18 NE - Go on, ride when it's wet
First segment is Indian Ledge /Trumbull. My local spot. If anyone ever wants to roll through there let me know. Funny, was just thinking yesterday it would be a good place for a mini.

During hunting season ok I guess but all winter? That seems like a bit of an overreaction.
In that video the first segment is Trumbull in CT, second is Blue Mt in Peekskill and third is Mt Beacon. The first two are big networks with a really wide variety and Beacon is big and burly.

Blue Mtn was one of my spots back in the late 90s. Cool little town there on the Hudson. a nice break from the babyhead rock gardens of Ramapo.

According to their website, they are open.
Deer are nocturnal and 92% are shot in the early morning or evening grabbing a bite to eat in a field, follow the same routine, which is why they are so easy to kill. Trophy bucks are not bedding down for the day on active single track, waiting for someone to walk along and shoot them. I just ride sometime between 9am - 2 or 3, never see any hunters.www.apriliaforum.com

Finally got back out after the deluge of rain we've been getting! Mostly rail trail, but had to toss a hill climb in there to take in the view of Keene from up high last night. So worth it, perfect temps too!

Has anyone ever pedaled the forest service roads in Southern VT? Particularly around Stratton. I plan on doing some exploring down there this weekend and don't know if I should bring a proper mountain bike or gravel rig.

Awesome, I'm stoked to do some exploring. I basically want to start near the Winhall store, pedal Kendall Farm rd as it turns into to Service Rd. 320. Follow that around to Stratton Arlington Rd, to West Jamaica Rd to Mountain Rd. and back to the Stratton access rd.
Only concern is that Forest Service rd 320 has a "gap" in it on Google maps which I assume/hope connects by a primitive trail or road. if it connects it'll make for 30ish mile loop with a ton of climbing. I just want to make sure that road is passable.
Thanks for the input.

I hiked FS 320 a few years ago and it does connect. Might not be pretty but it goes. No idea how often they maintain it. Poked my head into the Stratton Arlington rd trailhead this summer and it looked pretty grown in. Have been eyeing that for a ride myself. Was~11 miles one way if I remember correctly.

You guys fucking rock, this is exactly the info I needed. I was going to bring my gravel bike but looks like this has turned into a mountain bike ride. If it gets ugly, it'll at least be easy to turn around and bail. I'm always up for an adventure and will report back.

Thats a great route. I have to disagree with the other posters and say that direction could be done on a gravel bike with 40ish tires since it will be mostly climbing on 320. The other direction would be terrible though.
I have startled a few moose on that climb sleeping on the side of the trail so be prepared.

Any CT locals interested in a night ride tomorrow in Waldo? Southbury CT. Think 6:30 start. This should be a Biggins “mtn biking is rad” style ride. Only complication is darkness.

^^ Hmm Maybe.
This might put the kibosh on the regular riding season https://www.tropicaltidbits.com/anal...ow_neus_32.png

Waldo was a blast last night. Interestingly the parking lot was full. Saw three other groups w lights for a total of 15-20 riders. Busiest I’ve seen it day or night. Any of you fuckos in there? Tried to make change for a nickel but no luck.

I hit my closest local spot yesterday and today and it's mostly dry but the spots that are muddy are impressively so. Man I tell ya, being off the bike for the better part of 4 months really puts a hurt on the fitness I got out a few times but only for a few miles before my hand quit, these two days weren't much different but, I'm going to push through the hurt because I'm pretty sure even if it was broken it's mostly healed by now. It does suck pretty hard when climbs you did in ~5 minutes take 15 with walking mixed in.
One of my demo bikes that I've been riding came with a crazy wide bar, could that be making it hurt worse than it would otherwise? I know that it's killing my ability to lift the front of the bike over things.
