OCing Mt. Biker at Laurel Highland Trails

**Mtbkski** · September 8th, 2009, 07:15 AM

Was out with a group of friends for a big Mt. Bike ride in Forbes Forest at Laurel Highlands trail network. At the end of the day, as we were sitting around eating after a good days ride, a guy rides by, a stainless semi in a pancake holster on his right rear hip.

First time I ever saw anyone OCing and it was a guy on a Mt. Bike.

I smiled as he rode past and hoped he would have a good day riding, as I sat there with my pistol under my shirt on my hip. Guess I'm not the only one that carries while Mt. Biking.

My wife and I rode our Motorcycles to IUP this weekend (visit our daughter there) I saw another motorcyclist OC'ing there. I felt the same way, maybe we're starting to get some where.

I ride with a g27 in my Camelback. I crash too often to have it on the hip. The Wissahickon still attracts too many dirtbags and packs of altered youths.

We didn't get down there until 5:30, and then I saw several signs, I live about 2 hrs to the north and didn't know about it until I got down there.

Some 12 or 13 years ago I used to ride my bike on the trail from Rockwood down to the other side of the tunnel. Back then the tunnel was closed and you had to ride a little walking path around it.

Anyway, I always carried my Colt Trooper .357 in a holster on my belt. There was always crazy looking teenagers and transient looking people on that trail.

One day I saw a guy with an old beat up Peewee type bicycle laying on one of the rest benches with a big pile of beer cans and two empty cardboard beer cases on the ground around him. LOL
