Made the about 35 minute drive from my house "across the border" to the Arcadia Managment Area off Route 165 in RI today. This is a massive (14,000+ acre) area just over the CT/RI border with alot of miles of trails.
Being a MTB newbie, and my first time on this big piece of land, I spent my first hour or so (roughly 12 miles) just riding a bunch of the semi-maintained gravel/dirt roads that criss-cross the property to get a feel for the place. Literally every 1/4 mile or so, there's some ST that heads off into the woods from the main work roads(Even with a detailed map, I highly doubt that I could remember the names of the trails - if they have an actual name! or some of them are even on a map!) Had a couple of "Oh Sh$t!" moments, but I'm starting to realize that those often make it more fun from time to time!
Total mileage per the garmin was 20.17. Definately won't be the last time I ride there!
