about 2 months and my friends ride around the same pace as me.  Just a warning.  ;D

dude its all good. I will be 20lbs heavier from Turkey Day and all the fixins and just lookin to get out and ride new trails and not puke.

Sounds good.  I'm hoping to be there at 11:030 or noon to ride.  Me and the future Mrs. need to meet with the priest at 10:00 or 10:30 and it's right near the Park....how convenient! ;) 

We'll probably miss you. Here the info for Lisa's philly freerider's ride:

I'm going to see if any of the Pennypack local boys are available too as some of the best stuff needs a guide.

i'm new , first post ,  i'm in for friday , as much as i love riding wissahickon going to pennypack is a great change of pace.

I'm in for ridding Penny.  :P

I am in.

Nevermind. I'm out. Enjoy.

It was a good day, at least good for me since it was the first time I was out in 2 months.  Hard to see almost any of the trails since they were covered with leaves, but still had a great time. 

As I come rolling into the Pine Road parking lot on my way to pack it in, I see Jesse and Jon.  Hope they had a good ride that day.

Sucks I missed the ride but Krotee and I did a last minute excursion up to Boston to visit a childhood friend. We rode Lynn Woods trails up in Lynn, Mass, and it was un-in-credible-believable!!! It seriously should be called the Moab of the East. It's that good... Wow... Anyway, gotta get Pennypack on the ride list. It's like virgin territory to me, only rode there once... GO EAGLES!!! Lou

Friday's ride was good, it was nice to ride in a group again, not alone. cool place to ride.

Yo Lou -- Wow my wife's uncles live in Lynn, and the last time I was there I met a few of her uncle's (younger) friends who happened to ride and they mentioned there was some great riding in and around the area. Guess I'm bringing my bike next time I'm up there! I'll have to get more info from you before I go...  ;)
