Hey all, new to the site and figured this was the place to start. Getting back into MTB after a lot of years of being busy with youth sports, looking for locals to ride with who aren't trying to kill me while I get back into hiking shape. Not a newbie, just not very fast.

Home turf is Mercer Park, been riding there since the early days of full suspension fatbikes (my first was a carbon Trek Y11). Also have plenty of rides at Sourlands, 6 Mile, and Chimney Rock, but not in a long time. Most of my MTB buddies have moved away or aren't riding anymore, so...if anybody is riding locally and doesn't mind an old fat guy tagging along, I'm game.
 
I'm an old fat guy who also once owned the death machine.

Hey @Rusty , I know you're not talking about me! 😀

Welcome @RoB!
Hit me up to ride any time.
Hopefully you can make it out to help the Mercer JORBA trails team (SMART)
on Fatbike lane maintenance day some time too.
Ride on!

In case his magic ball is broken, the next TM date is May 20th?

Thanks Michael. I was a member of SMART when it began way back in the day. Built many bridges and removed a lot of fallen trees in my time. 🙂. Happy to help whenever I'm available, I'll check for Fatbike lane days on the forum.

Planning to ride at Core Creek tomorrow morning while my girls are at softball practice. Never been there before, hopefully I won't get lost. 😛

Awesome man! You probably know @Mick714 ...

@sk1er18 is correct, May 20th is the next scheduled TM. You can find our schedule here: http://jorba.org/
Funny, I plan to be at Core Creek tomorrow morning as well to meet a couple of buddies at 9 am. I don't know the place well but it's small.

Welcome Rob! There are lot's of Robs here. I am not one of them, but I'm sure they welcome you as well.
 
Core Creek was a bust, rode for about 45 minutes and had a mechanical that prematurely ended my day. Seems like a lot of fun trails there, but finding my way around was a challenge to say the least. Is there a good map of the trails anywhere online?

I don't know of a Fatbike lane map but I can ask the Philly Meetup guys.
It's pretty simple though. Basically just 3 lollipop loops.
Looks like this:
