^^^Blue Hawaiians in the water bottles?
Mrs P said it was too much gravel on todays 30+ loop. She was wrong.

Never ridden BH proper. Hiked it and assumed its rocky? HP was firing today. Got an early start. Seemed like lots filled early.

My favorite place to ride just got posted no trespassing and apparently it is under an agreement to be sold to a developer. Approximately 120 acres. So bummed. We pretty much just finished the entire network this year and have been now working on improvements. Not all of it will be developed, but the majority. I think one loop will remain and maybe partials here and there...but who knows. If they throw money at the other landowners we could lose it all.
One thing for sure is I'm going to poach the fuck out of it until the dozers start mowing it down. Fucking seacoast cannot keep any open land

20/20 NE - I can see clearly now
The black trails are usually super rocky doubletrack and the blue trails are a mix of rooty doubletrack and less traveled typical NE singletrack that can be found a little further off the beaten path as CantDog has posted. Parts of the black trails are very technical. Like a lot of riding destinations close to the city there are a lot of intersections and finding a good loop to keep pedaling on can be a challenge. Upside was getting 2k vert in with 12 miles riding. Cell phone pics that kinda suck from last week:

2k in 12 miles sounds killer!

Gave the mtb a rest and hit some gravel and trail. Upped my 1x front ring to 40t and felt strong. 30 miles and 3k of up.
Weather is finally getting good up here.

I was reading about that and wondered if that was your trails. Bummer dude I also read that they may not actu6have the $$ to follow through so it may be a while before saws and dozers get to work.
Is it just here or are the trails in fucking awesome shape everywhere? Between lots of riders doing lots of miles, dirtbikes everywhere and who knows how many people doing trailwork it's amazing. As it dries out there are the inevitable rocks getting knocked loose but that's pretty inconsequential in the big picture.

Trails in great shape! Anyone else find the chipmunks especially active these days? Almost suicidal as they dart in front of my tire.

My (nearly) 7y/o has been really enjoying trail rides, asking to go daily. Have gotten into a fairly regular routine of solo dawn patrol and then lunch lap with her. Nice to have these in backyard and brings new life to my regular trails riding with her

Ha yeah I rolled over a rabbit on Tuesday, pissed the little dude off pretty good. It rolled over into the rocks screaming!
Got a good ride planned for later, anyone in the area like Leo want to join? They're your old backyard trails.

I finally was convinced to upgrade my old beat up hardtail and recently picked up a new 2019 Rocky Mountain Altitude on sale from OGE. I can’t believe I dragged my feet for as long as I did, this bike is incredible! After a few days on mellower trails I’ve gotten out for rides at Chamberlain Hill and Perry Hill the last 2 days. I got by butt kicked on both climbs but I’m able to get a few lines relatively cleanly already that I was too intimidated to try on the hardtail. I’m stoked for the rest of the summer! One of me from one of the features on Joe’s.

As much as Strava sucks, I miss looking at my own times on segments. Not really surprised they're trying to monetize.

Rad. Just finally able to get more regular rides in as the kids are older and my oldest is absolutely nuts about biking.
