    Mass 8/5

    Nass 8/5 Decided to try to hit all the new stuff at the soccer fields. This is the area of Nass I have most neglected, so I never really knew it that well. I think I hit most everything. I don't know all the names but here goes. Started with the Big Dipper then took the ST directly across from...

    Ragged Mountain, CT Hippy 8/5

    Rolled out with Mhtfd and Scrublover for a hippy ride at Ragged Mountain on Thursday. Despite the rain that morning things were in good shape. The singletrack at Ragged drains like a dream: the doubletrack in the lower areas, if you have to ride it, is always washed out anyway. Only problem is...

    WH Res 4/29

    Severine and I hit the Rez today. Theoretically I was supposed to show her some things, but when the fire road we wanted to take was closed she showed me some things, too. A bunch of the fire roads are gated off as "Closed to the Public." Not sure why. Other than that things are riding pretty...

    Nass 4/23 morning!!!

    I am really ashamed of what I just ate. The only cure is to squeeze in a ride where I barely have time. Sessions Lot 7:15 A.M. Beginner pace with some choice climbing.

    Penwood 11/20 (FAIL)

    Explored Penwood for the first time today. I gathered that you pretty much ride out so far and turn around. Ride out was good: Stuck to the western trail. Seemed to mostly have a yellow blaze on it, then twisting about with the Metacomet. Lots of fun. On the return route I decided to try to go...

    Sessions solo ride 11/6

    Something about today was just beautiful. As my first season riding nears an end (for me; don't know how much I'll ride in the winter) I find myself riding the stuff I started out with in May. I feel good about my progress. Today I did: Sessions-B street-truck trail-Hinman-Johnnycake-Apple...

    How do I dispose of an old bike?

    I pulled my old GT out of my Mom's cellar today. I was hoping to salvage some of it, bit it looks like none of it is useable. Can I just throw it out? Should I just take it to the dump?

    Starting point at the Rez

    What's the best trailhead at the West Hartford Reservoir? When I started biking I got into the habit of taking one of the dirt roads about 1/2 way off the paved trail. I'd like to branch out now. What's the skinny?

    Tyler Mill RBW 9/22

    Met up with Djembebongo and Doyle from CF at 10:00. Djembe showed us some great trails. I tried to bail early but those guys pushed me and it was great.:flame::-o Ride clocked in at 9:15 miles. No huge climbing but lots of ups and downs to keep me working. Don't know how to describe the ride...
