We made it back to marker ‘219’ very quickly (the spot I made the wrong turn) and headed in the right direction. Turns out the parking area was only about 5 minutes away
The way I read this:
Randi is amazing
You are a dufuss!


I like how animated, you made the TR Sound.

HAHA I like you Trekchick, you're all right in my book xD

BTW- thanks for heading over and taking shots of that yard. We only half 1/2 an acre though, so I don't know how much we can do. I think Timmy's planning on building some mobile obstacles. He's got a couple of platforms in the basement, but decided that golf > MTB course so I guess it is up to me to do the rest. Tee hee... *busts out the elbow grease*

Sounds like you need to get his priorities straightened out.

The small teeter totter is easy to do and fun, just balance it so it naturally flops back down for approach.
I can see Tim coming home to find you in the yard playing on your new toys!!

Hmm, I have my ideas of fun...they tend to contradict his ideas of fun though... Well, we'll see how the day goes. Leg's not feeling so bad right now and the woods are calling to me. Shame you girls didn't live closer, would be nice to have someone to call for the last minute bike ride adventure...

We visited Bachelor ST. and Earl's Trail on the Holyoke range 2 weeks ago... Trails there are amazing! We had so much fun on Rollercoaster, Serpentine and Twister! It was one of our favorite trail system in all 2 weeks on the road that had a bunch of the "big names" of singletrack on the East Coast like FOMBA, Trail of Tears, Arcadia and Blue Mountain Reservation to name just a few...

Trail of Tears was amazing also!

Anyhow, Mass has a lot of great riding areas!

Rollercoaster & Twisters are also my favs at B Street. I need to get back and ride Serpentine when its dry. That trail looks like it could be lots of fun.

Trail of Tears is a fun place. I was there a few times last month. Lots of smooth flowing singletrack.
