Fort Harrison State Park / New Trail Rocks!
« on: June 07, 2012, 07:50:14 PM »
I have helped build a lot of this trail especially early on.  Today I rode the new loop for the first time in several months.....WOW good stuff.  The new stuff Alex built is incredible!!!  Kudo's to everyone who has lent their hand building this loop it really evolved nicely.  I had 4.1 miles from start to finish parking lot to parking lot.  I rode it both directions and I don't know what other opinions are but I thought it flowed WAY better going the clockwise direction.  The downside to this is your going up Alex's section which was the best part going counterclockwise for sure.  Just curious as to what others think?

Fort Harrison State Park / Mile markers
« on: October 24, 2011, 10:00:55 AM »
My good friend who is a Lt. on the City of Lawrence fire department informed me they made a run out to the trail this past weekend or week.  According to him someone overshot a corner and went down an embankment and ropes, etc.. were used for the rescue.  He asked if I could pass along to HMBA or Fort Harrison staff for mile markers to be installed along the trail?  I have forwarded him the link to the trail map but for someone relaying their position in the woods its sort of difficult for the FD to locate and know where to enter without mile markers of some sort.  Thanks!  Ryan

Tech Bench / 8 speed Mtn. Bike wheel?
« on: October 11, 2011, 10:56:18 AM »
Posting this message up for a friend.  Does anyone know where he can get his hands on an 8 speed rear Mtn. bike wheel?  He says his old 7 speed isn't working well with his new chain and rear derailleur.  Thanks for any help!  Ryan

Advocacy / High School Mountain bike leagues?
« on: August 10, 2011, 03:53:58 PM »
I've been reading about it for several years now in Mountain Bike Action Mag.  Has anyone tryed to get this started?  Seems to be very popular in the states that have started it.  I think with the network of trails that have come on board the last several years that it could fly.  I would love to throw the idea out there for some of the Hamilton County area schools or any schools for that matter but would need some help otherwise getting it going.  Ryan
