Nice looking trails. Where in Walpole is that?

[buttahflake]

they're in town. end of reservoir rd. trails are maturing nicely. killer, two hour loop, right out of my garage. schweet!

My only question is why you're drinking Dale's instead of the new big cans Moat has out. NH Pride.

I'll be up in your neighborhood July 4th weekend but it's gonna be more of a lift served gravity fueled coupla days. Highland and Waterville.

You have any beta on the riding around Waterville (that's where we're staying) other than the lift served that they do? I know there are trails heading up toward Franconia notch and some singletrack networks near the village but can't seem to find any decent maps or info.

^yeah actually. if you bring trail bikes the whole 'smarts brook' network in Thornton on both sides of rt 49 is very good. big open sections of slickrock granite etc... lots of good flow options there. one of my favorite places to ride. it's like, five miles from WV.

Now don't take this the wrong way, because I love Phish, but it really makes me not want to watch your videos knowing every time its another Phish song. No offense, just switch it up, man.

I just turn the Vimeo volume down and play some Winger :tongue:.

BFlake, have you ridden Ascutney at all? Looks like there is some trail action going on: http://www.stabvt.org

STAB is Dope! seriously, it's the best. we should do a mini-summit over there. pure flow.

Damn, that looks nice. With a little advance notice I'd be down for some riding over there. Usually go to Pinnacle in Newport. Ascutney is about 30 minutes further. Not bad.

Sweet! Where do I find maps? The bike shop in the little village sucks bad. Wanna come up for beers and buds and a tour while I'm there?
