When is a slab just a cliff? We checked out some of the steepest slabs at Natalie on our mountain bikes and were blown away!! Huge thank you to Aaron and his crew for showing us around.
Mountain biking in Pennsylvania just got a whole lot more exciting. If you like tech lines, big slabs, and massive jumps this place has you covered. But make sure you get a tour guide because it is a spaghetti maze of trails, and a lot of the good stuff is not on Trailforks. In fact, out of respect to the builders I did not label any of the trails, but if you want to get an idea for the route we took, I left my Strava activity down below.
While the ride was not big (in-terms of miles), it was filled with punchy climbs and techy rock gardens, which really tested our fitness. If you have an e-bike this would be the prefect network of trails to ride it because it will allow you to session the different lines. Having said that, Dan and I were fine on our analog bikes and had plenty of fun.
There is an Extended Cut of this video which includes a few more trails and slabs, all presented Ad Free on my Patreon. Here’s the link if you want to check that out and help a growing content creator. https://www.patreon.com/posts/114619071
I also created a custom Mountain Bike Pennsylvania T Shirt, so rep the state you ride, and help a channel grow.
