Looking to get out to eastern Mass and ride either Vietman or Lynn Woods. Both spots are known for some crazy terrain and stunts. Doubt I will be able to hit much at either of these spots, but I want some new goals for next season :-D

I am hoping that Austin will volenteer his services as a guide, and will try and drag 2knees and ishovelsnow out there with me. Who want to tag along and video tape the stupidity?.....Jeff, Brain, Trev


I am going to start looking for a cheap full face helmet just for this ride

I'm in for Sunday. What time?

Btw, I vote for Lynn Woods. Lynn Woods has less stunts but way better techi riding.

I am up for either spot, but some of the others will have longer drives than I will. How long do you think the drive is from Springfield to Lynn Woods?

You can probably cut like 15 minutes of that since the speed limit on 128/95 is 55mph but everyone does 70mph.


Also remember that I don't know Vietnam well at all but I know Lynn Woods like the back of my hand. We could very easily get stuck riding a lot of crap at Vietnam but at Lynn you know everything we ride will be good.

Lynn woods is not going to work for me this weekend. I forgot that we had some plans. How about next weekend?

Mr. Evil, I sent you a PM a couple of days ago. You get it?

Anyway, what I said was that I could ride after 2:30 on Saturday and any time on Sunday.

Anyone else going to make the trek to Lynn?
