Planning on riding bluff point for the first time next week... have to get out of the snow belt in west hartford.

can someone give me some background on bluff point? something about the trails and how to find our way around?

thanks

Charlie, It's an easy place to ride, pretty small, it's all contained by the ocean(great views) and RR tracks. Take a map from NEMBA or Bikerag.com. I don't know how the snow situation is there now, but I bet it's a lot better than the Res. It is mostly double track, around and through the center, with single track spurs throughout.

Charlie, The place is great, much larger than Zog makes it out to be. Don't rely too much on the bikerag.com maps. They cut out a massive amount of single track. Granted most of it is contained in the Bluff Point area but there is more on the other side of the tracks. A lot of the trails do pop on and off of the main bluff road. Lots of snaky single track. There are some nice rock gardens and some nice tight trails. There isn't much snow on the ground up there. Couple inches and it is not packed so not much ice.

Wish I could tell you more, alls I can say is if you see the single track, hit it and you won't be disappointed. Enjoy!!
