Sunday January 6th marked the first Mtb ride of the 2008 calendar year. The ride produced a small turnout of participants, 2; however wintertime in New England has a funny way of doing that. We rode the red tag trail in Freetown State Forest, which to our surprise has undergone some serious changes, particularly with respect to tree removal (see attached ride pictures). Fortunately for us, the technical rock garden sections that litter the trail still had plenty to offer in terms of tricky navigation. Upon exiting the trail, we found ourselves a bit lost but we did eventually make our way to the ranger station followed up by a small fire-road jaunt out onto high street. I'm writing this post the morning after with the typical aches and pains that 3 months off the bike brings... but strangely enough I can wait to get back out there next week.
Another picture of the tree loss...
