are the trails easy to find from Chamounix Equestrian Center where you park? I went to check the trails out today and parked at Belmount Plateau and it was very hard to find the trail head. I should've researched a bit better before going...kind of a last minute decision after work. but I would like to try again.
@@dirtmaggert yes there are two trolley trail trail heads located right there by Chamounix at the roundabout in front of the hostel located here: goo.gl/maps/fJ87RVsLLwknpyAX6
I'm pretty local to this trail and I've been getting into riding recently around the valley forge trails, and have ridden the wissahickon valley trails as well. Didn't know that these were here so I guess I'm going to be checking them out in the spring! Thanks for sharing
Jeez dude, you were really flying through some of those trails. I envisioned myself wiping our multiple times watching you take some of those curves. Good shit man.
Sick video bro. I went there for the first time this past winter. Def not as fast as you. But your video makes me want to go back and turn the burners on. Trolley trail is legit
Loogat all that flow! Makin me wanna ride over there right now! It's been a while since I hit the Pumptrack connector, that's a lot of fun. See you out there
Who knew, I'm not only from Philly but Wynnefield, exactly where you are riding. I was running to be the state rep for that area when Arlen completed that pump track. I used go to Valley Green to MTB. Please don't tell me that was in my backyard the whole time...
Ok I won't tell you that 😂😂. Although the flowier stuff was built more recently so it wouldn't have been the same back then. Much techier with lots of log overs
I'd recommend parking by the stables which also happens to be at the top of the first trail in the video. You can find it here Chamounix Equestrian Center (215) 877-4419 maps.app.goo.gl/rEYc8RaWifoRjZi3A
This is where I cut my teeth many moons ago. It has changed so much. Not gonna lie, love the new stuff but I miss the huge logovers and techy tight turns. Great edit Sam.
Thanks Sage! Yeah I was a tad conflicted when they first built the new trolley trail a few years ago, but I think they've struck a good balance in preserving the "classic" Belmont along with the creation of the new stuff stuff that aligns with the multi-user/multi-skill goals PPR has for the system. I will say that the most recent trail they cut from Belmont Ave had me scratching my head a bit as I didn't see the need to replace what was there
Definitely a fun ride and sticking to the loop I did ( you can follow my strava linked in the description) it should be with a beginners skill level. Even if you explore the more technical trails, the difficulty is more about all of the log overs so worst case you're dismounting, but you won't come across sections where you'd get hurt, etc for to difficulty
Most of what I rode in this video are great for beginners (albeit at slower speeds). Belmont is better than the wiss for beginners as there is much less elevation and technical riding (and less hikers), although a beginner can have a great time in the wiss, but will probably walking up and down some stuff. I've also heard pennypack park as a great beginner trail system in northeast philly, though I haven't ridden it myself.
If you were ever thinking about getting out to check Belmont out, now is the time. Spring is definitely the best Belmont season IMO
Looks like a blast - where do you park for the trailhead?

The trolley trail at Belmont is a great next step if you're liking the Valley Forge trails!

Lol thanks! To be fair these are my local trails so I know pretty much every root and rock in the whole place

My sentiments exactly! I have to get faster too!
@@elogan2412 it’s def not as easy to go fast there as he makes it look in this video 😂🤣
@@Musicandbikes848 agreed. I’ll be there Sunday to ride the trolley line over and over bro
@@elogan2412 ah man that sounds very tempting. I could ride that trail all damn day
Thanks for the info!
Nice Trolly Trail Run Brother 💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks Derrick!
Just found your channel - great resource for SEPA bikers!

Don't I owe you a tour over there, Marc? Let's make it happen!

It’s been there for years.
I’ve been riding there for the past decade.
So cool. Thanks for your videos!
After watching you, I def gotta get faster! Tight turns!
Curious to know where's the best place to park and the location of the beginning of the trail that you went into?
Thanks!

@@PhillyMTB Agreed! Really enjoying your content brotha, keep it up.
What is the name of the trail, and where is the trailhead ?
If you look at the description it has all of the info you need.
love it.
Bro so smooth
Place looks amazing! Not sure if it's the GoPro effect, but looks ok for people starting out that want a fun ride?

Can you help a 59yr with a beginner trail in Philadelphia
