HARPOON MTB ADVENTURE SERIES

Wompatuck State Park - Hingham, MA

( June 29, 2003 )

Join NEMBA and Harpoon Sunday, June 29 at Wompatuck State Park in Hingham for an exciting day of trail riding and interaction with riders from all over the region. There will be marked trails for all levels of riders and Wompatuck even boasts an extensive paved bike path system where families that are not quite up to trail riding can still enjoy riding with family and friends.

Funds raised at this year's event will be split between Wompatuck State Park's trail fund and NEMBA's land Preservation Fund to buy Vietnam.

Riding for all levels. Lead rides, bike vendors, massage therapy and other activities. Don't forget the post ride Harpoon party after the event!

And look back here soon for a list of participating vendors!

The cost of the ride is $10 for NEMBA members and $15 for the general public. Kids 15 and under ride for free with a parent or guardian, and you can join NEMBA and ride for free! Rides start at 9am.

Anyone going to this? How are the trails? I plan on going if it doesn't rain.

I went to this event with my daughters 8 and 15. We didn't do anything rugged although my 8 yo really appreciates her helmet after her spill.

Wampatuck has quite the collection of easy to difficult trails including the "Family Loop". We might go again on Saturday.

PS I joined NEMBA and rode for free.

I rode Wompy yesterday and followed a lot of the NEMBA ride because ALL of the signs are still up. I started to take some down at the start but then realized they were all up. I thought they must have been left up for a reason. ??? The signs themselves say they will be taken down right after the event. Is there a reason they are still up? Should I have taken them down?

The event promotor, Jeff, has asked assistance in removing the arrows, and he'll sweep the course with some friends on Saturday to make sure they're all done.

Please DO help pull arrows. If you do, perhaps use a small screw driver to make sure that the staples come out to.

Thanks for the help.
