Single Track Sunday
Place: Nockamixon State Park, PA (NOX)
Ridden: November 2013
First off, sorry for the lapse in Single Track Sunday last week. We were visiting family for the week in a cold, snowy place, so not much riding was done.
This week's highlighted riding spot is Nockamixon State Park, located in Bucks County, PA. Lake Nockamixon is a 1,450 acre man-made lake. The park it's self has hiking/running and mountain biking trails, equestrian trails, areas for picnics, disc golf, hunting, and boating. The mountain biking trails (which are also open to hiking/running, hunting, but not horses) are in a separate area of the park, away from most of the other activity areas.
Not many rocks or roots; this place is filled with fast corners, short and steep ups and downs that have a pump-track feel; all nestled between rows and rows of cedar trees. It's like riding a roller coaster between the trees and you are never sure when you may hit one. Sure, there are not many "technical sections" comprised or rocks and such, but testing the limits of your cornering skills and seeing how fast you can go is a skill-set to work on here.
Overall about 11 miles of trails. Multiple smaller loops that come together to make on large loop, so there is opportunity to weave around and get in a longer ride.
