Anyone riding this weekend?

I kind of have a hankering to ride either Batchelor street or Penwood.

As usual I'll most likely be out riding everyday and really have no commitments over the weekend so I'm completely flexible. Anyway the chance to ride some new (too me) trails would be sweet! Just let me know when and where and I'll try to make it happen.

Then Penwood may be the best bet as it's much less of a drove for you. Penwood is in Simsbury on Rt189 while Batchelor st is up in Amherst Ma. I'd you can ever do a ride at batchelor street I highly recomend it. It's with our a doubt some of the best trails in NE.

I'm not worried about the driving and would prefer the chance to ride (with a guide) Batchelor Street. Maybe a Sunday or Monday morning ride?

Ok, Penwood it is at 8:00am Sunday morning. I will post up the location for the parking area later. I am also going to see if Jamie & Eric (aka crazy trials dudes want to join us). The loop is only about 7 miles, but it's a tough 7 miles with some really fun spots.

I may even bust out 'THE HELMET'. There are a couple of crazy DH rocky shoots that I want to ride. I rode them last time there but it was kind of sketchy

../sigh :p

See ya there in the am bub!

I would probably take 91S to exit 35b (rt 218) and follow that west until you intersect rt 185. You will take a right onto 185 andfollow that for a bit. The entrance to the parking area will be on the right side directly off of 185

Going to try and make this ride but need some clarification on the parking area. Pretty sure I'll be able to figure it out but just in case you don't see me in the AM around 8 feel free to dial me up at (203) 808-2344 and direct my ass to where it needs to be! :beer:
