Troegs Try some Troegs out of pennsylvannia I recommend the 8% Double Bock - get involved!

Troegenator Double Bock Just tried a new beer from Harrisburg,PA called Troegenator Double Bock - really nice and 8.2 alcohol, however, it does not have a strong bite by any means. get involved

Good Luck and have fun Tim, Dont worry about what your riding as long as it rolls - get satisfaction when you start passing guys on bikes that are way beyond their abilities

Living under a shell Mountain Biking is bigger than you think . Go to chimney rock park main lot on newmans lane on a nice saturday afternoon and check it out. not only will you see a full lot but also quite a few out of state drivers. enjoy

Skiing or Snowboarding I concur - Snowboarding is definitely more difficult that skiing the first few times, however, if you want to ride a snowboard - keep with it. After a few days, it will magically click and you will be hooked. My point is to choose what sport you think you want to go...

Having second thoughts of riding I am thinking of now packing Mace along with my tools of the trade when I ride after reading this thread

Thank you for all the recommendations! Thanks to all - this site has been very helpful. Considering the state champ and DC29 (overall 2nd in standings) both use the Bonty3 - I will have to go this route when I figure out the combination on my wallet

After countless flats on my new 29er due to wanting to run less PSI and pinch flats - I am looking to go tubeless with Stan's. i am looking for recommendations for tire choice for riding at places like C-rock aka chimney rock. Thanks in advance

Supreme Conditions C Rock has been pretty dry all summer long. It has been so dry, even when we get signicant rain - it actually makes it a bit better - better grip. Even after the Northeastern today and friday - i bet saturday will be fine.

Hats off to DC29 - to a great season Congrats to a great season - there is nothing wrong with coming in second place - mostly after just completing your first real complete racing season. Now that the season is done, looking for some fun rides and than snow.

I crashed on the same bridge on 8/29 I have to agree with you. I crashed on what i believe to be the same bridge heading toward 27 (approx 4 feet and it goes left to right). took a bad line when I got off the bridge to the left and my front tire got caught up. Looking back, I feel I got lucky...

Lemmy I heard Lemmy rides a 29er now

clipped in for general cross country riding - i think that clipped in is the only way to go for anyone somewhat serious about riding/training. it does not take long to get comfortable with them and you can always clip out like I like to do around tight turns

Chimney Rock has it all Do not be scared of Chimney Rock - It has something for begineers up to strong intermediates - It is slick after rain but otherwise very tolerable - There is packed dirt, some embedded rock, loose rock, log crossings, and ramps. There are several hills to ride up or down...

too late wish I knew about this event - looking to make the neccessary switch to 29er
