MTB: Sunday 9-14, 7 am: Nassahegan, CT / Stone Road

[o3jeff]

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.

That's the overgrown trail we took at once we figured out we were back to where we started to see were it went and then turned back right?

If you can get me to the right trailhead off of stone, I am sure I can get us somwere int there or at least lost:smile:

Did you ride said DT on this ride?

Yes. Most of the stuff to the North of the Kitchen and West of Stone was kinda BS, that's where we started, you can see that we eventually got back to Stone rd and went down that a short distance before peeling back off to the right. That's where the DTish stuff started, IIRC it was really easy to spot and had some sort of barriers to prevent motorized vehicles from accessing it. On that map you can see the first trail off to the left, where it heads South and then starts to hook West (forming a J sorta) before we turned around, that's the trail you want to take. To answer Jeff's question; yes that's the really over-grown trail we went down just to see if it hooked back into where we turned off to do that uber climb up those suck ass stairs.

Gary, if you make this ride you'll see why Greg considered the stuff at Waldo intermediate.

[o3jeff]

looks good, got clearance from the boss. as long as the weather isn't bad i'll be there.

not looking forward to the 5:30 AM alarm buzzer :-o

 

[bvibert]

I'll be there for sure. I can't wait!

If the weather held out I was planning on coming. But I rode Bachelor street this morning with my friend Red and Austin (awf170). It was really slick and I had a bunch of falls and crashes. On one of them I landed hard on a rock and really wacked my right heel and ankle. I don't think I will be riding for several days

 

[Greg]

How's Austin coming along with the MTB skills? He must be killing it now giving all the riding he's been doing.

My bike's all dialed in and ready to go. Gave it a thorough bath so it's begging for some new mud. Really looking forward to a change of pace riding out of Stone.

Austin is a freak of nature! Red didn't belive me that he has only been MTB for about 3 months. He was riding off every drop we could find for him. He seemed to like the change of pace but I am not sure if he liked all the climbing. Nothing is flat at B-street. But he also made the climbs look easy. Once I rest and get some ice on the heel / ankle I will write up a TR.

Sweet! Get to sleep early tonight. This is going to be, by far, the most challenging ride you've done. It should be a blast!

Thinking about maybe shooting some vid tomorrow. Tim - maybe I can highlight you rocking through the kitchen. :idea: Sack up and hit it with us tomorrow morning. Bring that wife of yours along too.

Please don't tempt me I think I may have bruised my right heel. It isn't swollen, but really hurts when I put any weight on it. It doesn't hurt when riding but walking isn't very fun.

I REALLY want to hit Devil's Kitchen again Greg, I guess you will have to rock the Kitchen for the camera in my absence. We both know Brian can't do it:razz:

 

[MRGisevil]

You even (explitives)ing think about riding on that foot of yours tomorrow and I will beat your ass. Sorry Greggors, working. But from what Timmy tells me this kitchen place sounds boss-- have fun!

Oh please, you wuss. :roll: You weren't even considering going.... :razz:

 

[o3jeff]

Has anyone talked to Steve to see if h is coming? Pretty lame, he starts a thread and probably isn't going to show,

IIRC I rode at least as much, if not more, of the kitchen than Greg the last time through.... :roll:

At least I'll be there to attempt it and not sitting at home eating skittles...

Hmmmm skittles!

Look at it this way, you guys can get in a practice session at the Kitchen without me. Maybe the next time I ride it with you two, you will be able to hang with me for more than 20 feet.:razz:
