Howdy

I've been trolling the forums for a little while... but since I've been riding a lot more frequently, I figured I should just join.

I usually frequent Southwestway since it's just down the road. I still consider myself a beginner rider and I'm riding a Specialized Hardrock 26.

Anyway, just thought I'd say hi and introduce myself.

Welcome to the HMBA forums.

Welcome, kaepos!

FYI, ric gives great guided tours of SWW. I have ridden there a good bit but I have come to rely on him for navigation. If you can put up with his snarky comments he is generally good company.

FWIW, you've been lurking, not trolling.    if you had been trolling, you'd have been banned by now. 


SWW is a good park to live near. One of the quickest to dry out in the Indy area after wet weather. I've been riding there a lot this spring because of that fact, as I live closer to Ft. Harrison, which has spots that stay muddy LONGER than just about anywhere in town.

Welcome aboard!  The MTB'ing community is a pretty cool and diverse one, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.  Make sure you hit as many of the different trails as possible as they all offer something a little different and keep things interesting.  Also, if you ever get a chance, join one of the trail work days.  It's a great way to meet other MTB'ers and learn a ton about the sport as well.  Look forward to seeing you out on the dirt.

Hahaha, duly noted. Yeah, it's awesome to have a really nice park to ride. Thanks to everyone that maintains it.

Thanks [emoji1] I've been looking at other places to ride now that my confidence level is going up. I rode Avon today and it was definitely different... looking at going up to Town Run and Ft Harrison within the next couple of weeks.

Get to Brown County next, you won't regret it.
