    Rant !

    For the love of G-D , if you can't ride the technical stuff , then get off your bike and walk it , keep trying until you master it or get the heck out of Mahlon , clearly it's well above your ability . Someone has taken it upon themselves to dig up a rock garden and very tech downhill at the...

    I removed debris from the pipe last Thursday . It's still pretty muddy on one side .... a few more properly placed logs will do the trick .

    A favor to ask of all of us .

    Those who ride Mahlon will know exactly what I'm talking about . As you get to the top of the rail bed and take a left into the WMA , you immediately cross a pipe that is supposed to be funneling water across/under the trail . There is forever mud on both sides of the pipe , but mostly after and...

    Why do you ride ?

    I'm wondering why everybody "rides" . Clearly some love to do the race thing . Others just like to ride . What do you get out of it ? I'll go first . I didn't own a Mtn Bike 5 years ago . Swore I wouldn't like it etc..... Last year I rode from May to October about 3-4 times a week at Mahlon...

    Mahlon ... Power Lines question .

    Fogerson or Shagz , I'm guessing one of you guys can answer this . We've been doing a lot of exploring at Mahlon lately. We decided to give the Power Lines a try today instead of just cruising down the rail bed back to the lot . We came to what was almost an impossible "feature" to get around...

    Trail Conditions 10/2

    Mahlon Drains very nicely even after all the rain we had . I'd say 98% of the trials were dry and just great to ride today . A few puddles and wet spot in all the usual locations . River crossing were higher than normal but not to deep to cross at all. Get out and ride .

    Chain question

    Broke my chain this morning as we were finishing our ride at Mahlon. Super steep short incline over "the rock" down by the pond. You need a fair amount of tork to get over the rock and then up the hill. We put the chain back together with what I refer to as a "power link" . I'm not 100% sure...
