Anyone else not working tomorrow and want to do some exploring off Stone Road? I can start anytime after 11.

I figured I would start up past the old jail like they recommend on CF and carefully do the Dentist twisites so I don't end up like their creator. Then see what else is over there which I am sure is the stuff we did Sunday, then cross Stone and cut over to that last trail we did with the steep downhill with the root drops. Then instead of going left like we did which bought us back to Stone and our cars I figured I will venture up the hill and see what is up there.
Any other areas you know of that we need to check out for the Epic ride?
Well??? How'd it go?
Good, probably already rode 85% of what I did today with you guys on Sunday. Also found a nice trail along a rock wall down on the SE part of this track. I also ended along some people back yard, think it was the same area me and Brian already found.
Did a little under 5 miles in about an hour, avg speed 4 mph. We should be able to pull off that Epic ride in a morning easy, just need to pace ourselves and know where we are going.

If anyone wants the topofusion track let me know,at least it will show you the direction I went and you'll see the screwy backtracking I was doing.

Excellent! Must have been tearing through that place. I suspect those trails north of the Tunxis must be a lot of fun to ride fast.
Stupid question, is the Tunxis the blue with the red dot?
Online it's cited as a "blue-blazed trail".

I'm pretty sure where the Tunxis Trail diverges in Sessions Woods loop is blue-blazed, no dot. I could double check later if the kids cooperate though...
I think you are thinking wrong. I followed the blue with red dot in(fairly straight track east to west in middle of my ride yesterday) and after looking a little closer at the topo it is labeled Tunxis Trail.
That site actually could prove very helpful to you Nass-heads.It looks like this could explain more of it:

Does any of that info on the red dot trail coincide with where you saw it, Jeff?
