MTB: Nassahegan - Sunday AM, 7/20

[Greg]

I have an epic Lamson loop in mind. Probably will take 3 hours at a moderate pace. Probably a 7-8 miler. Lamson's Corner 7:30 am. Who's in?

 

[o3jeff]

Who's gonna guide us?

 

[bvibert]

Sounds good to me, I don't know why I couldn't make it at this point.

Who's gonna guide us?

Greg, I would guess. Maybe he'll learn how to use the GPS before the ride this time...

 

[Greg]

Hardy har har. :roll:

The loop I have in mind consists of all trails we've already ridden so I think we'll be okay.

Sorry, I'm in a ball busting mood this afternoon.

 

[bvibert]

I say we do this:

I'll be there. :smile:


I will be happy with any ride you come up with as long as it includes those sweet DH's you took me on last time.

Sweet, another guy to heckle me... :roll:

That's in the plan!

We saw the Crankfire crew there tonight and this was their ride:

Very close to what I have planned for Sunday morning.

Refresh my memory, what are you thinking for Sunday? What they did, but with the southern stuff that we did last night?

Basically that, but with the stretch north of that 850' area. You know, including the "B". Coming down that is great and the stretch we took up paralleling 69 will also be fun to come down. The only problem is then we're faced with that long semi-uphill slog on the doubletrack on the east side of 69. And then we're faced with the climb to the top of the ridge.

So, not the stuff on the backside of sessions like we did last night? Jeff and I did basically the same ride (without the B section), except we had to bail back on 69 instead of finishing on the trail to the west of it. I'd personally like to try and do something a bit longer than what you're suggesting, since we won't have the daylight limitation..

 

[Greg]

How about a "figure-8"? Scoville twisty warm-up, down into Sessions via the "B", cross 69, up the doubletrack, the cemetery twisties in reverse, and then the northern loop in reverse with a repeat on the cemetery twisties to finish it off?

That's a possibility, I'd like to hit those two down hill sections again to redeem myself though (doing a figure 8 would be climbing them instead). Seems like we could try to do some of the stuff out towards stone road and still hook back into our original loop before those down hills...

 

[o3jeff]

There we go, can go find that devils rock kitchen over by stone road. Maybe over that will be better than over by the soccer fields.

That's possible, but I think we'd be hitting it from the wrong direction from the way we'd likely be heading.

This looks like a rather epic ride:

Sort of an out and back though, rather than a loop, and it misses those downhills. I'm really cool with anything.

 

[Greg]

Or....how about this:

Then, this, but in reverse:

http://www.crankfire.com/trails/data.php?dataid=427

that's like 11 miles though. :lol: Long enough for you?

 

[bvibert]

Screw it, I'm just gonna do this one and get it over with:

:lol:

Seriously, 11 miles sounds pretty good to me. I'm going to study the maps and come up with a good ride...
