Got out today for a quick RAW at 3:00. Bond Brook is a new trail system some local guys are cutting. There is a massive expanse of land up by the Augusta Airport. The city approved their proposal to do a multi-use area including a lot of single track and some winter sports stuff as well.
This is my third trip out there. The first one was a solo ride and got pretty turned around. Second was with a friend and we got pretty lost. Again, no real trail map exists. Today was solo.
The Trails still aren't labeled but they sure do ride super well. I borrowed the girlfriends GPS and got a few stats. Did 4 miles in 55 minutes which seems like not enough distance covered.
I did most of the stuff they had so far. Will have to post a few pictures when I get back from my trip to VA. Great afternoon of riding. Wish I could have stayed out for another hour or so to really dig into a few of the tougher loops.
For the first time, I saw someone else on the trail. It is obvious they get used but never at the same time I am out. Nice guy. Was riding a pretty old Raleigh and somehow he got covered in mud. (which is strange because all the trails are bone dry)
Anyway, great ride in AWESOME weather. It's nice to see a group of people promoting the sport in town. Now if I can just meet up with them for a group ride.
