I have a buddy that worked at Break Away as a tech and he said thats all he did. He was real big into it tho, I think he was on the youth team of america.

Trouble Maker Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 What's the word on Alum opening? Iirc it's always been a 'hard' date of may 15. At least for the last few years I've been riding. I'd put money on it being horrible right now from the rain last weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 What's the word on Alum opening? I talked alot of shit on Join OMBA and called them out as trail nazis, and they promptly told me im a dick, they dont control the trails anymore, and locked my thread. I think its open all the time now? I like starting shit over there just for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will remain closed until at least the 15th. Use sense when riding that place, if it has rained in the last ~3-5 days it is too wet to ride. If you want it to be there as a place close to columbus to ride at will i would use your own common sense and not ride it wet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICEMAN1647545504 Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Oh? Do tell and pics if possible. Paid $80 for it at a garage sale. Brand new, still in a box. Not the best bike but it will do for a few months until I find the one I want. http://images.buzzillions.com/images_customers/07/35/8146044_68785_raw.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
