- I finally found and took a ride on the Zombie East Trail.
This video was supposed to be of my trip to Mexico and footage of me riding a Fat Bike on the beach. The beach wasn't what I had expected and I wasn't able to find a Fat Bike to rent near our resort. I didn't what to waste the footage I had gathered so I added it to the beginning of this video. SORRY, I hope you still enjoy it!!
Just off the Rock Hollow Trail with a short, steep climb back up to the ridge line. “Zombie East” is distinguished by epic rock formations scattered along the undulating trail - stout boulders and sharp bluffs that heave into view all around the path. GORC has done an amazing job of incorporating these natural features into the routing; nowhere more so than on a series of hand-built stone switchbacks that mount a ravine midway through this half of the trail.
Other hallmarks of Zombie East: a rock “chute” that you travel through and several dirt berms that mountain bikers in particular enjoy swooping down. No wonder this trail is fast becoming the go-to for local backwoods riders.
*****THANK YOU Echotrace for letting me use some more of your material, this time I chose "Somethings Gotta Give" and "Break Me" for the sound track. Thanks again guys!!!!*****
Tales of strange incidents and ghostly apparitions on “Zombie Road” have existed ever since its creation in the late 1860s. The original dirt and gravel path was carved out of thick trees and brush near Glencoe, Missouri to provide access to the Meramec and the railroad tracks located along the river. One legend says the phantom of an early settler who was struck and killed by a train haunts the dark forest. Another describes a killer who lived in a dilapidated shack by the water and who would attack young lovers who came there looking for privacy.
There’s still a lot of buzz about the old road even today, although now it’s because the surrounding woods are home to one of the region’s premier multi-use trails. Built by Gateway Off-Road Cyclists (GORC) over the past several years, Zombie Trail weaves among the high hills on both sides of the road - now paved and called Rock Hollow Trail - providing a happy playground for hikers, runners, mountain bikers and equestrians.
A few people have asked me about getting "Old Man ~ Fat Bike" stickers. You can purchase a small (3" x 1.44") sticker for $2.50 or the large (4" x 1.91") sticker for $4.00. If you would like to order one or more please visit the the following link;

Once I see the transaction I can contact you via email and get your mailing address and find out exactly which sticker or stickers you want.
Entire video shot with the SJCAM S6 Legend and from time to time the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge is also used!

👌👍
Merci!!
Braaap!
Thanks for your comment!!
who is "Echotrace" and where can I download their music? Good stuff.
Not sure what the status of Echotrace is these days. They gave me about 13 songs or so that they never published and said I could use anything I wanted. I do know that at least a couple of the members of Echotrace moved on and created the band "Divide the Empire". I've also used a few of DTE songs as well in some of my videos. Thanks for asking Buddy372!!
indeed, i wasn’t expecting see that kind of scenery after the intro. and oh - you got some snow out there too! real fatbike weather! ride on!
Yes, I didn't plan that part of my trip to Mexico very well. Correct you are, it showed while I was gone and little bit remained in the shadows. Thanks for watching Andrey and of course your comment!
Hi from Ohio. Beaitiful pics from Mexico. Good to ser you again. Keep on riding and sharing with us. Merry Christmas!
Thank you Lesley, always nice to hear from you! Happy Holidays to you as well!!
Great to see another OMFB video. Hope you had a great time in Mexico.
Thanks for checking it out Mark. We had a blast down south, can't wait to give it another try!!
From me fatbiking Scotland to you fatbiking your area it’s always good to see same approach and that’s just ride. You have some great conditions there atm. Would like some of those trails conditions here. Keep rolling. Great video. Thanks.
Thank you Illya, It's always nice to hear from you! I'll keep rolling as long as you do the same!!
Yeah, but this one video is awesome, I really enjoyed it:-) If you want miles of snow with your fat bike, come here!
So pleased you enjoyed this one Geir B! Thanks for letting me know your thoughts!! Looking forward to someday riding in the snow, thanks for the invite :-)
Great vid as always/ How are you liking those Maxxis Minions? Are they worth the premium price? I've been thinking about pickin some up to replace the stock tires on my Mongoose Malus.
Thank you very much! Compared to the Vee Tires I had on my old bike the Minions are awesome. They work well on and off road. They don't track funky on pavement like the others. I'm sure 120 TPI makes a difference as well. I would say they are well worth the price!!
O.K. thanks for another item in my bucket list of places to ride. Been too wet and muddy here in Ohio for woods roaming but I have been hitting the paved trail where I live. Looking forward to next season. Tip of my hat to your great videos from this old man to you. Merry Christmas and happy Krampusing.
Thanks for your comments Chuck! I do appreciate you taking the time to leave a little something! Happy Holidays to you and yours!!
What kind of mount/setup did you use for your fork and rear chainstay views?
Ahh that my friend is a trade secret! I wish I could tell you but I can't. Just kidding, check out the Company "SmallRig" and look for the "Supports" category. The specific items I use are #2161 and #2066. Thanks for checking out my CZcams channel. Peace...
😆👍
Thanks a bunch 🤗
Hi Mister Old !...nice footage !...I`d liked to know in what area of the planet and the time of the year in your videos.
Thanks for you comment and questions ToBoo!! This video was shot near Eureka, Missouri. It was filmed in December of 2018
hmm, I will have to go to Missouri sometime...I just got my first Fat bike today...but we have sooooo much snow this year
I just love new bike day! Enjoy that brand spanking new Fatty!!!
What are you running for tire pressure in the woods?
Typically 10 - 12 in the back and 8 - 10 in the front @woodknack1.
Respect Old Man!😁 Nice bike🚲👌I am Hunharyan 🇭🇺And I have one Cube Nutrail 2016 😁
Merci, I appreciate your comment! Nice, keep on pedaling that Cude Nutrail!!
