I have been biking Valley Green for about a year and just moved out of Philadelphia (where Valley Green was my back yard).  Can anyone suggest other places to mountain bike in the greater Philadelphia area.  Also, are there any new member events coming up?  Thanks all.

Keep trails friendly. Go by slow and say "Hello"

Rode White Clay/Middle Run today. That place is sweet. Trail crew there does some impressive stuff.

Rode Blue Marsh for the first time yesterday. It's really nice. Not as technical as Wiss, but the climbs and hills are about the same size, with couple of them a bit steeper-n-taller.
Very nice fun place!

Don't forget about French Creek State Park and Bear Creek Ski Area - both about an hours ride from Philly up into Berks County..  Jim Thorpe's about and hour and 15 mins as well.  The further north and west you go, the bigger the climbs and the greater the size and quantity of rocks.

There is also the Blue and Red Trails in Green Lane Park.  About 20 minutes north of Harleysville - home of Bikeworks and the famous Mr. Ed.
