MTB: Nepaug State Forest, CT - 6/15/08

**Greg** · Jun 9, 2008, 1:30 PM

I'm down for something this Sunday morning, but I would like to go early as possible being Father's Day. I'm thinking 7 am somewhere and a 2-2.5 hour ride. Anyone interested?

As of right now I would be able to do Sunday morning.

I should be able to make that. Any thoughts on where you want to ride?

If Steve comes along he could lead a ride at Case mtn in Manchester. Another decent ride is the West Hartford Res.

West Hartford sounds better to me (closer). Manchester is probably an hour drive.

I am game for anything. I used to ride W Hartford all the time, but it has easily been 6 plus years since I have been there. If I had to lead the ride I might be able to fake my way through. Hopefully Steve can make it, and knows the trails there.

If Steve cannot make it (or anyone else that knows CT trails) we could ride up by me, but that would be an hour drive for you

Yeah, I'd like to keep it within 30-40 minutes if possible. There's also Nepaug or People's State Forest up near Sundown. That might be more centrally located for you and the guys like me in west-central CT.

I'm in the same boat as Mr evil and that is has been quite a few years since I did anything other than the fire roads at the res.

I am game for pretty much anywhere. Btw Tim, were in MA are you?

I am in Westfield, a few miles north of the Suffield/CT line.

Greg,
I don't mind riding anywhere as long as we have someone with us that know the trails. I only mentioned my neck of the woods as a backup incase we don't have a trail guide familiar with CT trails. Hopefully Steve can ride and it won't be an issue.

I would even do meriden again...its a good short ride for building up your wind/endurance, but like I said before Im down for anything as long as there is a water ramp
