Right parking lot, but the write up is saying to park at the back, migs mentioned meeting by the gardens which I think are right at the entrance.

 

[migs 01]

this seems right. not to many tracks to work with.

How's the riding leading south from the VVMP lot? Is it mostly singletrack or lame ass fire road? I've got until about 6:30 to ride (would like to get home with dinner and to see the kids before bed). In the interest of time, would it make more sense to park here and just jump right into the good stuff? Those tracks in the southern end sure look nice and twisty.

2/2.5 hrs is plenty of time. It's pretty much ST the whole way with a bit of FR to connect things. The only reason to park at the "lazy spot" is to avoid climbing. Why would you want to avoid climbing?:roll:

I go to a BJ's in Wallingford often in the winter. Grab some things for the week and gas up.

Cool cool. Don't worry about me with climbs. I'm kinda sick in that I like them. Plus you get to go back down!
