Mountain Biking Gathering

[MeFryRice]

It appears that there are a few people on the board that enjoys mounting biking just as much as I do. I have yet been able to go since I've moved here from Utah a few years ago. When the weather begins to warm up again, how many people would be interested in riding a trail or two?

I'm in. I hope my dad didn't get rid of my bike in the Great Garage Cleanout...

Thanks! :banana:

Also, what trails does everyone recommend? I personally prefer something more technical but I doubt everyone is on the same physical shape level so we'll need to start off with something more "easy".

I may come. I haven't gone mountain biking in 5+ years, so I'll probably be really bad! And I would be one of the people in the "not-so-great-of-shape level"

[MeFryRice]

That's fine. You can ride my mom's bike since you no longer have yours.

I have only been to trails in Athens and the mountains. My dad works with most trails in this area some are really good, I haven't been on any real beginner type trails around here. I like technical stuff, and I like a good fast technical downhill as well.

I'm about to buy a bike and would love to join. I grew up racing BMX, but that was many years/beers ago. Sign me up for the "easy" trails with potential to move onto something a little more challenging later!

[simontibbett]

Where are all of you located? There are trails in Oakwood at Gainseville State College that are pretty easy.

I'm up for it. It's been a few years.

[Sawyer]

Steve and I are in Newnan/Peachtree City.

[RotorNutFD3S]

As am I.

No worries Nick, for the first few trails, I recommend we ride an easier trail so no one is left behind and can ride at a comfortable pace. It won't be a race to see who can complete the trail the fastest.

As Sawyer and Eric have already indicated, we're on the south side of Atlanta but knowing that the mountains/trails are north, I am expecting to make a commute to wherever.

well, im beyond in on this one

i also have a friend who manages a small bike store in smyrna, who USED to be a miata enthusiast...off-topic but i get great deals

Blankets Creek in Canton, GA is amazing, several different tracks, all skill levels

Big Creek in Roswell- they even have a downhill track (simple we are in GA)

Sope Creek, Marietta- piss on this place too many rocks

The Olympic Horse Park in Conyers, where they also rode MTB during the olympics

Jenn and I went walking around Sope Creek one day... trails didn't look bad at all....and there are a LOT of trails....and you can go jump in the creek to cool off :lol:

Jenn has a mtn bike..and i've been browsing CL now and then to get one for myself. I'm like Nick, I used to do BMX/street stuff... but it's been like 10 years...though I still have my nice shiny GT Tour.
