SUNDAY shuttle runs up at Blue Knob in PA

[Tmsracing37]

So here it is, really the first public invite for anyone from Pa, or the surrounding areas to join myself and the handful of locals that keep Blue knob alive during the non-ski season to come out and shred.

At least once or twice a weekend, we make a trip to "Bk", which usually includes regular trail maintence, digging, and a lot of good riding. We not only have unlimited access to not only all of the Resort side, but also the Blue knob State park side as well. The trails are pretty friendly for just about everyone, but they are no cake walk either.


Sunday, April 27th. We usually meet at the mountain around 11:00a.m., However we also may be doing some trail maintence to the mountain Saturday, April 26th as well.

I'm going to guess that most people will need directions; please just pm me and I will get them to you.
Also any Maryland riders, I can meet you In Hagerstown MD and haul you rest of the way. I drive a s-10, so I carry 5 bikes and 3 passengers and their gear comfortably.

Hey man,

I can't make it this weekend but is BK lift-serve or shuttle? We'll definitely have to put together a road trip of MD people sometime soon and come check out your work.

Were all those pictures taken at BK? I swear some of them look like Wisp, Whitetail, and Hereford from races past.

The rider is Jason

The first 6 are of whitetail and some other resort
The 2 pics shot in the rain are whitetail and the last 5 pics are of Blue Knob.

I remember racing Blue Knob in 02-03. Awesome trails, steep and off camber! Even the "xc" stuff was great. It would be really coll to ride there again. Are some of the old race courses still there??

I wish Whitetail would do some DH again. I worked there this past winter and kept throwing the idea at everyone I talked to. Would be so close. Blue Knob looks pretty cool. How far is that from Hagerstown? I'd be interested in a dig/ride weekend.

- anyone know of where to get a load of dirt? need some.

I dont think its that far, tmsracing makes the trip every weekend from md to come shred with us, im sure you could ethier meet up and catch a ride or i will get you directions. getting up to bk to ride is deffenitly worth it, i promise you will be addicted. we plan on riding again this saturday, im new to ride monkey but i will be keeping a well updated thread on pinkbike.

as of right now we have maybe 4 to 5 different trails on the state park side running right now there are super fresh, just getting nice and broke in with everyone riding alot lately. soon we will be getting back over to the mountain side to dig up the trails there once some of us get out of school for the semester. if you got any questions hit up tmsracing and he will let me know or get ahold of me on pinkbike @ letstossgrenades

[04sgsdh]

Sounds sweet! My weekends should be pretty free after a Diablo run this coming weekend. I'll definitely be in touch for some more info/directions. Trying to ride some more places this year.

B.
-still in need of some dirt.

P.S. You worked at whitetail and you didn’t compete in the winter race? I know it’s a joke, but it is fun watching each other eat shi… I mean snow.

J, I can tell that you and your R/T slayer are hungry for more turkey?

The trails were just beautiful yesterday. I think that was the right amount rain on Saturday, to make the soil nice and loamy.

I was working the Easy Rider lift that day, I got to see some nice face plants. Well, that's what they looked like from the bottom. I was going to enter, but dragging all my ****e up there for a couple trips down a short run, just didn' t seem worth it. Was fun to watch though. May have been better w/o the rain. I actually thought about hiking some runs there this summer. I wish I had a map of the old trails. Anyone?


B.

[SmashPumpkins]

yeah the trails were deffenitly super nice on sunday, especially lost turkey. everything is just gettin rutted up super nice and packed in. Also for anyone who wants a more indepth description of what we usual keep going for riding at bk here is the link to the thread on pinkbike http://www.pinkbike.com/forum/listcomments/?threadid=30462&pagenum=1#commentid529039

any questions or concerns throw them out, and anyone who wants to join up please get in touch. Our next ride will be Saturday May 3rd, we usually meet around 11 a.m.

[AzToJrse]

are the trails good enough to drive 4 hours to ride them, considering im 2 hours from diablo. i love riding new trails and riding with new people that rip and would consider the drive.

Just good riding i dont know what else to really say about it, bunch of guys just riding to have fun ya know

[SmashPumpkins]

[funkdoobiest]

Not smart enough to figure out how to post decent sized pics... These give you more of an idea what the state park trails look like.

This is lost turkey.

When is the next Blue Knob trip? I had a blast there a few weeks ago. This time I need to rock the whole stair set and The Mountain. Definitely worth the trip!! Let me know.

Bernie

[Tmsracing37]

David,
Trails are great, I do believe there are about six trails being maintain by Jas, Jules, and Ned. The two race coarses on the resort side and there are 4 other trails on the state park side.

Bernie and to anyone else,
This weekend we will be riding Sunday. I think 11 a.m. to dark The stairs are calling your name....Bernie

[04sgsdh]

I'm not sure about this Sunday. I only have, maybe, the morning/early afternoon to get some riding in. My bathroom is warzone due to renovation and I need to get some things done. Next weekend may be clear though, let me know when your are heading up again.
Stairs...stairs.....stairs....no brakes......just roll it....stairs....

[Tmsracing37]

Not sure of what day, but there will be another ride up at BK this weekend

[urbaindk]

Would anybody be up for a weekend campout / ride at BK State Park sometime in September? It would be nice to get a big group up from MD way for a weekend.

Anybody have any dates in mind? Dates that don't work for various reasons?

[Tmsracing37]

The weekend of September 27th, I am getting hitched and weekend after that I'm probably returning from the Honeymoon... Anything before the 27th, is game.

[pirate28]

I'm in for a campout in September!

[urbaindk]

I just booked a week in the middle of Sept for the family at Deep Creek Lake (wisp) to make up for the vacation we had to cancel when my wife's mom died. How about October instead?

[ridiculous]

labor day weekend campout?

[urbaindk]

labor day weekend campout?

That might be doable. What say ye Pirate? Oh wait - isn't that the same weekend as snowshoe #3?

[pirate28]

That might be doable. What say ye Pirate? Oh wait - isn't that the same weekend as snowshoe #3?

Yes... Yes it is... and also my wife's birthday. She was none too happy about that. :poster_oops:

[SmashPumpkins]

the locals are going to be moving back into school and such here pretty soon so most dates are gonna be in the air. any kids from maryland who want to get something going should just get ****ing bent and head on up to blueknob this weekend and we can all discuss it.
