Full set here. (http://webpages.charter.net/baddna//bike/1-7_ride) Just a few choice ones. I'm sorry I don't know everyone's screen names and forgive me for digitally decapitating some people but I'm just starting to take riding pictures.

Nice view!

This must be why Splat sightings are so rare, he's too busy climbing trees trying to get a better look.

The whole group.

That's a lot of great pics. And a lot of airtime. 8)

Hey, splat, could you post or email me the gpx file for the ride?

[fisherking]

Great pics, keep them coming. Still quite a bit of snow up NW MA but plan to get out and ride in whatever is there for a short one later today.
Great air/drops too. Inspiration for a small dropper like me.....

[BadDNA]

Thanks, I made the drive down from the Worcester area, Splat and most of the crew came down from central MA as well. Well worth the drive for some snow free riding in January.

Looks like it was a great ride, the conditions were great down there yesterday. I hit Trail of Tears solo and was lucky enough to run into MTB Tom, Mrs MTB Tom and company. Had a great time with those guys, no snow is where it's at. I finally rode a (very tiny) piece of Otis with those guys. I'm goin to try to get to Otis at some point in the near future, looks like I may want to bring a bike with some suspension though.

Great ride. We'll have to break the 10 mile mark next time.

Since there's so many photo's here already, I'll just post a couple of my good ones:

great pics!

It's actually 'Mt. Zig' and that platform used to be up in the tree until recently. i have hung out up there MANY times and it is a bummer to see it down. there is a great view also from "the watchtower", which is now just the concrete base of a firetower. ride around and you will find it.

I ride there frequently and never do most of those stunts I see you guys doing in those pics. I live just south of the GPS map you posted. Seeing the pics really inspires me to try some of that stuff. I usually wimp out because I ride alone, more XC style I guess.

I missed all riding this weekend, taking my kid to the emergency room for a CAT scan on his head after he fell and starting throwing up. Not fun. But he is OK. Not great seeing a 1 year old in that big machine.

No snow here now. I got out for a run at least.

[SloMoJo]

Wow .. .those are cool pix.

Amazing what you'll do when riding with buddies a little more daring. That was fun.

I completely forget my age....but the next morning I remember tho. ;)

How was the shoulder the next day?

[SloMoJo]

Hiya buddy ... I was a little soar the day after and shoulder is still tender now. I was lucky tho ... things could have been way worse.

Look forward to the next ride. 8)
