Photos from Michaux SF Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania State Forests are GREAT places to ride!!!, I've been doing so since 1975. :D

Michaux State Forest (pronounced Me- sho) is in south central Pennsylvania. I grew up on roads like this. I get back here as often as I can/

An excellent informational post from towpro:

It is relatively new to me too. It's the closest PA SF to me in Baltimore. I lived next to Rothrock for a long time, and between that and Bald Eagle I got plenty of forest road riding. :evil

to the folks who posted: Thank you for the kind comments! :wink:
to the folks who didn't post: Thank y'all for not making fun of my photography skills!:rofl
I have a few pictures from last spring that I'll post today. Enjoy.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing

What a nice country!!! Really beautiful places to ride. :tb

Take care,
Beltran

Jax, Great photos!!!! Used to live in Mechanicsburg and would spend many weekends in the Michaux S.F. / Pine Grove Forest area, climbing up the back side of Pole Steeple for great views of the Cumberland Valley. Thanks for bringing back memories!!

Yeh man. That is the shit. down there close to where Michaux ends at Mt Holly Springs. Ridge is the good stuff. I go in right off 16 and come out up at MHS, and generally get lost along the way...Or I'm following someone (code) who gets lost:lol3 wouldn't be the same without it.

Enjoy:

Thanks Tom,
Nah that was a honey do Sunday:) I owed her bigtime. The first set of photos are from last week.

I have to start thinking about the next ride to eat.... Hmmmmmmmmm:D

wow nice, never knew about that park in PA. do you have any gps tracks or recommended routes?

Nice shots Jack.

MSF has one other feature that's almost gotten me in trouble a coupla times. Come hauling butt around a corner on a paved road and have it turn to gravel halfway through. On the FJR with PR2 tires, those are a real bun clencher.

:eek1

Looking forward to the next ride to eat!
