Where are you in Alabama? As I guess you've already discovered, there's not
much of a culture of technical riding around here. Oak Mt is a race track (a
very fun one, but not exactly tricky).

The steepest stuff I've found in the greater B'ham area are some the side loops
and spurs off the dirt bike trails behind the stadium in Hoover - they connect
all the way back to Helena. Most of what's back there you could clean in a
Buick, but there are a couple of very steep drop/roll-offs to be found if
you're willing to poke around for a while.

Cheers,

Check out Sorba.org. they have been very busy lately adding on to some
already amazing existing trails, as well as some new runs. I've had the
opportunity to ride a few of them, but no where near all of them. Pay heed
to the trail closures due to hunting season. I'd recommend Bull mountain
for some pretty good technical riding. But there are tons of others...

I'm from Helena. Do you know where in Helena the motorcycle tracks connect?
I've been to the Hoover track but not with a bike.

I'll add it to my list. Many thanks.

You can connect up by taking Elvira Rd (off Morgan Rd). Where Elvira hits the
train tracks, you're in.

I'm sure there are other points where it connects with roads, but I don't know
what they're called since I always ride in from the end of Stadium Trace in
Trace Crossings.

Do you ever ride the Cahaba River Wildlife Management Area? Is there any
singletrack in there?

Thanks. I've never ridden there. The only place i've really ridden is oak
mountain on their trails and BMX tracks.
