hey hey yo! listen up. I told Adonis that some of my tribesmen wants to ride at Round Valley. you guys should really go and should not wait for me. Round Valley is a great place to ride, which I'm sure that all of you will enjoy. right now, I'd like to go, but with the swelling, it may be for a week, or two, before my next ride. I gave Viking his no. but to those who wants to call him it's (732) 735-7722. please go. he's waiting for a call. I'll describe the accident on the other thread.

I heard a lot of good things about Six-mile run trail. I'm down for that. Are you coming tomorrow for moral support? ;D |

O.K. boys so far SSG, Viking, Stumpmastah and myself signed up already. We are still waiting for the rest of the horses and ponies to sign up. C'mon AkaGC this the best place to try your 29r Orbea. RXR let's play on your old playground. Prancing don't tell us you're not back yet cuz there were lots of witnesses saw how you hammered your pedal in Stilly last Sunday. Ratchet I'm pretty sure that there's a bus door always open for you. SS29Omega and Tagman let's go! ChuteKona bring all your students. Bigboy let's ride and get your babysitter working this Sunday. Jeprox tell your better half that you'll skip one of your weekday ride in chp just to be in this road trip. And to all other tribesmen out there let's go! and ride and let the cobweb out on your bike and start using your nice bikes. ;D
TRAIL REVIEW BY Stephen Bigelis:
"The trail is not a loop so you will have to ride back. The first 2 miles are up and downs and a ton of fun. That segment will end with a big rocky stair-case down with a sharp left and a steep drop in to the woods and finally a big grassy down hill with a killer bump at the bottom. (This is definite the most dangerous part of the ride, but not the most technical.)
The next 2 miles are up hill the whole way. Some people talk about a gravel path, if you end up on a gravel path by the water you have went the wrong way. That is for the campers. Basically anytime the road forks go right and up hill. Should be over a mile before the first fork, and then there will be two more forks, each time left is down to the gravel road and right is up to the single tracks. Go right.
Now comes the fun. You’ve made it to the top of the mountain (2nd bench you see- you’ll know it when you see it.) Stretch out those arms, because the next two miles is some wicked single track down, with a couple of spots of heavy rocks. Keep your eyes pealed for obstacles or else some good log jumps might pass you by as you fly down the mountain. (On this section they’re off to the side of the track so you don’t have to hit them if you don’t want to.)
This will lead right down to the water. I usually break here, catch a swim and eat a sandwich. If you tight on time or just whooped you can bike back on the gravel camper trail and when you get to the 1st campsite (#1) take the trail up the mountain about 100 yards and you will be back at the first fork. (Don’t continue past the campsite entrance on the low trail as it dead ends after about a half mile.)
Anyway, if your ready for some technical riding the trail gets serious from this point on. Locals have put a ton of love in the next 2-3 miles and this is a great place to train on those log jumps, and some other crazy stuff that you’ll just have to see for yourself.
The last 2-miles of the trail is closed except from September – December. I don’t know why this is?"
