Started making this earlier in the summer and it is coming along nicely. I have a few more sections that I am cutting in that will eliminate all of the "main trail" use. Should be able to almost double the lap time by the end of the year. The nice part about this is I ride right out of my back door, so it is as convenient as it gets.
Cameras flatten out the hills, but I promise you it is steep in sections. The final hill makes for a lot of belly aching lol. It has been dry for about a week which REALLY helps traction, it becomes quite the challenge after a rain storm (has been wet all year). I have a massive hill to add in soon, just trying to make a line where it is possible to complete the hill more than 1/3rd of the time
I usually do not like riding by myself, but the weather was spot on today....and there is rain in the forecast. I carried my phone on me just in case lol. Sorry that I have the original GoPro...but I rarely ever film riding sessions.
Hope you guys enjoy it as much as I do

PA is awesome riding. A good friend of mine lives in Pittsburgh and I've been out there a dozen times to go riding. The hills aren't anything like what we have in the upper midwest.
If there is one downfall of helmet cams...its that they don't show elevation change...its impossible to do inclines and declines justice on helmet cam.
I didn't know what a real hill looked like until riding there. Have been to Finleyville, Wellsville, Hillsdale and I believe Greensburg. Wished there was riding even remotely like it in Michigan.
The new 300 KTM's are quite an advantage in the woods, I am fairly certain they are half tractor.
