Any obvious patterns they seem to follow that would be easier to predict while refreshing noaa?

There are couple nearby areas to Stowe that dont EVER close down technically.Quote:

Rode hardwick today and it was more ego bruising than trail. Hardwick is the biggest and most fun out of the ones that do not close IMO.

I highly recommend checking this place out if you ever in the area. Has some mini freeride features, and some trails have some damn good natural flow.
With that said Cady Hill is opened back up this morning....in my opinion the machine built trail should have never closed. I might go check it out for my afternoon pedal
Weather’s been tough lately. Humid and slick this morning but at least the sun was out.

Truth. Maine has been absolutely repulsive. 24 out of the last 32 days have had rain. It looks like we may see a break this week. I haven’t been able to get out since Memorial Day weekend.Quote:

Dirt was dry today at my local (Cadys Falls Nursery) but the roots/rocks/wood were still extremely slippery with nearly 100 percent humidity. The bridge before the little drop just felt like it would let go so easily. It so weird to me that the dirt could honestly still use more moisture, as many turns go turned to kitty litter back in may and it still has not really recovered.
I’m here to rub in the fact that Bentonville, AR was dry and delightful today. Eat it suckahs!! (Meanwhile, my basement is probably flooding, so F me).

Got out during the clear days at Kingdom Trails. Hot as hell and mostly shepherding my 6 and 8 year old on easier trails, but finally got to ride Black Bear and I can say that trail is bonkers good. 10 minutes or so of pure bliss.
Glad I got out for a long ride Saturday before the rain closures though I did get caught 4 miles from home Sunday in a thunderstorm, good times..

How are all the VT mags doing? My family says it’s wild back home. Hopefully everyone is safe.
I know Foam is doing a fundraiser to help those impacted. Are there any cycling clubs doing something similar? I’d love to support if possible
I live on a hill. my house+farm is fine. We actually had more issues with a micro burst that flooded our basement and neighbors house last week with 2.2 inches that feel in 25 minutes. but the big rainfall on the 10th did nothing here.Quote:

As for MTBing I have 4 locals CFN(10 minute) Cricket Hill(10 minutes) Hardwick(30minutes) Cady Hill(25 minutes) , hardwick is currently about an hour away on class 4 roads because route 15 is washed out. First world problems though.
it was good to be a hill billy this last week though.
VT 100 was cancelled. Sounds like things are far from back to normal...

I’m spending next week on Cape Cod in Eastham, MA, and planning on doing lots of early morning rides. Does anyone have experience/feedback regarding the unpaved roads on the east side of Eastham/Welfleet/Truro? I’m trying to figure out whether 32mm road tires would be adequate.
We'll be riding dh at Killington Sunday if anyone's interested ask for change.
Did anyone else ride dh here?

Anyone riding the ESC enduro at Sugarbush this weekend?
I have not done those specific roads but unpaved roads out there are typically sandy.Quote:

Any mags familiar with the cross New Hampshire trail? I hadn’t heard of it until today. 83 miles with approx 3k of climbing that starts in either Bethel, ME or Woodsville, NH. A mix of gravel (mostly) and some road linking it together. Curious if anyone has ridden it. Also could be a fun meet-up event
That sounds interesting. Mostly old rail trails, like the cross vt trail?

Funny you mention it, I hadn't until this past weekend when a buddy told me he's planning a 3 night 4 day trip on it in August.Quote:

I’ve been ticking off a few of the VT bikepacker routes this summer. I highly recommend the gravel growler and Mad taco challenge.
Growler highlights
