Took my Roam 2 Disc to Pocahontas State park up in Virginia this last weekend & enjoyed a lot of fantastic MB & forest road trails. The latter were graded gravel & hardpack...super fast & fun rolling hill terrain thru gorgeous fall colors! Needless to say, the Roam was fantastic for this type of riding.

AND it was surprisingly competent on the MB trails we tackled! Even did a difficult "black diamond" trail w/ a couple of stream crossings and several gnarly, root/rut filled uphill sections. Of course it's not a real mountain bike, and "proper" off road tires would have been WAY better....but wow, the long, twisty fast downhill runs on the moderate-difficulty level were a blast! VERY handy to have those "useless" forks up front!

The GF did very well keeping up on her Specialized Fatboy (she also has a Crosstrail Disc) and we pretty much had the entire park to ourselves after some rain Saturday night scared everybody off. I absolutely recommend this place if you are nearby & want to push the dirt side of our hybrids.
