Speaking of Neshaminy, Guys Racing is looking for volunteers to help out with the race course there. For those who don't know that's where we hold our MASS race. Usually when we do work there we ride when we're done. It's one of the best courses in the series.
There may be work going on there this weekend. If anyone is interested let me know and we can try to make it up there. I know the guy in charge of the course is hurting for help, maybe PMBA can help him out.

I should be able to help out this weekend, depending on what time they are working and how quickly I'm going to get done with the house project.
keep the info coming.

Take US-1 North (that's Roosevelt Blvd for you, city slickers) past exit for the PA TP.
After TP there will be a big downhill and then back up. As soon as you get to the other side of the hill, the road will split into express and local lanes. Take the local (stay to the right  )
First right turn, after some rock quary place and before speed shop. That's park Ave.
Make immediate right into Highland Ave. That will take you back under US-1
At the light make a left into Old Lincoln Hwy.
about 1/4-1/2 mile down the road there will be a HS on your right. Drive into the driveway, turn left when you get to the building, there will be a parking lot in front of you and a football stadium beyond the parking lot. Park there.
Multiple trail heads are behnd the stadium.
Explore.
The parking lot is the marker A on this map:

That's awsome to hear  I work a few miles from there, about 3 miles south of the Turn Pike off of Rt 1. Having multiple destinations for riding just a short distance from my work puts a smile on my face!!! I now have the options of riding Penny Pack on my way home or Neshaminy. I'd love to meet up for a ride to get to know the place.

Latest word I got is that the head trail guy will not be working there this weekend. I will try to find out if there is any other volunteers planning on being there. If someone still wants to go there and work on some trails I will make the connections. I will be scoping out the registration area for the Ralley in the Valley on Sat and cannot make it to Neshaminy.

This Sunday 4/6 there will be small crew doing trail work at Neshaminy. I plan to be there. Work starts at 9 in the back parking lot. To get there go around the High school to the right and thru the gate. This work will be for the MASS Race there later this year.

i'd possibly like to help out Sunday
My van brakes are a bit mushy so anyone want to give me a ride? Keep in mind I can only handle a couple hours of trail and a couple hours of riding at most

There's also Core Creek state park near you. It's off of Bridgetown- Millhouse Pk & 413. I was up there a few weeks ago & someone added decent jumps inside the trails.

Yeah MASS has a race there each year and it's a workout! Only time I've endo'd on this year. Kelly also banged up her shoulder; that place kicks butts and takes names!

They pack a great 5+mile course into the hill side.

I rode there today. The leaves make flying thru turns a little tricky.
