CBBaron Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Mohican this weekend...not sure which day but leaning towards sunday. Wheels in motion at sun up...2 loops is the goal.My new tire is in and I would love to join you. Mohican was a lot of fun last time.But that supposes that I get my taxes done and get the bike ready by then.Ofcourse there is also the problem that I will not keep up with you nor is 2 laps even remotely possible CraigSent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk 2 Edited April 11, 2013 by CBBaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motozachl Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Craig and MyKill, I say you guys hop on the train in Akron with your bikes, head up to Cleveland and then I can ride down to Akron with you guys. Then I'll get my sorry self on the train in Akron and take it back to Cleveland.That's this correct? http://www.cvsr.com/ My neighbor was telling me about this. Would be a cool day trip to riding different areas.I'm thinking about picking up one of those Airborne Guardians for a backup/GF bike. I'm 5'10" and I ride a Fuel EX8 in 18.5" vitual. It seems like it might be a bit too big sometimes. I probably could have gotten a 17.5" but the price was right. My GF is around 5'8", but I would rather it be closer to my size. Any opinions? http://www.airbornebicycles.com/products/110-airborne-guardian-29er.aspxIMO WAYYYY too much $$ to spend on just a GF bike. Take a $50 and find something on craigslist. But if its mostly for you then I'd say don't forget the pedals and change out the tires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBBaron Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Got the new front on my fat bike.Then did road 20 miles with my single speed commuter. Any thing off road is a muddy mess after all of that rain last week. Then spent the rest of the day doing taxes Craig 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the place with 2 parts I hear you guys talking about correct?Alum has two trails...P1 and P2. P1 is typically wet. Smaller hills, more ruts. P2 drys faster, has a few climbs, and has narrow bridges to cross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Did two loops of mohican yesterday. 2:57 the first loop...2:58 the second. had 10 min break in between loops to refill on water. Walking the steps in to work this morning hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Be sure to check trail conditions before riding. Muddy days destroy trails so stay off if possible...especially P1 and P2.http://ohiosingletrack.com/forumdisplay.php/5-Ohio-Trail-Conditions-and-Damage-Reporting?tabid=50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 P1 and P2 are the "intermediate" and "advanced tracks", right? which is which? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorro Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 P1 and P2 are the "intermediate" and "advanced tracks", right? which is which?i would say P1 is more intermediate. Less obstacles and less hills. P2 has a few hills and many bridges. They're both about 6 miles long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykill Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 (edited) P1 is considered the Int trail and P2 is the advanced. I think P2 is only advanced because it has more obstacles and some off camber trial. I dont think its "advanced" but I dont have a lot of experience to compare against. I like P1 better as I find it to be more fun. P1 was muddy today.Parks I may tag along with you depending on when you go.

4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Sounds good. Looking at sunday morning. Probably leave Coshocton around 9am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 P1 has a ton of roots and a creek crossing that make it a challenge.P2 has a ton of obstacles, features, more climbing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scruit Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 how many miles are each?P1 / Intermediate claims to be 5 miles on the sign at the trailhead, but it actually read as 5.5 on my GPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CephasGT Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I'm thinking about picking up one of those Airborne Guardians for a backup/GF bike. I'm 5'10" and I ride a Fuel EX8 in 18.5" vitual.

Any opinions? http://www.airbornebicycles.com/products/110-airborne-guardian-29er.aspxIf you want your GF to actually get into the sport, get a bike closer to her size than yours. It's way easier to ride down than up, and putting her on a bike that's too tall will not contribute to a positive experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
