Winter is when the trails are their best..........they are solid as concrete, the rocks are frozen to the ground, velcro like traction and no mud.

Aside from the listed trails in the Wissahickon, check out High Rock Vista at Ralph Stover State Park in Bucks, near New Hope. Also, the Pennypack Wilderness in MontCo is okay. Decent length trails, not a ton of hard climbs though.

I think I am going to hit Jacobsburg on Friday. I don't care if it's muddy the weather says 68 lol.

ej06WRX · 03-14-2011, 07:45 PM

Guess I should have searched in the PA section lol. That trail finder site will definitely be helpful.

well i figured i would let you guys know that im looking into getting a new bike. i went to guys bikes in Feasterville the other day and test rode the 2011 fuel ex 8. i loved it. lol just waiting for my tax return to come in and im going to pull the trigger. those trails in DE sound awesome, cant wait to check them out. has anyone been to the trails behind the neshaminy high school? i ride there pretty regularly.

launch bike park @ spring mountain

bangorxb · 04-08-2011, 11:32 PM

I frequent Jacobsburg Park, since I only live a few minutes from there. Also have been to Raystown Lake a few times as well. Nice riding at both places.

vdcoff · 04-09-2011, 12:50 PM

some people on here already posted it, but south mountain is excellent, also jacobsburg is good

O2SpecV · 04-09-2011, 02:10 PM

wow i wish i found this thread earlier, i used to ride all over the place, besides all of the places listed, i know where a good amount of trails are. I rode downhill, so i was always looking for DH trails, but places that i have rode that are pretty nice are Marsh Creek, Off of Skelp Level RD in West Bradford TWSHP, The Duryea Downhill trail in reading is the best by far, but your gonna need to get shuttled back up. I know where a lot of hidden gems are. I really wish i still had my bike though

Shawn Lichtfuss · 04-11-2011, 09:36 AM

^^^Nice kona. I'm still on a older model remedy

O2SpecV · 04-11-2011, 10:02 AM

Thanks, I put alot of work into it. It's my am bike. I'd like to get a transition next. Is that kona your current bike or are you on something else?

**Ender81** · 04-11-2011, 10:37 AM

I'm just rocking a Specialized Rockhopper. If I keep riding pretty regularly I can justify a full suspension setup maybe next year or the year after.

XxIriponzeesxX · 04-11-2011, 09:23 PM

i went to a trek demo day this past sunday, i ended up riding a trek fuel 9.9 all carbon. man was that thing sweet. i couldnt believe how much i could throw it around. it took turns like they were nothing. i absolutely loved it. too bad i cant afford half of it lol.
