Title: 1st time in Pennypack
Post by: halfLoop on July 03, 2008, 07:11:30 AM
Rode Pennypack last night for the first time ~ it was a lot of fun exploring around and there are some real nice trails to be had.  Went with two guys who have ridden there previously but somewhat forgetful about the trails...we rode for 3 hours.

Couple of little hills, logs here and there, several stream crossings (one has nice downhill approching the stream) and tight curvy singletrack some out in the open and more going through all the dense jungle (my favorite).  We didn't see many others on the trails - definitley will head back there again.

Yeah, Pennypack is definitely a good time.  Not a challenging as the Wiss, but it's still fun.   ;D

I'd like to nightride there some time. There's a small group of riders there that goes weekly HalfLoop if you're ever interested on exploring the place a little more.

I'll have to get back to you on that but I know there's quite a draw to the night riding there too.

yeah, i'd be up for trying PP at night...probably will have to wait till it starts getting dark at 6:00 pm though as that would be my arrival time
