Green Lane

Some deer wanted to play chicken on the Orange trail in Green Lane. I won that game, but the deer won the high-air comp.
The trail day calendar has been updated for this year. Show some Pennsylvania trails the love in French Creek, Marsh Creek, Evansburg and Green Lane Parks.
See the PaTH website for more details.
It’s called Fall with good reason.
Less daylight means more night riding. Add leaf-covered, wet, slippery roots and rocks, and you have the increased potential for Falling.
But darkness makes me ride better. Not being able to see as well means that I can’t get picky with lines to take. It forces me to keep my body relaxed and moving forward.
If I ride a trail at night, and then ride that same trail during the day, I feel like I’m riding faster. Being alone in the woods, with an 8+ year-old light system and hearing Blair Witch noises also makes me ride faster.
I finally got to ride my new Fisher HiFi on some decent trails and drew first mud. It was just like going back to grade school after summer vacation. You know, when you get that new pair of Chuck Taylor All Stars and you swear you can run faster.
I was cleaning obstacles on the first try; climbing as if a magnet was at the crest of the hill, drawing me up. I was zipping through singletrack like Luke Skywalker on a speeder bike in the Happy Grove1 on the Forest Moon of Endor.

I only wish I was nerd-enough to know that off of the top of my head.
