10 min from my house. We ran some lacrosse clinics at the park but I never had a chance to ride it. I can do some recon but I prefer to do it with a GPS..... which I don't have.....

You could certainly borrow mine for a recon, or we could stumble through it together,

A 2 man recon might be nice. I was talking to a couple of rode bikers who were riding through the park. I asked them about the MTB trails and they said there some good stuff back there. They also mentioned how a couple of people have been carted out on stretcher over the years. :-o

I rode it a few weeks ago. It's a mix of singletrack, double track and other dirt roads in the park probably about 4-5 miles for the whole loop. Even though it's nothing too crazy it's nice to have it within 5 miles of my house.

Yeah, raced this year on it using my single speed. Some biatch a$$ climbs, tight single track, and a nice almost roller in the mix. One of the downhill sections on the dual track was a little sketchy if you ask me.

There's a local Crankfire guy that has been doing some light TM. I passed along the contact info I have for the ops manager for the Army corp of Engineers. Perhaps we'll see some more sanctioned trail development at Hop Brook.

Greg have you obtained your NEMBA card yet? :razz: You are turning into quite the trail advocate these days.

:lol: Call me selfish, but I don't have a lot of free time for TM. Not if I also want to ride. I do want to do at least one day of TM this season though, even if it's just raking in the fall. I might take a day off and spent a few hours somewhere cleaning up or building. Gotta give back.
