Caesar's Creek Ride

Well I just got back from a great ride out at Caesars Creek State park. We took the most difficult trail at the park and we were not dissapointed. There is a section of the trail known as the super bowl and that it is. Its like a giant half pipe. It was a little intimidating atfirst because of the rock halfway up the ascent but not enough to stop us from attemping it. What a rush man. The speed is incredible and the adrenaline rush is awesome. Further on down the trail we had an unfortunate accident. One of our riders did an edo and flipped forward down a steep hill. He will be alright.

Length
6.0 miles (9.7km)

Description
Lake Hope Trails are the best riding in South East Ohio. The climbs are a bit tough but riders are well rewarded with some awesome downhill sections. Some of these down hill sections roll like a roller coaster so it it easy to keep momentum and speed. If you end up stuck in ohio for a few days with your bike, hitch a ride to Lake Hope which is just south of Chillicothe Ohio.

I will taking a trip to Manchester New Hampshire here in about a month. Anyone know of any good trails near or around this area. I will be visiting in-laws and need an excuse to get out so I am bringing my bike in the hopes I can find some trails to ride. Thanks to all in advance for contributing thoughts here.

Hey all! I am looking at upgrading to clipin pedals and shoes. I was on a ride recently where I think they wouldhave been a gad send and I am now looking into them as a possible upgrade. Anyone have any advice on this topic? I am currently looking at the Crankbrothers egg beaters.

Scioto State Park Ride

By Zachary1873 on 6/15/2007 on Zachary1873's blog

Well this last weekend I went to Sciot State Park to ride the trails there with a group of MTBers that go by the name of the spokejunkies. (www.spokejunkies.com) This was a great group of people. The trails at Scioto state park are for the more advanced so of course I was the last rider in pack. The uphill climbs are enough to make the most advanced riders stop and take a break. I rode as far as I could and walked the rest of the way. After reaching the summit, the ride back down was awesome. I am talking about some fast technical downhill that goes on for about a mile at a time.
