  Welcome!
  
  Very little riding in Savannah. Very cool town tho.
  
  Here in Augusta we’ve got 150ish miles of singletrack, including 1 IMBA Epic. I did a Top 5 Trails post for the CSRA, check it out HERE. You can also look up trails here on Singletracks, and visit our local club, SORBA-CSRA, website HERE.

  If I lived in Savannah I would pick up a "beach cruiser" to ride the beeches and prevent salt from getting on the mt. bike. Also it is about 3 hours away from the Augusta area and I have spoken to many riders that drive from that area to ride here in the CSRA.

  Nice. that is pretty cool. what got you into it? howd you get to GA? if you dont mind me asking. seems like everybody is either born here or they have a crazy story of how they ended up here. haha.

  I was born and raised in Savannah. Did a lot of BMX and freestyle and skateboarding. Now live in Denver. As for mtn biking…ummmm nothing there. Pick up a road bike and enjoy the flatness that is southern GA.
  
  Enjoy it man, it’s a gorgeous place.
