NE 2024- Pedalrooski!

Let's roll mags.

I've been cheating on VT, riding a lot in Keene to start the season; but just yesterday we opened our trials (all 2 of 'em) here in Jamaica and I plan on checking out the new stuff at Raptor Lane tomorrow.

Word word people- get to shreddin'!

Been riding the closed fire roads in the quiet part of Acadia. Lots of washouts and downed trees making for interesting hike-a-biking.





Still pretty and feels good. Yay endorphins!

Nice evening ride down to the shore…



And some Roubaix sections on the wayback roads…

NEWS FLASH: Cochran’s is still hilly as fuck.

But riding well, preston loop and some upper trails open.

Acadia opened Carriage Roads for cycling. Pedaled the single into the hills for some views.



So nice that I broke out the Albino winter legs

I'm loving the 1, 2, 3 bike quiver show off rides, sc. Keep 'em coming. I know there are more cycles on that back wall.

Ha… gotta get ‘em all dusted off and up and rolling. I’m going to try to ride at least 3 evenings a week until November.

Has anyone here pedaled the Super 8 bikepack route in VT? I am eyeing for my August adventure. Wondering about bike choice.
I have a newish Giant Defy Advanced. "Endurance" bike that could fit gravel tires.
And I have a SC Tallboy set up with 2.4 tires for singletrack.
Which would you set up? I have some bikepacking stuff, lots of UL backpacking stuff. I would need a few specific things like a rack or seatpost rack thing.
Or should I get a hardtail? I would love something like a Trek 1120 but I really shouldn't.

Right now I am leaning towards the SC tallboy and getting a good seatpost bag that plays well with the dropper. I have a handlebar roll thing. A few little bags and a small backpack and I should be good.

^^no experience with that ride so can't comment on bike choice. Can't say enough about how handy Salsa everything cages are, you can clamp them to a susp fork with a little creativity

Oh I like those! Did you get regular or HD version?
I like that I can move it from bike to bike
You just strap them to the fork lowers?

Go with the mtb. “Trail” gets hairy after Burke. I tired with a gravel bike and popped all my tubes before IP. Tried again with my Cutthroat and had a great time. I am planning to ride it in June, will let you know what the south loop is like.

Moved a year ago and have been exploring Stony Brook in West Roxbury—super fun and tech and can add on blue hills not too far away. Great spot to have a 5 min pedal from the house.

Not New England but rode a few days outside Seattle, holeeeee sheeeit. Amazing.
