I'm thinking we ride the Stone Road area of Nassahegan for a change of pace. I'll be starting early, like 7 am most likely.

I'd be interested in joining up on Sunday for an early AM ride somewhere in CT. Anywhere is fine, i'm sure i've only seen a small fraction of what Nass has to offer.

There's going to be a big Crankfire ride out of the Stone Road area on Sunday morning. Not sure if that matter since they will be starting at 9 am. So....is anyone else interesting in riding Nass early Sunday morning?

Good. You know this area better than me so you lead. I was thinking maybe hitting the twisties, then the Devil's Kitchen and back up Cornwall Road climb and then East back to Stone Road. Unless of course, you have a route in mind.

Probably closer to 3 which is why I wanted to start at 7 am.

Which twisties you starting at? ones east of stone you me and Brian rode that first time there? or are you looking to start at Lamsons and cut over? Unless Brian goes we are both going to be doing some exploring since I don't think I really remember which route we took in there. We can try and find something to upload off CF to give us something to go by.

The twisties East of Stone. I think I can get us down in there again. That's a pretty technical spot. It will be interesting to see how we do this time. Once back to the blue trail, finding the Kitchen is where I'll probably struggle. I don't have that area on my brain yet.

So....pow - you making this? Gonna be a technical ride for sure.
Finding the kitchen isn't hard, there's a DTish trail right off of Stone Rd, near, or at, where the Tunxis trail crosses (IIRC). Take in that and bang your first left, that'll lead you right into the kitchen.

Yea, I can get us to that stuff east of Stone, just once we cross back over it will be anyone's guess were we go from there.
If we download mine and Brains track that we did and ride it backwards there will be a real technical downhill down a steep hillside with steps carved into it and then it should get us to the top of the kitchen too. We just can't follow the track east of Stone since there was a lot of trail blazing, but also were on some good trails there too.
