No idea if anyone would be interested, But I am looking for someone to go Mountain Biking with on Saturday. I plan on heading to Hunters Creek park in the afternoon. 3-ish. I am fairly new to trail riding, and still getting back into shape, so you’d have to have some patience. Just a Gary Fisher hardtail. It is only my second time out at Hunters Creek too, so I am not familiar at all. Anyone who is interested in riding, post up here, toss me an IM online, or hit up my cell, 716.982.3093 -Steve ---

Yeah… I was thinking you… But then remembered you didn’t have a bike. Do you have any sort? Like an older Hardtail or something? Or are you completely empty handed? ---

I have plans today other wise I would have gone. I know Hunters fairly well, but only have ridden twice this summer so would be equally out of shape as you probably. ---

Well, i am out of shape still, skeptical of riding alone, and not familiar with the park at all. Only been there once. ---

I’ve got a Gary Fisher Tarpon. (entry level) It’s a hardtail with a low travel 63mm front fork. A rigid fork would just be more brutal on the body and require some more technique on the steep downhill as the bumps will throw your tire contact off more and make braking more tricky, but you could def. ride a rigid bike there. Me and Chris (soloscoob) went on Wednesday, it was fun as hell. Bunch of hills I had to walk up still. Lol. Need to get some power in my legs still. Hah.
