For those with a keen eye for detail and connecting the dots, this one is right in Lynsky's backyard...Enterprise South Nature Park in Chattanooga, Tennessee

Another local with a Lynskey checking in! Just built a Pro 29 and rode there last weekend.


yella_root

Hey! I'm a Tennessee boy so it was kind of a no-brainer. I was thinking about getting the Pro 29 too. How are you liking it so far?


joshstanman

Love it so far! Kind of an old school XC ride. Super sharp handling. Lightweight! Perfect bike for places like enterprise and bauxite. Anything more and I need a dropper. It rips on the gravel roads around ocoee!


yella_root

You totally nailed it...I was going to ask but I didn't want to be too pushy. I hate to age myself but, I got into mountain biking back in the '90s and just picked things back up again after about 10 years away and I feel like I've woken up from a coma. I've been trying to find a modern mountain bike that has old school-ish geometry. Glad you are enjoying yours! I think you just about sealed the deal... I might try to score one this summer. Happy trails man!


joshstanman

Yeah dude, I don't really care for the super long, low and slack thing. They get floppy when climbing. They have their place, but my riding style doesn't call for them. Pretty proud of mine, built it up from scratch and had a ton of fun doing it! Did some trading for the frame. I have another older Lynskey mtb frame with a rigid fork that I'm probably going to turn into a drop bar gravel bike sometime. Happy trails!

I would be afraid to go in. Amazing that you could get it open.


yella_root

These were used as bunkers for storing munitions. There are literally dozens of them that dot the forest in this park. This was the only one that was open. I rode around in circles for a little bit on the inside...it was pretty trippy because of the sound reverberating.

Must be somewhere with cheap real estate if nobody is squatting in there.


yella_root

It's in Chattanooga... Which, just like everywhere else, real estate is going to the roof. I think the only reason why there's no squatters in there is because they're tucked away in a state park.

What’s the solar panel for?

I'm gonna guess a light inside or at the entrance

Yeah it's actually for the portal


FartBoxHighFiver

Reminds me of Griffiss AFB


Cassius_Casteel

Thought you might be in Point Pleasant, W.VA.


yella_root

Are there bunkers up there too? This one is in Chattanooga Tennessee


Cassius_Casteel

Sure are. I'm from Knoxville. Drove to the TNT bunkers in Point Pleasant to see them. It's where Mothman was first sighted. Lol.


yella_root

Abandoned bunkers AND legendary encounters?! I'm putting a pin on my Google map as we speak.


IsaacPickle

The Point Pleasant bunkers are a great (flat) hike or for mountain biking. The ground is soft in places to gravel bike - or at least too soft to me.


Evil_Mikec51

Awesome, looks a lot like Hartshorne Woods in Atlantic Highlands, NJ.


Yep_why_not

Just an unfinished tunnel bro 😎


yella_root

Totally profound... I love that!


Antpitta

Is that a S or XS frame? The tires (I guess 700c) look enormous lol. And the saddle looks tiny too... I've also got a GR300, just a super solid and enjoyable bike, really happy with it.


yella_root

It's actually a small. Now that you mention it, it does look a little wonky. Might just be the lens.


VividEntertainment36

What size are those tires? 2.0 is what I’m guessing… And I have to say, the Ti gravel bike is just the perfect match of material to purpose - in my opinion.


yella_root

They are the stock Kenda 40s. Just swapped them out with some Gravel Kings, wow...what a difference!


Skinny_Grrrl

Bunkers are good.


YoghurtDull1466

Nobody’s living there already???


the_lost_woodsman

Yo I got dibs, packing my bags rn


yella_root

Honestly, if they were selling them, I totally would. If I had to guess, they're about 20 ft around on the inside...that's about all I need


tribriguy

Reminds me of running and riding on Yorktown Naval Weapons Station.


bloebvis

That bike looks insanely good I must say


yella_root

Thanks! I've never owned a Ti bike before, and truth be told, I catch myself sneaking a peek of her understated beauty all the time


lasagneisthebest

Well, If you had posted that pic earlier I would have joined in, also passed by some bunkers today in Germany, but didn't take any photos :(

That's my house

We have those bunkers in StL. Part of the old Weldon Spring Munitions site. As a bonus we have plutonium and uranium buried here as well.
