Myself and a couple other knuckleheads will be up in the Pennypack area meeting the Fuji people and touring the factory and we want to hit Pennypack around 6pm. Anyone who knows those trails gonna be around? I only rode there once and I don't remember any of them. Please let me know! Thanks!

Lou, I may be able to be there.  It depends if I get back from my golf outing in time.

Golf? Yuk

I'll reach out to my co-worker who rides there every night. He's been bugging me to join in on a ride.  He may be willing to take you for a tour. How may riders and how many hours do you want to put on the trail?? FYI, he's fast. Ask Dr. Saw, he's chased him a few times in the Wiss.

C'mon......look at that perfect swing!!!

Shwooosh!! ... FOUR!!.....

" I never slice..."
 :P

You know what'd be awesome? A golf course MTB park  ;D 

I used to golf a lot but now I go about 4 times a year with clients, and I move some earth. Anyway, I am up for at least an hour or 1.5 hours at the most at a good pace. Is there that much riding there? Please let me know and I can pass my # to your buddy. Thanks!

I gave him a heads up about the ride tomorrow night. Trying to get him to chim in and post on the boards. I'll keep you posted. To answer your question about "Is there that much riding there?", yes, alot. If you know your way around you can put in a good ride. Nothing like climbing in Wiss, but still another great resource all in city limits!!!


Polo Mt biking on single track!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey MArk, any word from your buddy? PLease have him call me at 215-817-9271 if he can meet us. We plan to park off Pine Rd. unless he has a better location. Thanks a lot!

I mentioned it to him last night. Most of the guys in our shop take off by 3:30 so he's gone for the day. If you see a tall skinny mo-fo riding a singel speed 29'er decked out in Guy's Bikes apparell, that's your man............He did mention that he needed to do a rebuild to his rig last night for an up coming race this weekend.

If you're parking at Pine Rd you can head either direction from there. If you get turned around in any section just head back to the paved path and it'll lead you to the lot. A guide through there would help to find all the smaller trails. Sorry man :-[

Hey Mark we did end up running into your buddy Pat on the trail. I race for Guys as well, turns out we knew each other. I put two and two together when he said your name. We had a good ride.

Nice!! The world just got a little smaller  ;D

How was the ride?? Did you he show you around? He's been asking me to ride at Pennypack but I just haven't had the time.

Yea he showed us some cool stuff that we probably never would have found. He said there is tons more and want us to come back again sometime. It kinda reminds me of a mild version of Belmont.

Yea it was an awesome ride! THere is some cool stuff there. Just another feather in the cap of Philadelphia Mountain Biking...

we were definatly fortunate to run into Pat, he mentioned your name, an showed us a new section that was designed extreamly well, it was a mile long section, of singletrack, similar to belmont, it was wet an overgrown making it visually challenging, at one point my glasses were so foggy I had one foot of site infront of my tire in the damp jungle, gotta love new trials.

It's moments like those where you hug the rear wheel of the rider in front of you and ride like hell, well at least if you're following Pat :D

I tend to call it a visual challenge when my glasses fog over.

Glad to hear you guys had a good ride. Pat's been telling me to come there and see all the fine work by the trail fairies ::)

where did they make new track at ?  I was planning on riding there tomorrow, I would like to check it out.
thanks
