rolled up to the NEK yesterday. parked at our favorite spot half way up Darling Hill Rd. used my Droid to live stream Pandora radio. it worked great, the speaker is pretty loud, awesome to hear Trey and Jerry bending notes while cruising singletrack

started on Knob, which has excellent new bridge work.

hit all the sweetness down into town on Pine, Leatherwood etc.. to Kitchel. road through town to the new trail. did someone say burn one

back to Herb's and than to the top of Darling Hill for Poundcake, Fenceline, Pasture Point.

safety meeting

no love for the NEK? it's like 100 miles of twistytrack and with a Brew Pub in town. WTF?

Damn I miss living in East Burke, looks there have been some changes since I was last up there.

Nice stoke.

is that on the ski area side? we usually just ride by memory up there, no map. once and a while we hear of new trails like Burnham Down and we go try and find them. we have been parking at that same spot near the Chapel on Darling Hill Rd. for years now. my knowledge of the ski area side is limited fo sho.
thanks for checking in boy's. let's ride together before ullrfest. VT-Free is going to put together a ride close to Big Daddy's that Saturday

Love it there. Hope to get up one more time before the snow falls, but who knows.

the forest floor is at its best right now, carpets of red, yellows, pale greens, pine needles - like riding a quilt

Nice Pics!

Was up riding that way yesterday and had a blast. Stoked they're running the lift now at Burke also. The Knight Slayer trail is insane. Can't wait to get up there again..

I was up there Thursday-Monday. Your pictures certainly cover the fantastic trails and views this weekend.

2 days on Darling Hill favorites followed by a big 6hr+ day starting from camp, up to Dead Moose Alley, most of Darling Hill and ended with a ride up the road and back on Burnham Down. Sunday was a ride/push up the Toll road to the top for Upper & Lower J-bar (on my singlespeed) and another ride up the fireroads for more DH.
