Biking

[jhprejean]

Lol.. Here we go!

 

[AustinBR]

Been a half dozen times and never seen a sign, and no one's stated the rules to me. I'll continue to carry until one of those magical signs falls in my lap or someone tells me not to.

There is definitely one sign..possibly two. Lets go back on the topic of biking though. Anyone tried the beast in st francisville!

 

[jhprejean]

The beast sucks!!!!! It's so hard to ride.

My favorite ride is Mt. Zion.

not trying to start a "screw the signs" hijack. On the topic of biking/hiking/outdoors stuff im -always- armed, because im 100x more likely to encounter a snake/animal/etc.

regards to st. francisville:
No, I haven't tried. I still have the bike but haven't ridden in years. I got aggressive (addicted?) to weight lifting and now my major cardio achievement is an 8-ish minute mile. I'd bet I couldn't ride for a half hour. lol.

This thread has me about ready to wash the bike and pick up an old hobby... I could see myself getting back into it.

I won't disagree with you. I doubt anyone would say anything to you as long as you aren't acting like an idiot or are somewhere in the "brandishing" category.

Biking really isn't that hard if you keep a decent pace. It is a great cardio workout in addition to working your legs and surprisingly, your arms (holding on to the bike).

If you are not familiar with the trails, come ride with us a few times and we can show you around. A lot of people get confused their first time out there.

Also, you should really get back into it. It is fun, affordable, and a great workout.

3:00 Sunday at the comite trails. Pm me or respond here if interested in a meet up. Casual pace aimed at recovering from lsu tomorrow night

 

[jhprejean]

I should be there.

 

[RedStickChick]

Wish I could make it but I have to go pick up my new car.

Y'all have fun.

I see alot of people are from the BR area but if you ever get a chance you should check out the trail at Bogue Chitto State park in Franklinton. Bike trails 5 miles,pretty well groomed and has some nice downhills. If your alittle braver they have around 20 miles of horse trails that are doable if its not your first time. Keep in mind the bike trail is packed lime stone and horse trails are just grassy/ hard packed dirt.

I really need to get back into biking. I am way too out of shape for off-road riding. Or much road riding. I have not been there in a few years, but if any of you are in the Ruston area, Lincoln Parish Park has a great trail, used to be about a 10 mile loop around the park.

Well, I opted to catch a stomach bug this weekend and not go biking. Looks like I won't be working out for a few days either. FML!

 

[GLOCKCRAZZ]

Just saw this topic.
I go out there on the group rides.
Ride about once a week. Looks like the rain is going to mess this week up.

I might go up this weekend. Not sure yet. Haven't gone for a couple of weeks due to lsu football and weather

 

[AustinBR]

It is nearing beautiful Saturday biking days after LSU football is over. Who's pumped?!

What trail are you talking about? Link? Are you part owner or what?

I might check this one out. Sounds like fun.

Probably talking about the Bonnet Carres Spillway trail, near LaPlace. Managed by NOMAMBO, I believe. Cool to check out, but not nearly as fun as Comite/Hooper.

Yup, here it is:
