Yea, bring on the cooler weather!! Finally snapped a pic on how a subie should look. Checked out Harbins Park.... great track with several loops to give whatever level of workout you're looking for. Not tremendously challenging, but as I am getting back into the sport, it was PERFECT for me to get rolling. On a personal note- the interval training on the treadmill is totally FTW as I chugged along all afternoon. Almost like "the good ol' days". http://trails.mtbr.com/cat/united-states-trails/trails-georgia/trail/PRD_438503_4541crx.aspx http://www.gwinnettcounty.com/porta...rksandFacilities/GuidetoYourParks/HarbinsPark The blue is MTB trails: http://www.sorbagatr.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/harbins-trail-map.pdf MTB1 is the "beginner loop", the main parking in between that and the rest of the trails.
Bah, Haters They do exactly what they need to for us. I'm over my hucking stage and too self preserving to be doing anymore bonsai downhills; so this is as far from my rigid roots I need to go. Plus, they still look BADASS. I did seriously consider upgrading to a Scalpel a few years back, but went for the full rebuild instead- new wheels, brakes, rear shock, groupo, and fully serviced headshok in lieu of the tired lefty. Glad I did as this is only the third time it's seen my butt outside since then. I have high hopes of getting more seat time this fall...
Harbins is awesome . Its literally like 2 miles from me. Did you go down the paved hill and back to the left into the woods? Theres a nice little downhill section with some jumps and embankments to add a a little more thrill to the ride.
Love to trail run at Harbins (though i have a bum wheel (knee) right now). Have you checked out Little Mulberry in Dacula, another nice park, not too far from Harbins...
I've been thinking about getting into the trail riding thing lately. Would be some greatly need exercise!
The GF and I stopped by the local Trek store yesterday looking to get new bikes. We should all go riding one weekend now that the weather is starting to cool off.
I am in if you guys/gals pick a trail that isnt too techical. All I have left that is off road capable is my cross bike.
I was going to say something about those classic CannonSnails, then I remembered the Jekyl BadBoy sitting here in the kitchen. Eddie I have a Carbon Raven II if you want to build it up. Sounds like someone beating on a piece of tupperware when on a rocky trail.
