Something new in Burlington?

Check out the far southwest corner of this map:

Notice that navy blue track that heads out past Marsh Pond. Some of that looks very "twisty-like". Time for an exploratory?

Interesting. I know right where that comes out to.

That's part of the intrigue. That "trailhead" in Terryville would be very close to me.

That is the trail that goes to Tory's Den. Parts of that are scary to walk, let alone ride a bike. Applachian trail type stuff. Good luck

Get out your freeride bikes, wimps.

So pretty much unrideable, huh? Found some more info on Tory's Den and the Mile of Ledges section of the Tunxis. Based on these pics, it looks pretty damn rugged:

Kinda like those hike-a-bike sections down in Sessions Woods. Bummer. I was hoping that would be a good way to access Nass from a parking spot closer to home. Looks like an exploratory in there would just be slow-going and frustrating...
