Bald Pate mountain is slowly becoming mountain bike "unfriendly" so i am saying screw this place. time to devote efforts to places where mtn bikers (and their efforts) are appreciated. *pissing all over BP and their politics*

trails are great right now. only crappy part is the long climb around after the connector trail. still some trees down.

right on - there was 1 JORBA trail maint meeting last year with about 8 people @ Bald Pate. I think between JORBA and this forum we can increase our numbers. There are some needs to be filled like: quads to get equipment out to the desolate areas, rework some of the trails that have aweful...

trees were down on almost every trail i rode. one at the bottom of the wood chip hill was turned into a sweet log jump though. (Cheers to who started it cuz i finished it.)

Today was a complete disaster at Bald Pate. Lots of trees down and mud everywhere. I prob walked about 1/4 of the ride. The nice part is Harvey's Trail is dry but it is not worth the climb to get there. things of note: -need a chainsaw crew -one of the red houses/barns up by the "James...

aye - we need bike only trails too. This is a big undertaking but no impossible...

aye its going to be wet no matter what :-\ the new linking trail took 3-4 days and 5-6 person crew. i bet with about 15-25 people we could fix this place up, divert some trails away from those springs, etc...

i am going to loop Bald Pate Saturday morning. i hope its not too muddy. I cant wait any longer though.. prob be at the pond lot (fiddlers creek) about 9-930ish if anyone is trying to crank. NOTE: we are also doing trail maintenance on Neshaminy trail Sunday morning for those inclined...

Hunting is over until next winter! Time to get some crews together and get some trailwork done. It should be nice enough in a few weeks..

i ride here all the time. there is very little foot traffic in the WC portion and i have never been hasseled for riding there. There was a new map put out saying only 1 trail was off limits but i have *never* seen anyone there to enforce. want my advice? ride the hell out of that place :)

essentially Sundays only for Pate riders till Feb 2010. not the end of the world considering how muddy its been...

Lots of climbing - very little technical stuff (so far!)

i rode yesterday and everything was dry. The only problem i saw was hoof prints on our newly fixed power line trail. We need to post a sign or something. Otherwise its going to get torn up again and again and again...

i didnt even know about this place. looks like it has real potential. Now we will have Bald Pate and Bell Mountain right down the road!! w00t!!!

Rode last night - conditions were atrocious. We really need to get a crew together for some major trail maintenance. We need some cleanup of current trails, re-routing of continually muddy spots, and trail building in some new areas i've been scouting (including extending Harvey's...
