Great day on the trails rolling with the Black Sheep Squadron down in Trumbull, CT......
We all met up around 11am in the commuter lot off Daniels Farm Road and slowly assembled. Think we had around 15+ peeps when we finally pedaled out of the lot and onto the trails. For the most part the beginning of the ride was mostly uphill and technical in spots regardless before too long we arrived at the first of the play features and the rest of the ride seemed to flow into a nice balance of climbing, rolling, dropping and pedaling. The rock formations in this river valley are amazing to say the least, plenty of stuff to drop, roll and climb, the lines are just about everywhere you look!
Anyway after 4 happy hours and 9 miles we exited the woods back to the cars and onto the post ride festivities. Although, the trails here are definitely not the XC type riding I'm used too they are a blast and look forward to getting back for another ride soon. Many thanks to Heather and Biker Dave for the great tour and to the rest of the BSS for sharing a great day on the trails....
Here's some pics......
....and a little movie I put together.....
Enjoy! :beer:
