So I'm trying to find some single track near home. Hoping for not more than a 10 - 15 min drive from Northborough.

Too far, looking for something in the immediate area. I want to be able to get out quickly at lunch when I'm working from home. Leominster State forrest is a 1/2 + hr drive.

Hope you find something! The only reason why we hit White Memorial is that it is 5-8 miles away, depending on which entrance. Wish we had something closer though. I think it's marcski who has mountain biking right from his house--nice!

How big is your yard?



And it's NEMBA, not NAMBLA.

Even better I have Mt Pisgah about 10 minutes from my house. And there are some easy single track I can reach right from my house.

I lived in northborough for the past 10 years, was very active in the construction of over 15 miles of trails in town. You have a lot of options, check out the town website. There is a link to the trails committee, you will find some decent maps there. I live in shrewsbury currently where I am currently working with a land owner on some new trails on a 70+ acre parcel.

Thanks, I'm JCK on NEMBA. I'm going to check out the Algonguin trails as soon as I can. Friday is going to be a washout so next week sometime.

Hey JCK, I think you really lucked out by living in Northborough as far a mountain biking goes. There is a ton of riding in town. I work nights Mon through Thu and occassionally get out during the week early afternoon for a ride. Otherwise I ride Fridays through Sunday often in Northborough. Let me know if you ever want to hook up, for a ride.

if you find some good stuff let us know. I am sure we can get a few of the CT crew to come out to ride in Central MA. How close are you to Vietnam?

I don't think Vietnam is more than 1/2 hour from me. The reality though is that I don't have anyone to watch my kids most of the time so I'm really limited to what I can squeeze in at lunch for now.

Hey, wa-loaf I am riding Pisgah saturday morning with a couple guys. Starting around 8:30am at the Smith Rd parking lot. Your welcome to join up. We'll be riding at a moderate pace probably only 5 mi or so. I know your schedule is tough but just thought i'd throw out an invite anyway. Hope you've been able to get out.

Got out around the HS today. I can't make it Sat, but thanks for the invite. I might take the kids over there later in the day for some hiking. One of these days I might be able to hook-up for a group ride.

I'll be out around noon, coming from the HS side. If you can get out earlier.
