Welcome to the Singletracks forum LutherPalmedder. Not used to seeing ‘frozen’ and "Florida" in the same sentence unless its advertising orange juice hehehe. Looks like you have already hooked in with some of our Florida riders. "Watchin this old school overweight old cracker flyin through the palmeders" conjurs up a well, humorous image in my head. 😆 Hey, needed a Monday laugh. 😆 Again, welcome aboard.

hey CHILI,
just got in off the tundra,,you pegged them temps..suposed to be in the 20’s tonight…that group ride /camp thing sounds good ,keep us imformed.
my missus rides,and i have 2 teenage daughters,but niether ride …yet.
yeah i need to get up with GALAXY and hit some local stuff..been wondering about haile trails and how you ride them?
that old heat does get a little tiring sometimes..but man do i love florida…my family settled here along the same time as yours….we’ll have to discuss this in more detail later..cant say im with you on the snow thing…i lived up in wv for awhile and was stationed in the north atlantic area in the coast guard for awhile…i couldnt wait to see them palm trees,watch that spanish moss swayin in the .live oaks and see that ol sun droppin over the gulf……..smell those shrimp boilin,see them purdy tan girls barely dressed,sip them ice cold budwizers……..sheewwheeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I do love me some flawda -
Welcome to the forum LutherPalmedder, further refered to as LP…..
Glad you found a forum that makes you feel at home. Though I’m not from FL we are all Mountain Bikers and enjoy much of the same thing. Glad you are getting a taste of the weather we ride normally ride in this time of year. It’s all good. If you ever get up WV way for some extremely technical riding drop us a line. If available we’d be glad to show you around any of the trails we ride. Again, welcome to the forums.Life is short….. Get out and ride….

I may have seen you on the trails Saturday,A buddy and I made it out there from about 2 to 5 and it wasn’t bad to start but once that sun started going down it got cold.
Is the Hammock on the other side of the road from where the KOA used to be? It’s been so long since I’ve been out that way I’m starting to forget things…yes I’m blaming it on time,haha.

PM me if you are heading through "The Rock" on your way up to Wild and Wonderful WV. I can probably find some rhododendrum for a LP test flight hehe 😮 , maybe some right behind the house in the Jeff. Nat. Forest that I have already broken in for you. Was married to a gal whose family lived in Caldwell, WV for a stint. 22 years congrats, you are well ahead of the curve. Time a WV trip right and you can join me and/or Outdoornut at Slatyfork near Marlinton. Good summer time riding there, temps rarely get much above 80. Course theres rain, rocks, mud, roots and moss – but its a lot of fun.
Spds in my feet. New version of the one leg shorter than the other hillbilly joke? Started riding late so I wasn’t born with them in my feet, but I did notice some spurs starting to sprout there. MTB Evolution or species adaptation, hehehe who knows.
You’re in the right place this time of year. Nothing but snow, ice, wind and cold for the last month here. Think I might be a snowbird in training.

yeah man a ride in jefferson nf sounds good ..also LUV the big mon and gw nf….gods country my friend…i know marlinton too. we used to go to watoga and snowshoe all the time…small world aint it?
sorry bout the hillbilly joke ,but i knew my wife would appreciate it…she gets the one leg shorter one all the time…i think she fails to see the humor in it though 😆
that snowbird thing would be nice.and weve considered a cabin in pocahontas co. before ,but the whole independantly wealthy thing still eludes us……..

Thursday at The Rock may be good,if it actually makes it to 60 or 58 or whatever they’re callin for I can handle that.What time would you want to go? I can take my bike to work and just head out there whenever in the afternoon.The rock is about 5 miles away from my house if you have any interest in checking out that skinny in the yard afterwards or before.

Luther man,I’m very sorry I couldn’t make it out.We had a rush for some parts today so I had to stay and finish.Next time we’ll have to exchange numbers so I can call you if I’m not gonna make it.
Did you get to go ride at least? I’m hatin it that I couldn’t go on the one warm day we’ve had in almost a week…I almost stopped at the 8th Ave, trails on my way by on the way home but was running out of light.
Once again,I apologize for not getting my ass out there and riding with you,we’ll have to try again next week or whenever.

hey odn ,sorry it took me awhile to respond to your post .i get limited time on our 1 computer,but how cool is it that another west virginian was one of the first to people say hello…what part of the state are you in ? like i told ccr i married a girl from lewisburg. my dad was from logan co.i lived w? my uncle i greenbrier co. for 5 yrs as a teenager..so i know a litle about your weather…
i also know what an unbelievable place to ride you have.i learned to ride everything on two wheels in wv …and havnt been challenged as hard since 😀 i.ll be up there in the spring and hopefully we can get out and ride my friend …………………..lp -
When we actually DO go,I can show you how to get to the powerlines,should be nice and spider free this time of year as well.
-
No,not scared….I just hate having to wipe webs out of my face the whole way down the trail,haha.I always seem to be the first one down the trail so I get to clear out the webs,I shoulda made my name on here SpiderFace,haha.
Only once so far have the spiders taken me off my bike and it was at the powerlines,right down the hill from where my avatar picture was taken.I hit that line as fast as I could without checking anything and I believe I hit about 5 golden silk orb weavers in less that 100 feet and I basically had my head wrapped in web and freaked out.I jumped off the bike and in what seemed to be the same motion ripped the fullface off and tossed it,haha.It took a few minutes to get all that web off but after that,I’m a bit more cautious.
Speaking of frozen North Florida,it’s supposed to be 19 here Sunday night,just a couple degrees off from Boston,haha.
I think I’m more scared of the cold than spiders,haha.

Thats some funny stuff there Galaxy. I don’t like spider webs on the face either (or especially, spiders on the face) 😆 Sometimes being second down the trail is good 😀 – unless the first rider ran over a yellow jackets nest. 😮

Chili,I’ll definitely show you around wherever you want to go,I’ve almost made it to the end of the San Felasco network,haha
We could hit the Rock,and I can possibly scout out the Esterbrook Trails and see if the bridges are still up and rideable.
-

I need to hit up the ones in town a bit more often too,Esterbrook,Little San Felasco and just some general riding around town.
We should all hook up whenever you head up this way Chili!

-
Im ready,, can be there in an hour or so…
-
Don’t go to SF,we’re headin to the Rock instead and savin SF for Sunday.
