Alabama Meet Up - March 11th

Sounds good to me, Ive never rode at Oak Mnt. Or much off-road in general, usually stick to pavement but we can give it a shot.

 

It's been forever since I was there. Last time though all the trails were really well groomed and smooth. It all flowed really well and nothing was obscenely rocky or technical. I assume it's still the same. I'm up for whatever. We can just hit a quick loop.

 

Works for me

 

My bad I should have been more clear. I was talking about the mountain bike trails at Oak Mountain. I'm unsure about any vehicles trails in the area.

 

Ahh yeah makes more sense. I saw the post about bikes and didn't make the connection.

 

The mountain bike trails are good! Lightening is my favorite by far. About as close to downhill riding as you'll get around here. My old job had me running trips out there a couple times.

 

I'm not sure where you are located, but there are a ton of forest service roads up here where I am. I'd be down to get a trail ride together sometime too.

 

I was trying to remember the name of that one! It's been so long since I was there. It'll be nice to get back and ride some on a nicer bike this time.

 

Happened to stumble on this thread just now and I started reading all these posts about biking first. Might be all the motivation I need to get out and join y'all. Haha

You say nicer bike. What you got?

 

The cookies didn't pull you in?

 

Haha, when I clicked the thread, it took me to the last post in it, which happened to be the biking. Didn't even see the rest of the thread except for the first page.

 

I picked up a Transition Transam a few months ago. I rode it and a Honzo and fell in love. I love the slack, steel hardtails. I found a better deal on the Transition and it's my favorite bike I've ever owned. Come on out and get a ride in with us! I'm up at Coldwater all the time too if you ever make it out that way.

 

I'm still riding a crappy Trek 3500 Disc. My plan is basically ride it until the frame cracks or something catastrophic then get a higher line model once I start making real money. Assuming I don't get scheduled for work that day, I'm down to ride with y'all!

 

Yeah I feel you. I just graduated a couple months ago and that was my graduation present to myself. I'm still waiting on the making real money part to happen. Lol. But come on out! We should know a time as we get more things planned.

 

Sweet! I'll keep an eye out for the time y'all decide.

 

You can always go the forest in Tuscaloosa it's just a bunch of dirt roads and trails that branch off they ain't bad at all it's off hwy 82 close to Duncanville it's part of the TNF

 

I want to graduate soon A blue/silver Trek is what I have, thats about all I know. haha

 

I enjoy being out of school, but I do miss it. Lol. I had a blast at JSU. And as long as it has two wheels!

 

And at least one brake if you're fancy, two if you're rolling in the dough.

 

I'm planning to attend, barring work scheduling!
