Hey Kimmy!
Loved your report...especially since I'm going on my 2nd ever "real" trail ride Thursday (rain or shine). I sold my old hardtail and bought a friend's FSR...so I'm pretty excited to see if full suspension is really "all that".
I did my first ride last summer down at Fairhills in DE. It was challenging, but not too technical....great for a beginner. Thursday, a friend is taking me to Pennypack. I'll let you know how that goes. Ruth, where else do you recommend?
(PS...I'll be getting my road bike back from CA next week..so maybe we can get some "lighter side" rides in after work)

Let me know how your 2nd ride went, Beth!
P.S. I am sucking it up and donning all my layers for the COS ride tonight... do you do those? I don't remember. If so, I'll see you there, if not I'll catch you in the future!

Allezgirl,
I do not ride out there that much I live down the shore, so I ride places closer to home. I have ridden Fair Hills and Wissahickon. We have lots of nice places out this way if you and Kimmy ever want to cross the state line and meet me.

I'm sensing a Mid-Atlantic Dirt Divas (and Dirt Divas In Training) Gathering!?
You know you wanna plan this Ruth....

Something fun and challenging but not impossible. Also preferably close to a good pub with microbrews on tap.
Priorities, you know.
