Info on Vietnam

[LeFlo]

We are planing a trip at Vietnam on Easter weekend, since it is a 7h drive I'd like to be sure it is officially open on Easter. Also is there a camping that is open in the area. If you have suggestion of trails not to mist. Not the crazy stuff but more in the intermediate.
Thanks

Not for nuthin (I dig Nam and all), but dunno if I'd make a 7 hour drive just to ride there. Got plans to hit any other stuff in the area (or need any suggestions)?

Agreed, especially if you're saying "not the crazy" stuff. But a tour of some of the great riding available in MA would be worth it.

Too bad you're coming up a week before Lynn Woods is open.


I would say:
Otis
Foxboro
Borderland
Nam
Lynn

would be a fantastic 5 day tour of eastern MA from easiest to hardest. Each spot offers a unique riding experience and are within an hour of Boston.

Or maybe go out and visit Slappy, for a tour on some Central MA trails.

Yup, plenty of riding in central MA. Check out my map below.

I'd swap BLand with 'nam if yer goin' easiest to hardest. BLand's purty techie!!! Dave's got a good point though. Make it a grand tour, rather than several days at 'nam. 'Nam's cool, but for tech XC, there are a lot of places that compete with it.

Also, depending on where yer coming from, there's so much good riding around, that you could stay closer to home. Fer instance, I wouldn't say Otis is better than Leominster, so if yer coming from the north, you could sample all of the great riding areas in northeastern MA. Likewise with central and western MA. Hell, if you check MTBR, the Westies are always sayin' that the best ridin's out THEIR door! Truth is, we're spoilt fer riding everywhere. Thanks NEMBA!

Up here north of Montreal still 2 ft of snow so yes it is far but my 2 sons and i are stating to :burndev:for a ride and from what i now there is hoder stuff to do around if we get bord, just need to see what is open

Holyoke Range is near RT 91, an easy stop on your way south (or back home), and the conditions there are good. Lots of cool trails there.

Leominster is currently not ridable due to ice storm damage and probably won't be in the near term.

Nord of Montreal were snow is still 2 ft i was looking to at the cape but it is almost 1 h dive more will see

[strangeland2]

Leflo I think most of the places dont have official opening days. We re getting a good amount of rain so that could hinder things for you but other wise I think you ll be ok. If you keep and eye on the board there will probably be rides posted for the week end you re planning. You could always join in one of the groups and they ll be able to show you any kind of riding you re looking for. All of the trails around here have two lines so if you dont like the fun/stupid line there is almost always a go around (the main line).
