The weather does look nice and considering that the ticketing by the NB water company isn't supposed to start for a few weeks...... How about a rip out of Scoville Road?

After my ride tonight, I can say that the trails in this area are really starting to dry out nicely and I'm sure we can put a great loop together. Might even be able to get my butt up there for a 5:30pm start with a little advanced notice.

Anyway let's make this ride happen! :beer:

Anyone else interested?

YES! And I would definitely be down for 5:30. Probably no post-ride beer for me. I gotta be rolling by 8 pm to get home in time to take the Abb-meister to the fireworks in town.

Scov at 5:30 pm works for me, or perhaps a "secret" spot. Maybe a dip into Sessions and hopefully finding the bypass to the waterfall DH?

The wate fall DH by pass is pretty easy to find. When I rode there several weeks ago Mleg showed me and WC how to get there. WC should be able to lead the way. I love the DH, but the long ass rode out on the gravel loop just isn't worth it for me. You. Guys need to find some actual trails out of there to avoid the gravel loop.

shoot me a PM is you want to get out tomorrow, I may be able to swing it. We will see if we can find a way to mess up your other elbow so you have a matched set.

I have been out of the loop lately. What is up over there? I heard there were some news signs posted. But it sounds like this crackdown is imminent. Is this for all of the Nass parking areas?

Not sure what the final outcome is going to be, but it's not looking all that great at the moment. This affects parking at Scoville and potentially riding in areas outside of the actual state forest (most of the trails around Scoville could be off limits).
