Last weeks ride was cancelled due to rain.

ADVANCED INTERMEDIATE

WHEN: Sunday May 1, 9:00AM. 3:00PM if pouring rain at 9:00AM.

WHERE: Robinson State Park, 911 Burger Entrance.

THE DIRT:

Riding sections 1 & 2 of the M&M trail. Expect a variety of terrain, it has everything. We climb Provin Mt after leaving Robinson, and follow the ridge until we get to the state line of CT. We turn back there and head back to Robinson. About 13 miles.

The terrain varies greatly. There are some freeridish spots, a long gutsy climb, short technical descents. Riding back down to Robinson is a absolute blast and you can hit DH racing speeds.

On this ride we may have local boys from the LBS, Gravity Warehouse.

I can't make it this weekend, but I'd like to do this ride this season. I hope you're going to do this as a recurring ride.

Yes I plan on having this ride the whole summer and into the fall. Everyone who has been on it likes it. About every weekend or every other weekend.

Its easy for me to do because I live right below it.

Well Wheeldog and I did this ride and had a lot of fun. Since we rescheduled to 3PM instead of 9AM, no one from Gravity Warehouse could go.

These rides will be done every week or so because this trail is really excellent. Maybe next week some pics.
