Spent last Friday-Sunday enjoying the NE Kingdom during the fall foliage and logging some miles on the Kingdom Trails. Although it wasn't exactly sunny the whole weekend the rain held off and other than a few slick roots and the occasional mud hole, the riding was pretty good!
Managed to get a decent ride in everyday. Other than the the short 8+ mile loop we rolled on Friday afternoon from the Village, Saturday and Sundays rides started from the Condo just below mid Burke and began with a healthy climb up the mountain followed by a shit-ton of flowing single track back towards E. Burke. We did take advantage of the IDERIDE shuttle on both Saturday and Sunday to help ease the uphill pain back to the condo a bit. Well worth the $5.00!!! Even took a few lift serviced runs Saturday Afternoon which where pretty sweet, especially when you can ride right back to the Condo after the last lift ride without a pedal stroke!!
Regardless ended up rolling around 50 miles of sweet single track over the three days. Probably won't be able to make it back this year again but so looking forward to my next chance to visit.
Here's some pictures....
