  | Good beginner places to ride in Northwest CT This forum is getting me amped to try and get back out on my bike. I used ride in an area in Avon, CT several years ago. There was a ton of singletrack up there, but I forget where it was/what it was called. Anyone know of any good places to ride in Northwest CT? I would need some easy singletrack to get back into it... |

 | Greg- check out www.bikerag.com Look under trail reviews, and then click on the connecticut section (duh). There's a lot. Also make friends with the guys at your local bike shop. Most of them will let you in on their favorite spots. Plus if you don't do all your own maintenance, it can be nice to have a friend in a shop. Most will offer advice to you on how to fix stuff if you want to go in that direction.

| There are 3 main sources other than the ones listed above that I would recommend: 1. Bustedspoke.com - same deal as bikerag but maybe some different stuff. You can try the forums there too. 2. The Mtbr forums are a pretty good source too - lots of knowledgable riders there. I think they got rid of trail reviews but I was never a huge fan of their trail reviews anyway. 3. You can and should consider joining your local NEMBA chapter.

| Greg, I was just at the West Hartford Reservior on Sunday, there's lots of trails to ride there too. Its not quite in the NW corner, but not too far away either. Also check out crankfire.com, they seem to have a decent number of trail reviews, with maps of some of the routes. The guy is doing some neat stuff with the Google maps API... |
