I was just wondering how many cr members ride. I think we should do something when weather clears up.

 

Post what you got. Heres what I ride.

I'd like to get my 450 on those trails. Any power tools allowed there?

I sure as fuck hope not, and I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

 

Make your own trails, go to trails that are for power sports made by power sports riders. Those trails look so nice because mountain bikes are low impact, relatively speaking. Those trails were probably made by mountain bikers by hand (well the second one looks like an old service road, but the first one looks like it turns to single track pretty quickly).

No, I grew up having dirt bikes and always trekked on foot up thru the mtn bike trails.... it just made me only dream. Riping through there on a mx bike would be nasty. They do have snow mobile trails you might want to look into.

If you actually own that, thats pretty pimp. They are fun but really pointless in ohio.

 

Agreed with above post. There is more clearance in that front end than the drive thru at micky D's

 

I can't justify 4-5k on a bike, but I can on one of these:

I've been riding a Cannondale F900 for the last 9 or 10 years. All stock except the tires.

Before the Cannondale I rode a 1997 GT LTS-3 full suspension that I loved and wish I had back. This bike seen many miles at Alum Creek.

Here is the only picture I have of my bike from 2003. I bought it in 1996 for $800 with no shock. Lots of miles on this old baby.

 

A video I made last summer at Alum Creek with my dog running ahead (same cam I use at Mid Ohio):

I've ridden everyday (rain, and snow) to work and back on my 1996 GT Backwoods. Except for a gunked-up chain issue and some overdue maintenance (considering 2.5+ miles a day in shitty weather) it's been a trooper.

 

It looks kind of like this...Manitou front shocks, different wheels/tires...mine is red. :)

I'd be down for Alum Creek sometime this season...

THAT reminds me of back home (Long Island, NY) when i was a kid. Not a care in the world, go out on my California Freestyle (yeah i know, even had mags on it!) and ride all damn day, from street to trails for bikes, dirtbikes, quad's everything but the sand basically. Though the sand was alot of fun on the dirtbikes.

 

You fucker's are making me want to get into mountain biking.

Multi use trails and equal access is a big deal in places where there are more people who do stuff outside (out west). IMHO multi-use trails don't work. Believe it or not, the horse people have a lot of the power, money and say in the situation. There should be equal access to the land for all, but a bike shouldn't be on a hiking trial and a horse shouldn't be a on a biking trail and a bike shouldn't be power sport trail, ad nauseum. The only one that kind of works is hikers and bikers. I have no problem with the hikers/runners being on the MTB trails, but I whole heartedly believe that bikes shouldn't be on hiking only trails.

 

I never said you shouldn't be allowed in that forest, that is a whole different discussion. If you want to have a trail in that forest, do the leg work, get the permits and build it. Don't go onto the MTB, hiking or horse trials and destroy all of the hard work that people put into those for those specific purposes. It's only selfish of you to want to do whatever you want (ride your power sport on a non-power sport trail). I don't think you have an inkling of an idea how much work it takes to build and maintain a trail.

Love the Cannondale, and old school GT.

 

My rides is currently a GF Big Sur, spec'd in XT shit, Manitou Fork, yadda yadda. Aluminum frame, carbon chain stays.

 

Previous ride was a new 2007 Trek Fuel Ex 8 with a few upgrades, as well as a custom wheel build, blue Chris King Hubs laced to Salsa Delgado wheels, DT Swiss spokes and a blue spoke nipples. Broke the frame in half, got it waranteed and sold it.

 

Previous to this, I owned a Cannondale F500 with XT, pretty much was one of my favorite bikes. Learned alot working on it, and it took a massive beating.
