Someone mentioned that Litchfield got a dusting this weekend and I am looking for a place to ride on Wednesday, which very well could be my last ride of 2009. Thinking about hitting White Memorial if I can get away without having to use spikes (because I don't have any).

I live about 10 minutes away from White Memorial, we probably got around 3 inches of pretty light snow. With all the wind it's hard to tell now though. I have no idea how the trail in White Memorial look, but they do tend to get quite a bit of foot traffic, so whatever snow is left on the trails may be packed down.

As long as it doesn't warm up and all that foot traffic turns to ice I might be golden!

It doesn't look like it's supposed to get above freezing between now and then, so you might be all set.

On the way to Mom and Dad's this afternoon I crossed the Larkin Bridle Trail in Oxford and it was looking pretty ridable! Maybe 5" of untracked dry powdery snow. :snow:

I was thinking about driving up to Robbinson in Agawam (sp?) but from I have read, the previous snow has resulted in less optimal conditions unless you have spikes.

I live about 5 minutes from Robinson and highly doubt it's rideable. You should email Steve R (pioneer valley NEMBA Pres) as he lives next to the park and it's his baby. I can send you his email if you don't have it. He also goes under the name 'the hare' on the MTBR and NEMBA forums.
