MTB: Lynn woods day?

[awf170]

How about a trip up to Lynn woods you Connecticut folk? Or at least some of you central Massers? Just find someone with a roof rack and jam a few people into a car and split the gas. Lynn woods is a very unique place since about half the riding you do is on giant rock slabs, hence the nickname "moab of the east", so I think you CT dirt trail riding sissies need to check this out. I can do any day if I have more than week of notice (until I go back to school at least). I would recommend a day later in the season so we have more time to stop sucking, since the riding is super technical. Maybe late August or any time in September?

My long distance ride destination this summer is probably going to be Case Mountain. Between the West Hartford Rez, Nepaug and Nass, there's just too much good riding nearby to warrant traveling too far. In fact, I'm far from tiring of Nassahegan yet and I've ridden there a lot. Still a ton more to see. Lynn is a 2.5 hour drive.

 

[Marc]

I'm in. I'll drag along the usual suspects.

In other words thats a "no"

If Austin comes down with that rad new bike of his to ride Nass, I'll upgrade to a "maybe".

I can fit 3 guys and their bikes in my car if we want to do a road trip...

EDIT: That's 3 including me, BTW..

Wow, that's two trips down for Austin to one "maybe" from Greg...

If I was single and had no kids, no problem. We live very different lives, fella. An hour or so for a ride? No problemo. 2.5 hours? That's a little rough.

 

[bvibert]

We could always compromise and find somewhere slightly closer to us, but still not too far from the Masshole crew.

Why do you think I've had no problems getting out for a ride!:razz:

 

[wa-loaf]

If you want to do a middle ground trip to Leominster State forest in about a month, I'd be in. I'm doing pretty good with the knee and eyeing the bike again. May have trouble keeping up, but that's cool.

I'm farily certain no one lives a life quite like mine :dunce:

Marc has the most epic repair project in the history of mankind that he is try to do by himself, so if he can make it you can too. He does seem to actually have free time now though, so maybe he took the intelligent route and just gave up.

Haha, mofawker, no giving up yet. As a matter of fact, this weekend I've got some garage straightening (literally, straightening the actual building) and maybe building some new bulkhead doors on my list.

Also some more trimming around the barn, some firewood cutting, I have to do some cleaning and sorting, weeding, watering, mulching, scraping some paint, buying some paint, replacing the blinds on the back porch, redrilling one of the aluminum doors... etc. etc.....

Ok, so I won't get to all of it, and maybe I'm stupid, but no I haven't given up.

 

[Marc]

By the way, thanks for helping on the project by rearranging the peat moss and hiding an Easter egg.

You had Justin repeatedly run into the wall?

The egg was actually your birthday present. Justin also had one for you but decided to eat it instead.

Here is one lame and blurry photo from yesterday to get you pumped. :roll:

NIce... I guess I'm riding by myself again.

Found some sweet technical singletrack today. No drops bigger than 2 ft., just endless amounts of rock gardens.
