thanks for the info, Looks like a great park, I'll have to check it out next time I'm down that way.

"Best Homegrown Park" Sounds like something Scotty would love. :thumbup:

Blue Mt Pa? Mountain bike on the mountain or Road bikes on the access road( Blue Mountain Drive)? I've got to look back my notes from a trip I did in the area a few years ago. I think we went up/down...

My wife and I hosted a dual club ride today, 63 miles 3400 vert feet. Fantastic ride on mostly country roads, with a few good climbs. Some fast guys showed up so we ended up with our all time fastest...

It looks like the VtoV (vernon to Veron) Century is back for this year, Sept 29th. On our ride today we saw a road side sign about the ride.

The link to register on the V2V...

I never got a chance to do the V2V ride but I heard about it from a friend. He said that they would truck your bike from CT to Vernon then you'd board a bus in the morning, they'd drive you to VT and...

We decided thatwe'd rather not drive 1.5 hours and pay $75-90 for a mediocre century so we stayed home slept late and did a local ride. From Essex CT to Montville the hilliest way possible, then to...

Dr Jeff- I know what you mean. We were looking at the Long Trail Century too since we could stay at our place at Mount Snow but our nephews graduation party the same day won't allow that.

We'll...

My wife and I try to do a century per month and for June we were planning on doing Thread City Century from Chaplin CT this Saturday. Now it's supposed to rain Saturday but Sunday the weather looks...

64 miles yesterday from Colchester to Rocky Neck beach and back.
I drank five 20 oz water bottles and didn't pee once! Wasn't too hot compared to Saturday.

The beach "scenery" isn't as good as...

I felt it too at the end of the ride.:smile:
It was my fastest ride of the year so far. The guys and women too that I ride with Wed nights are really great riders.
On the flat coastal section we...

nice fast bike shop ride yesterday. 29 miles 18.7 MPH average. A good mix of flat roads with a few climbs thrown in.
The best was 5-6 miles along the coast where we stayed at 25-30mph. You had to...

I just got an automated snow alert for Mount Snow too. 13 CM of snow forecast for Sat afternoon and evening. and next week it could be in the 80s.

I agree, the strongest part of a kayak is the side seam so that's usually the best way to store them. Some kayak's decks will sag when stored upright or the bottoms can sag inward if stored upside...

Not if it freezes, that could split it open like a walnut.

Just get a low cost cockpit cover.

Even when I hang them in my garage I use the cockpit covers to keep spiders etc from getting in.

Try a Sheridan pump, works great on squirrels. Just an FYI though you'll never get rid of them. I took out 26 a few years ago and they kept coming. My father in law killed over 50 around his house...

My mother in law has an 80 acre farm in souothern CT. She used to raise sheep but after losing so many to coyotes they've given up.

You'd think that the lambs would be ones killed but it usually...

This is true but if you're going to sell or trade within 7 years be warned about the dismal resale / trade in values of Durangos. Historically it's one of the worse for resale value.
As an example...

My John Deer lawn tractor has 2 cup holders, not sure why there's 2 when there's only one seat. Maybe for big lawns where you need 2 beers to finish it.

No but we've got lots of tall trees. The leaves on our property would pile almost a foot deep over most of the yard. We used to use a walk behind leaf blower to pile them up onto tarps which we would...

Number one for me would be my Cyclone Rake, followed by my Arens snow blower.
For hand tools it'd be my Ingersol Rand Impact wrench, saved me hours when working on rusty cars.

My wife says her...

wow, 139 mph on I-95! This is a rather deserted section on I-95 with a long straight away. ...

And from the title I thought someone bought a new car :-)

I better get riding I'm behind in miles for this time of year.

I don't know can you change conditions of employment after the fact? The courts may not agree. I know several people who work as volunteers at Mount Snow and Haystack. I wonder where they will be...

You'd better not say anything or they may take away your seasons pass :cry:.

I agree this is very bad policy and it borders on illegal. Very bad PR. It definately changes my opinion of the company.
