MTB: Nassahegan - Early Sunday, 8/24

[Greg]

Wanna get on trail bright and early at 7 am. Fast pace. Plan is to do this ride again:

But I'd like to go a bit deeper into Session Woods to bring the mileage up a bit - probably 11 or 12+ miles and the goal is to finish it in 3 hours or less. I'll be recrossing Scoville at some point so if you want to join me for the first or second leg, that's cool. We can determine the mid-point time if that's the case. It will be determined by which section we hit first.

Who's down?

Will there be tailgating afterwards?

That's Steve's call. I probably won't be partaking. An early start so I can salvage the rest of the day.

I got a voicemail from him. Is he coming along? If so, I'll bring the bike. Do you want to do the first leg (7 am) or the second leg (~8:30 am)? What kinda riding would you rather do? Bigger climb/techy downhills or more flowy singletrack?

 

[MR. evil]

I am a solid maybe at this point. I have a BBQ saturday afternoon and then my brothers Jack & Jill that night.I am not planning on drinking that much so there is a good chance I will be able to make it

Bigger climb/techy downhills or more flowy singletrack?

So are you starting out techy or flowy?

I guess I'm in to slow the ride down;-)

What is your preferred start time? I will adjust each leg of this ride based on that.

Ugh. I just realized we started going to new church. Only mass is 8:30 on Sunday. In future weekends I could be down for 7 am rides. gives me time to get home and spend the bulk of the day with the fam.

 

[Greg]

Bummer. Say a prayer for me. Lord knows I need it!

 

[bvibert]

Looks like I'm out for this one guys.

 

[o3jeff]

Steve, did you have a chance to replace your chain?

 

[Greg]

So the roll call looks like:

Greg
o3jeff
powhunter
johnnypoach (I assume)

Anyone else? I'm thinking we start with the Sessions side and then do the big loop for the second leg. Unless of course, the old men are up for the big climb?

 

[o3jeff]

You lost me, we going to do the Sessions big loop(out by beaver pond), scale down the cliffs and into sessiowoods, then cross 69 to the FR and up the big climb, then the DH across 69 and through the ST there and back to the cars?

No. I don't think we'll head south of Beaver Pond. I'm thinking B Street down to the logging area and head up to the blue trail from there (that spot we stopped at the other night where Brian and I tried your loaner). Then back to Scoville either via the twisties or the straight shot on the Tunxis. Then the big northern loop via the cemetery twisites.

I missed in Steve's post he only wanted to do a half a ride. That will work, at least we will get them on some new trails they haven't ridden.

Yup. I don't think they've hit B Street yet. And the blue trail is pretty technical. I'll be walking the site of Red's rib crushing crash though. :-o

 

[o3jeff]

Screw walking it, they told me I can do 8 foot drops on this bike!
