This weekend's adventure was just as much about good times with friends as it was about riding. Every year a group from home travels to Mifflinburg, PA to visit and ride with a long-time friend and fellow cyclist who lives there. This yearly trip has been a tradition since before Joël and I have been riding and we are honored to now be part of the annual RB Winter Weekend at Wags trip.
RB Winter State Park (part of Bald Eagle State Forest) encompasses 695 acres in central Pennsylvania. The terrain in mountainous and rugged; surrounded by rocky ridges and oak and pine forests. There are over 48 miles of single track/double track trails and nearly 100 miles of interconnecting forestry roads. Trails are maintained in part by Bald Eagle Mountain Biking Association (BEMBA); they are always adding new and exciting trails.
Favorite trails in RB Winter include Old Tram, Top Mountain, and Round Top. The trails are technical, rocky, and jarring. I always feel like they put my suspension and my body to the test. Climbs here usually meander up the mountain, they are long climbs but not super steep. Definitely a fun and challenging place to ride but be ready for a workout!
What a great day riding. It was a big group; filled with old friends and new friends. Thanks to Rylan and Wags for being excellent ride leaders. Besides a good day on the trails, the weekend was filled with catching-up with friends, tasty beer, and good food. Can't wait until the next Lehigh Valley pilgrimage to RB Winter.
