Manchester OHV with Chris & Stephanie. I Will MATCH the Next $500 Donation to Their Charity!

SURPRISE! Chris and Stephanie, our faithful Wambaw caretakers, were riding Manchester when I pulled into the lot! They are true enthusiasts, riding wherever they can. More importantly, they are tireless in their trail grooming work. They spend thousands of hours keeping Wambaw rideable. AND, they also work on Enoree and Manchester.

Their charity is within $2500 of its goal of $20,000. The money will 100% go to buying equipment to take care of the trails. GIVE if you can. Even $5 helps. I will match the first person who gives $500! https://gofund.me/c530f41e


As always, an incredible workout on all three trails. The YZ Woods Beast suspension is set up a bit softer than last time I rode.

Manchester OHV is located in South Carolina's Manchester State Forest near Santee. All OHV trails are marked with directional arrows. OHV riders must wear a helmet, and bikes must be equipped with a spark arrester; riding motorcycles or ATVs on roads is unlawful.

VIDEO INFORMATION
** Gauges added by using GARMIN VIRB Edit software, a free video editor from Garmin that works with any video, any GPS that can provide FIT files, and any heart rate monitor **

I record these videos to enable me to visualize the ride. Visualization is an excellent tool to train your body when you can't actually perform a physical event. Used as a training tool by Olympic and professional athletes for decades, watching an activity can be a tremendous enhancement to actual practice.

If you can't make it out to the Trail in person, watch these videos to prime your brain for your next ride. Watch it before you go and you just might be amazed by how much faster you ride. Enjoy! :-)
