Any good maps out there for the MRV?
I know there are miles and miles and miles of trails. Just want to make sure I don't miss any.

Thanks.

Good luck... A few years ago we went up there looking to ride some of the awesome MRV singletracks I had been hearing about but the bike shops told us they didn't know of any trails in the area !

Instead we did a dirt road & snow mobile trail ride I got out of a guidebook. The ride was scenic and hilly but I could have done with out the three and a half mile slog through swamps and thorn bushes. Saving grace of the ride was that there were a ton of blackberries along this portion of the trail.

Outside of the kingdom trails singletrack riding in Vermont is like Sasquatch. You hear reports that it exists but it is rarely ever seen. ;)

Yah, it's kind of like skiing the woods. Nobody's talking.
Thought I might get lucky.
I know alot of the trails already so I'll just have to try and hook up with some of the locals.
Maybe I'll put together a map myself some day and post it here. Good way to get my ass tossed out of the state. ;D
