Sunday Shred: Sam Malone XL, Rockover, Prelude, and more – Mt Penn, Reading PA [FTR Series]

Sunday Shred showcasing some of our favorite features at Mt Penn including Sam Malone XL, Rockover, DUI, Rock Bridge and Prelude. Most of these features are rated black and should be ridden with caution if it's your first time. This ride happened on Jan 14, 2024, details below.

Note: Since these features are not labeled, Dan and I came up with our own names to help us navigate around the mountain.

TRAIL DETAIL:
Sam Malone is a big slab located near “Chuck Chutes and Ladders”. There are a few ways to get on it, but Dan and I built a rock skinny around the back, which makes it a little more interesting. At the end of the slab look for a big boulder to your right and that is the XL portion. The exit is tricky so you might want to walk it first.

Rockover can be found on “Stone Hedge”. It looks more intimidating in person, but there is nothing to it. Just charge it with confidence and let the bike do the work. Once you clear it take that trail over to the DUI skinny if you want a good challenge. After checking out the skinny continue down Stone Hedge and you should see Rock Bridge. This feature has a tricky turn that will have you second guessing yourself. But once you get it you will be rewarded with a cool slab ride down.

FTR (Follow The Rider) is a new series focused on mountain biking one or two specific trails. It will be different from my POV videos in that there will be no b-roll or music. The goal is to give viewers a look at a complete run from start to finish.
