More Mountain Biking Pics
Went to Cranberry Glades area of the Monongahela Nat'l Forest this past weekend for an awesome biking trip. 23 Mile ride, 4 hours, dropped 2,500 feet in 8 miles, all single track and pretty technical. The whole area is a dream!

Looks like a damn good time.
Did you car shuttle to the top, or loop a climb and descend?

Re: More Mountain Biking Pics
We drove to the top, rode up and down the ridgeline for about 12 miles then bombed down the mountain 2500 feat in 8 miles. And shuttled back to where we started...It was pretty awesome. Hopefully some of the guys will post some more pics...
Check out the forum where I met these guys on line Tom...it's a hoot!

They are elite riders...A couple of guys race mountain bikes too...Not even in the same league as me...but I was able to hang with 'em...

Re: More Mountain Biking Pics
If I'm by myself I carry my bike in the van. If I have a crew they go on my Thule hitch mount rack.

Re: More Mountain Biking Pics
Nice pics!
Looks like some sweet terrain. Rode around Fayetteville some where a few times when we would paddle the New and the Gauley. Awesome area.
Hey, I couldn't help but notice someone rolling old school with the ridgid, rim braked, flat peddled, straight bars with bar ends. Is that yours or your bro's?
