October Trails Jammin

Going into last weekend Saturday was suppose to be nice and Sunday crappy. Turned out the exact opposite. I got in 2 attempted runs before the rain and my back told me to chill out for the day. The buffalo locals were down and Wilson made it out for some ripping. Did some rehab on my back and did a couple of hours of digging with Brad. The 4th dip and 5th lip is shaping up nice in Geronimo so it can sit over winter. The 5th landing is there from over 12 years ago, but looks to be close to where it needs to be once we build the back up.

Sunday I got to the trails and I thought a jam was going on by the number of cars in the parking area. There was more cars then any jam we have ever had. The woods were packed. The weather was great, the dirt moist, the fire pit roaring and kids having fun on bmx bikes in the woods. The back was feeling good for a while and got some attempts down on the Main Line. Trains were rolling steady most of the day and some youngins dropped in on the roll-in for the first time. Captured some trains on video, but proceeded to tape over most of the PSU trail jam from 2 weeks early. Good job jackass. Here is a link to a PSU jam video I just found on Vimeo. http://www.vimeo.com/16153956

No photos from the weekend worth posting, but some good video for the year end video. I heard there are some photos on Alleghany Cyclery's Facebook page, so go there if you have Facebook. Get to the trails and get your runs in before the snow flies or if the rain ever stops.

We are exactly 1 hour away from Behrend. Email me at work and I can give you more info if you are interested in coming down. Trails are still running even with all the rain we got Monday night. joe.glotz@warrenindustrialsolutions.com
