Mountain Biking Percy Warner Park - Nashville Tennessee 

Still happens to me too, like, a lot!

This one isn't officially open yet. For a top spot with decent jumps in Nashville area, I think Cedar Hill in Madison is the best choice. A smaller park with several jump line options is Wilkins Branch in Franklin TN.

@@PedalingDave word! I might be in town the weekend of April 22, would be cool to have someone play tour guide for me if you want to ride on the 23rd?

Apologies Bobo, I mistakenly thought you were commenting on another video. Percy is definitely OPEN and a pretty good trail system...that said, my recommendations for Cedar and Wilkins stand at my top pics, especially Cedar Hill. But yeah, I can definitely give you the tour.

@@PedalingDave sweet! I'll hit you up on instagram with details if I end up making the trip! thanks Dave!

Anytime 👍

That's pretty cool man and I envy you. A trail with so many ride options like that close by would be nice.

Same, but I live about 15 miles away

Hey man where do the trail take you like when you start where do you end up when you finish

@@v1p3ex88 They start at the parking lot by the golf course, or the entrance by deep wells. There is the boulevard trail that connects the two lots. You will see some trails off the boulevard.

@@bencarpenter5639 ok thank you so much

Its def sits high on the list of really good trails within 2 hours of home.

@@PedalingDave Good to have places like that, close to home!

I think so to! Cheers 🍻

@@PedalingDave we got a lot of rocks but steep an at the ski resorts they do trail maintenance but I'm a cheap ass an I like pedaling up hills dont need to take the chair lift or pay for that. Ol school

I can understand that. I used to feel that way but now? If there is a lift or shuttle, count me in!! It's rare for me to get to shuttle so I still have to earn my turns, lol.

@@PedalingDave I'm planning on bribing a bicycle shop worker to give me ride this Saturday to do a incline village ride in Tahoe called the tyrolean its supposed to be bad ass downhill I be making a video of course 😀their shuttle service told me they wont take single rider to this location but... $$$an beer to one of the workers I think will work .

It's a really nice park for sure!

Very much appreciate the complement! Love both...maybe a little biased toward Hope myself, but only a by a little.

Oh, it was man! Primo shape!

Thanks man!

I also go to Lock 4 more often.

I dont know that there is a real answer to this one. Percy and Cedar Hill are often crowded. L4 can be confusing but riding with someone who knows it or an app like trail forks can really help out. Sucks looking at a phone during a ride but can really help get the logistics sorted. Other than that, week days are generally less busy if you have the time. I just accept I have to travel and crowds don't bother me much.

@@PedalingDave Thanks! I'll check out trail forks in the morning. I try to get to trails by 8 or before for this reason. Cedar Hill is usually a ghost town during that time. Or if it is really hot, I'll go mid-day (just more water) and all is well. I may go back to Warrior Trail since its unkept and no one goes. Maybe I could make signs for Lock 4 with the aid of an app. The trail you went to recently that was still under construction looked promising. I'm still green, but I'm not opposed to blue trails. We'll see how this goes. How is winter riding?

Winter is a gamble. When frozen all is a go. Thaw? Dont bother leaving the house, lol!

Pedaling Dave Excellent to know. I appreciate you helping me out. Every question I’ve had, you’ve answered with great advice every time.

Thanks man. I try.

Thanks David! And Lock 4 is a good home trail to have! Cheers🍻

I dont think it has a specific opening time. I am pretty sure it is open from sunrise to sunset as long as rain/mud isn't a factor.

It's possible. You'll just have to contact me closer to that time.

Flats for me. I use clips on my road bike. If I were racing XC or riding a hardtail, I would likely go back to clips on those, but flats on the FS.

Pedaling Dave alright sweet! I started off riding flats and clipless really helped increase my efficiency...especially once I moved to a full suspension.

Yeah, I agree that clips are probably more efficient. I'm all about the fun factor so, for me personally, flats are a better fit.

Hopefully this wet weather will soon change, and yeah, we need to vid a ride somewhere!

There are some additions coming to a local trail down there, but it will still be quite a while untill that's open. Percy Warner park has a couple lines but last I was there they weren't in the best shape. There just isn't enough elevation for long flow and jump lines like in east TN.

Jumps - Cedar Hill, Chickasaw Trace, & Wilkins Branch(when it opens). Tech - Barfield & Hamilton Creek.

It's possible. Try looking my page up on facebook and let me know closer to time!

@@PedalingDave well im not traveling for work. However I am only about 3 hours from nashville, so if you want to plan a groupbride several of us can come up and shred some. Let me know. 706. 2five five. 8 o two 1. Thanks

Its not my place to say one way or another. That's why it is a secret, eh?

Adam Bruner this dude’s narration really makes it for me

Thanks Alex! I did take Adams comment into serious consideration. I'm often going to talk in some videos while riding and that wont change. That said, I did notice that when very winded, I sometimes speak in incomplete sentences and don't always complete a thought. I still may have to pause speaking just to breath, but I do want to try and make sure I complete my statements! Thanks guys for all the feedback!!

i disagree i enjoy his content more because of the narration.
