In my efforts to learn a little about Mountain biking (as I am new to
this) I have been searching the web a bit and found an interesting site
I thougt I would mention here. You guys probably have some more
educated thoughts on its worth.

www.Singletracks.com

It seems to ahve a good DB of trails and a logginf feature.

Well, just thought I would mention it. See ya, Mike

Spam is usually a little off topic and really trying to sell you something.
Given the relevance and lack of hard sell, I can't see how that can be
spam....

Look in the dictionary under "subtle". Next, Google the OP and see how
much he/she/it participates in this newsgroup. It was being sold, no
matter how you slice it.

Ok, I really want to be nice to everyone in here but also note as you
google the "OP" that I openly introduced myself as "new" and note o
other post of the "op"'s was advocating ANYTHING! I removed the post,
I will try not to offend you again. (although it seems easy to do)

again I am SORRY, now can we let this drop and return to the apparent
real purpose of this newsgroup -- arguing with Mike V.


such as :

"Mountain bikers are Jerks" - Mike V.

"I know you are, but what am I"


"I know you are, but what am I"

....

Yeah, me too! I know you are!!
What am I?

I am a monster. My dingaling, my dingaling, I want you to play with my
dingaling. My dingaling, my dingaling, I want you to play with my
dingaling. Pump up the jam pump it up while your feet are stomping, and the
jam is pumping. I love bikes!! I like mountain bikes, and I like BMX bikes
also. I prefer mountain bikes more because they have lots of gears. My
friend has a mountain bike but its really **** because his gears got broken
and his dad had to take them of and now it only has one gear, and not only
that but when you peddle you cant even stop peddling because the peddles
keep spinning around like an excercise bike my grandmother used to have. It
was like a penny farthing! But it didn't actually move. It just stayed
still. But if you took the cage of from the wheel and put a tire on it and
then put a back wheel on it would move, but it wouldn't steer. There would
probably be someway to make it steeer though. I am going to ask my
grandmother if she still has it, but i don't think she does

Oinga Boinga. That's what I say when I ride my mountain bike. Instead of
using a bell, I yell out "OINGA BOINGA!!"

Doesnt seem to have caught the attention of riders in the UK.
Kirroughtree and Mabie are well known but are low on the Scotland top 20
list.
Reading and Norwich in England seem to be childrens playgrounds.
(Norwich claims to have a DH, but its in a flatland area).

lame data base, the entries for my area couldn't even get close on the
correct street names for how to get to trail heads.

Sorry guys, I have not seen alot of these sort of DB's and thought this
was a pretty good one, I am sure I will learn better what is worth
while as I increase my experience and exposure to this sport and its
supporting resources, Again, sorry to have wasted your time and
bandwidth.

The best way to tell is how well it matches your local trail
information, as Penny indicated. The best source by far for any area
is a guidebook written by a local. Even what some consider the best
trail information on the 'net can suck quite badly. You have to
remember that most of those sites can have any idiot add their two
cents and most viewers can't tell whether whomever added that info
lives there and really knows what they are talking about. Also, nobody
*asked* for any trail information, hence the spammish look of your
original post.
