Well, I sat there for 30 seconds, staring at a sign, waiting
for something to happen. 5 seconds would do it, or just a
blank screen with the address.

Damn... you should come up to ETSU in Tennessee for the
collegiate race I'll be going to this coming weekend
Otherwise I'd go to Razorback....

I've ridden road in Tenn before, not mountain bike. It had
some cool mountain roads with big speed and really great
switchbacks. I particularly liked a state park just out of
Nashville with a mountain road ride all the locals there
train on. I didn't get any chance to see mountain bike
trails there. I am planning on Tsali and Pisgah in the next
month, but don't know enough about Tenn to make any plans,
especially considering the distance.

I'll let you know when the local club and I head up to Razorback---
maybe you'll want to be in the video

slow

you forgot to factor fun in

what a crock

sounds absolutely frightening

that's because you don't have a rigid singlespeed

God damn it, JD, I've got tears streaming down my face like
a roadie on Montezuma Grade.

Baton Rouge. It's only about 20 or so miles of trails, and
the only thing we have local.

An hour from here, is Clear Springs, in Mississippi. You can
hit 40+ on some of the downhills there. Then there's a trail
in Liberty.....don't know much about it. About 45 minutes
from here, they're working on some new trails in St.
Francisville, with some real hills (notice I did not say
mountains).

The best trails in the state though, are about 3 1/2 hours
from here, in Ruston. The guy that laid them out, is the
same one doing the trails in St. Francisville.

I would not recommend planning a vacation around coming to
these trails to ride, but they're damn nice for the locals.
