What the others said: mud season ends mid april to mid may depending on the season. the best riding is up in VT NH ME. If you are here before there is riding almost all year on Cape Cod. Soil is the sandy moraine from the last ice age so drains immediately and usually gets rain not snow in the winter. West coasters usual enjoy the Cape. you can PM me for specifics.
If you are around in mud season, lost of people go gravel riding.

No wonder you bonked, should have burned more calories yesterday:wink:
Yeah I knew that was going to be a problem but was having a total brain block as I started it and typed what I was thinking at the moment. I don't think I can change it.Quote:

We will be really close to all dirt after today just in time for spring ahead. Frozen dirt is pretty darn fun to ride and building can commence before the bugs launch.
Just bought a backup chain :tongue:
+2 for Flatten the BermQuote:

I would be skiing if my knee wasn’t still recovering from surgery- no downhill for me until next winter. Curious- how would I go through Middlesex to improve the Montpelier-Waterbury-Elmore loop? Do you mean up minister brook-molly’s supple-east hill rd?Quote:

Thanx baby bear :)
Yeah for me it's not about eliminating the berms it's about flattening them, it's about reducing them from the silliness it has become.
edited for punctuation
It should read, Flatten that Berm, why is, that, spelled with a capital t? And it should be, the, actually. As in Flatten the Curve, the fuck?
