Rear wheel dusty spinouts when climbing

[indysteel]

I'm in northern Delaware, and most of my riding is done here or in eastern Maryland. Our trails are mostly hardpack or loose over hard, with plenty of roots and smaller rocks. Occasionally, there are patches of sand and silt, particularly in flood plains and water crossings.

Occasionally, DH and I will head into Pennsylvania, where the rocks get bigger. I'm always up for a mountain biking road trip and some new terrain

Thanks for info! You should come out this way sometime!

Happy to oblige! We need to have a TE weekend in Brown County one of these years. Hmmmm; there's an idea!

I would come from Denver!

That would be great! Honestly, I don't think it would be hard to put a weekend together. It's a question of deciding the best weekend to do it in terms of weather and when there's no conflict at the park. The only drawback to this area is that, as far as I know, there's no place to rent bikes for anybody flying in. I have a spare 15" HT, but that's it.

Anyway, it's certainly something to ponder!

Ya know, I would probably drive and bring my bike. But I just checked and it would be 2 full days of driving each way. I was thinking we were at least a few hours closer to each other

There is a bike store in Columbus that rents mountain bikes, and I believe another one in Bloomington or the area. I would happily join on on a weekend TE camping/mtb trip! BGI in Indianapolis also rents mountain bikes. The Inn at Brown County State Park has decent rooms, and they also have family size cabins for rent.
