Joe, if you can be more specific, like what state you live in.

as far as trails in my area, I can tell you were to go in Louisiana, and southern Mississippi, for
some nice trails.

Hi Joe. If you can be more specific about your location, I may be able to make some better
suggestions. But look up Oak Mountain, in Birmingham (bump.org). Mobile has 2 good trails. In
Florida, there's good trails in Pensacola (porc.org), Tallahassee, Ocala (omba.org), Tampa
(swampclub.org). Mississippi may have one or two trails...also check www.geocities.com/grubby2day/
SE MTB links and basic trail info.

I live on the gulf coast of mississippi in pass christian. I have ridden every trail at desoto. But
im looking for some people to ride with. I don’t goto school and I don’t work. I am available to
ride anytime after next Tuesday as my bike is apart at the moment, while I wait for some new parts
to come in. I can travel wherever from florida to louisiana, pretty much anytime. The reason I
picked up mountain biking is I suffer from manic depression, and since I got my bike...for some
reason I just cannot put it down. I also play disc golf if anyone else in the area plays also. Feel
free to drop me an email regarding anything. Thanks for the responses!

This is so wrong!!

I do have a sense of humor, and I'm no thug. The lame thing was 'dead on' though.

Is this the same pavement that the US had to destroy 15,920,615 hectacres of habitat to build?

Is this the same pavement that uses much more land for transportation facilities than for buildings
or any other structures thus destroying more habitat?

Is this the same pavement that the the I-99 project is building through Pa. State Gameland #278, and
the thousands of acres of private, unimproved land that hundreds of thousands of animals large and
small lived on? HYPOCRITE!

You're your own worst enema.

I am not advocating paving, only USING pavement that's there.

Any you're not protesting against it either. Thousands of acres of habit are being lost and you say
and do nothing. It's because your agenda has nothing to do with habitat.

So you're advocating using the pavement that the US had to destroy 15,920,615 hectacres of habitat
to build. Ok, now I get it.
