    Cool sounds good. My brother was telling me that there are some trails behind doreseville middle school that are supposed to be pretty good. We could check those out or just hit up hartwood.

    lets just do hartwood, dorseyville tralis BLOW....

    Ryan, im kidding bud... I just dont understand how those guys (you know the ones im talking about) go from a decent built 29er to completely stripped down no suspension and still have a ton of $$$$ tied up in it. Just strap on a F29 and lock it out when you dont need it. Honestly I have ridden mine both ways, and I would rather have the travel, than no travel at all... But then again the F29 is balla!

    weight man. weight.

    the rigid is like 2.5 lbs lighter than the shock.

    it's just a lot of fun. you gotta try it at least once.

    i'll probably ride the paragon. i'm just giving you a hard time.

    I hear ya on the weight issue, but I say it over and over again, loose it on your own body first, once your at a weight where you cant loose anymore and your still strapped to loose weight, only then put the bike on the diet!

    um sorta. as the bike gets lighter it handles better/differently. especially rotational mass on a 29er. its not just an overal weight issue.

    what time we meeting tomorrow?

    whitetail management inc is hunting hartwood acres, more tax supported public land that you have to pay a private club to hunt

    hmmmmmm, you guys wanna do North park then? I'd rather not end up with an arrow sticking out of me.

    urbanek and i found a loop up by the church that's pretty nutty. technical, flowy, and fast. it'll beat ya up though, but it's one of the most scenic trails we've found.

    any thoughts?

    if we're able to do hartwood this may be helpful.

    hartwood acres,north park,south park,boyce park,all public land in greentree,mt lebonon,upper saint clair and whever else are all being hunted by white tail management inc. they thank you for your donation aka taxes that support all these public lands for their private hunting club and NO you may not hunt unless you pass their test and pay their fee!

    We rode Seven Springs all day today. A little cool, but lots of fun. My wife set a new record for slowest ride down the trail from the Polar Bear Express lift. The gravity park trails are a blast and the mountain bike trails are pretty good as well. Time for beer and pizza...

    no hunters to be found.... I will talk to my step dad who is head of WTM, I didn't think they were allowed to hunt there. Anyways trails have slot of leaves on them so it made it a bit hard to find your way at times, but we rode for about 3 hours.
