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

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

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.

Florida!
