Basically stay off of the blue trails while riding your bike or you might get fined $70. All blue trails in CT are technically closed to mountain bikers, but it isn't enforced everywhere.

While we were at Nepaug we rode on one small section of the blue trail, but the rest of what we did wasn't on in AFAIK. The section that we rode on was that part that leads back to the lot with the small jump at the end. I think this is the section that people are getting ticketed for riding...

Definitely not enforced around Masnfield Hollow last time I was there.

That would suck to end up with a ticket. He should really be chasing the motor cycles and the 4wd and ticketing them, but like they said on the other web sites he is just trying to let everyone know that there is a new guy in town.

All the DEP officers were probably 2 miles down the road in the middle of Willimantic chasing some ho's when you were there ;)
