Besides weekly road rides in Prospect Park I ride mostly Diablo Freeride Park and Plattekill when the lifts are open.

Oh cool. Ridiculous said he moved here too. I ride Patasaco and the Watershed too but I heard the park rangers are now issuing citations for anyone riding single track at the watershed over a law that was passed about 17 years ago that they just starting to enforce. Fire trail only. Did you hear about that?
I rode Patapsco a few times when I visited my grandparents in Arbutus, cool spot.
nelsonjm moved into the area too. And mattmatt86 and stumpjump are locals/ridemonkey regulars as well. We should have a Maryland Monkeyfest.
What happened up at the Watershed was the Sunday DH rides that started drawing up to 40
people during the summer. I'm all about progressing the sport, but it was getting crazy.solution: ride during the week. or during the offseason. myself and the other regulars (guys who build as well as ride up there) haven't had any trouble with rangers; just anecdotal stories heard through the grapevine...
Also, just FYI, the Frederick bicycle coalition is working really hard to keep access up there open. They do mostly work with the township, but there are some people who have our interests in mind as well. If you like riding the Shed, add them on facebook and get active with their petitions. Its the local government that makes the choices that affect us, and luckily, up to this point Frederick has been really pro-bicycle. But if the traffic continues to exponentially increase up there, that could change.
Wow, a lot of people from all over! It's very interesting where people come from and where they ride.
I hear NC is nice riding in the summer too.
I've heard about Diablo. I have a buddy who's been there and we going to go this summer. Not sure if it's any good but we're going. Good luck on number 2!
I envy you. I hear Sweden is not only beautiful, but the women are too. I've only seen pictures but it looks like a beautiful place to live. Would love to see it, or ride it, some day.
Yeh but from what I've seen, what a place to ride! I'd love to ride Cali, Oregon, VT, Colorado and Utah. I've skied CO and UT, but would love to ride there. I hear that New England is really nice too. But trips cost dough, and I don't have anyone that is as enthusiastic about riding as I am to go about flying to some of these places with me to ride, let alone cost to ship a bike, so I can't go.
WOW! You've been around a lot! Which do you like best? Bet it's VT or CA.
It would think it's warmer down in NC than it is up here. It's 34 degrees now and too cold but if it gets over 43 or so I ride.I'm from central NC... Since its winter i've been riding my road bike in my room on the trainer..

It seems most of you people live in places that are beautiful, but where I ride, I don't have to worry about being attacked by bears, mountain lions, cougars, rattle snakes etc. What do people out west or in areas like this do when you ride to prevent winding part of the food chain?
