Have a mellow group that was looking for a "leader" (I sort of know Otis) meeting @ 9:30 tomorrow. Same group as that big Womp ride you joined up with, not sure if pace/terrain intensity will be up your alley but we'll be there.

9:30 it is! We're gonna start from the dirt lot off of 151. Tyler, do you have better directions for those who don't know where the lot is?

The lot right near the exit ramp? or the one further down (parking lot 1), near the blinking light?
will this be more XC or more 'stop and session the drops with full armor'? i am looking for xc.
i will try to make it. i know otis.
By chance... anyone coming from Hudson area? There is a nemba memba there with a kids trailerbike that I want to buy, but we have not had a chance to meet up. If you bring it with you... you will be rewarded!

I'd be willing to help, PM me and we can see if we can arrange for the pick up the kids trailerbike tonight, and you can get it from me tomorrow morning. I"ll be parked at the dirt lot at 151/28, across from the animal hospital.

JH, we play on the features and roll the sweet singletrack. My XC is probably not your XC. In the land of Otis, we hit every drop, ladder, chute etc. we can as well as the many great trails in between. If you're looking for a smooth cruise or a heart-rate monitor pinned to the max ride, this ain't that. We go fast, slow, fast, stop and play.
Oh. and as Crocketjr just said we park at the dirt lot across from the animal hospital.

a couple of us may come down from NH. Do you have a street address of the meeting place? maybe the animal hospital? Which town? I can put it in my GPS.
Thanks

Nathan Ellis Highway (rt 151). go east a very short distance after getting off of rt 28.
North Falmouth, MA 02556
There is some dirt across the street from the animal hospital to park. Lock your car.
The trailhead is on the same side of the street as the animal hospital, back towards the state highway you just exited.
I prefer a ride with fewer stops for sessioning features. so i will prob. not come to find you guys at the lot, but I may see you out in the woods. i'm on a baby blue Wojcik 29er SS.

For those using a GPS, the address "180 Nathan Ellis Hwy Falmouth, MA" should bring you to the dirt parking lot.

Holy crap should've look at this sooner, looks like a regular convoy will be there tomorrow. See everyone in the AM.
Edit: Garrett after that comment you will be riding, falling, or flailing off every piece of rock we come across tomorrow. Trash talk started before the ride even did!
