I'm getting back into riding more heavily. I didn't bike last year due to a bent crank on my old Schwinn. I decided to go ahead and pick up a DB Overdrive Pro and I'm having a blast with it. I live in Pennsylvania extremely close (I can see the trail from where I'm currently sitting) to the Blue Marsh Lake trails and I'm looking for some stuff that isn't too far away from here that I can try out on a day off.

Also of interest are trails in the State College area, as I'll be moving there mid summer. Any info on trails or parks would be sweet.

Thanks

You came to the right place...lots of PA riders here. Good luck and have fun. State College has some of the best goods in the country.

French Creek State Park should be on your "must ride" list. C'mon down to the "On The Rocks At French Creek" MTB race on Saturday May 10th!

This guy (http://lockringnotincluded.blogspot.com/) and his lot hang out at Blue Marsh a lot. As long as you don't mind fixie-types and singlespeed riders they might show you the ropes, an'nat.
