There are ride arounds for most of the parts of the skill part. The hard stuff for the most part.

We'll rde this at the pace of the slowest rider, or we'll split up if we get a large group. This is a great place for an intro rider - the loops are pretty short, there are few rocks, no large killer climbs - just a nice area to ride. The skills area only occupies part of the trail - you can walk around it except for the large planked beginning which you can walk instead of riding it. Assuming good weather, this will be a great ride for everyone.

This trip is this coming Sunday. Assuming good weather we should have a great ride for all levels of bikers. At this point (Tuesday) the weather is a little uncertain, so check this message thread later in the week for any changes. Hope to see a big turnout for this great biking area.

Where can I find an exact map of where everyone is meeting? I click on the link and it shows the whole United States. I'm 50 50 on if I'm going to go.

Check this here and look at the satellite image. You can see the entrance to the gravel rd follows off Possum Hollow Rd, I think the entrance is right across from a Korean church.

I moved that link over to the event desription so it's easier to find. Click on the text that says "map to parking area" For some reason I cannot edit the other links so it just keep going to us map. Oh well.
It's less than an hour from philly...of course that depends on how fast you drive.

What a great ride! Riggs guided about a dozen riders through parts of Middle Run that we had never seen. After lunch we headed over to the Skills Park at White Clay. Unfortunately the thunderstorm, which we had avoided all day, hit just as we arrived and we ended up racing the rain back to the parking lot.

Chicks dig me, because I rarely wear underwear and when I do it's usually something unusual.

That was fun. Too bad the rain cut us short a little, but cruising thru a thunderstorm with thunder and lighting and branches falling around us was an experience. Couldn't even see where you were going. Along with Jeremy's bloody crash we had it all. Good times.

Yeah, it got so dark that I couldn't see the trail with the amber lenses in my sunglasses. And I couldn't take them off because it was raining too hard. I lucked out when I found an exit from the trail onto the access road, rode across the grass back to the car and saved about 5 minutes of riding in the rain. There was some serious lightning out there too.

glad all worked out well aside from the rain, which ended being interesting - nothing like hearing loud lightning claps in the trees. The rain was coming down hard!!!
Good parking area, fun to lounge around for lunch. The trails were in great shape and fast. Peeling down the hills was excellent. riding the log piles up top near the water tower was a blast. I really enjoyed showing everyone around, good riding, fun to ride in a pack. Another notable PMBA event, imagine if we did that whole place. Next time no problem.. thanks heidi tom j pierce & friend chuck kelly borey imbas 'pin of valor' jeremy & wife
