Hope everyone got out this weekend. Did two great rides.

The first was Saturday with the wife at the Snip. The conditions were excellent in every way. Low 60's, bright blue skies, bright yellow leaves, firm but tacky trails. One of "those" rides.

A few pics:

A sequence of the wife and I going over a log. I knew the angle wasn't going to be great, but the dog really brings it to life in the second frame:

Sunday Slider and I hit up Case. For whatever reason Case is a love/hate thing. I've seen at lot of "I hate Case" posts up at other bulletin boards. Yeah, its pretty worn, but man are those trails fun. Some areas are technical beyond belief, other areas are flowy, still others have the perfect combination of both - flowy and technical. Nothing like speeding along on highly technical trails - going for air between the rocks.

The camera's batteries were dead so I carried it for nothing.

Nice pics!

It was just perfect weather for riding.
Saturday, Tele-Mark & Errolthin & I had great ride at Yudicky.
I forgot the camera. :-(
This afternoon, Harry, Michele & I went up to FOMBA and had an enjoyable time riding the trails up there. This time I remembered the camera, none of the riding shots are any good, but this one I like.

I was fortunate enough to be up at Kingdom Trails. Gorgeous. Great weather, great riding. Ran into other NEMBA folks on the trails and at the campground.

I think I need to brush up on my French, though.....

hey jerseygirl, nice to meet ya!

kt absolutely rocked this weekend - the weather could not have been better, the trails were dry for 2 days in a row (!) lots of nice people up there (maybe just a couple too many...) the only downside was the low-mid 20 degree temps friday night.

Hi John,

Nice shot with the rubber dog. I couldn't even see the kickstand that you were using to hold it in place....just kidding! Nice shots.

Here are a few from my little ride around my neighborhood in Petersham.

It's just been a great Fall (and man, we were due--rememeber the rain of last year?!?)!

Got out to Lenox for a great afternoon of riding on the Yokun Ridge/ Lenox Mountain-the Berkshires just can't be beat this time of year.
