Friday I hit the road to do some riding in Vermont and New Hampshire. So far I have no real plan, I know I want to hit up East Burke. Also going to check out Mt. Washington.
Any suggestions on spots I should ride? Looking to kill my legs daily on epic singletrack.

Mt. Washington Valley
Ya, I got some riding suggestions for long killer MTB climbs. As a matter of fact, done 3 (car) camping/MTB trips in that area so far this year with another one scheduled for this weekend. My Bro and I usually make Zealand home base (campground = Sugarloaf #1).

Jefferson. 4th ends with a nice fast 2-3 mile fire road run down to the bar across the Street from Bretten woods. Great sights of ranges, & waterfalls (thats what they tell me, but after riding it, I spennt most of the time looking about 10 feet in front of me, so not to get discouraged at the "no sight of end climb". I believe it took us around 4 hours, but I'll confirm that too.(about 26 miles)
If sounds interesting, I'll give you more directions to trailhead as well as some other rides. Happy trails!

Ask around at the shops in North Conway. Lots of riding there. I especially enjoy the Peaked Mtn. area.

I usually travel 93N through the notch and go through Twin Mt, thus I'm on the other side of Mt Washington. However, I am looking for some other riding, what the dirt on Peaked Mtn area? Originally Posted by Dromond

Also, remember to stop and get your White Mountain National Forest Parking Permit. Although a lot of spots have a pay-drop, but...
Shirk: If heading 93N, in Lincoln, stop by the book and map store on the left (just after the Moose tour guys shop), the guy offers a lot of routes and info, but they got a great book on riding the area.Last edited by Wizard; 10-05-2004 at 05:16 PM. Reason: Loop = Cherryhill

Those trails near Waterbury from the link look fun. Just had a glance at the old truckers atlas, is that the Waterbury near the Ben and Jerky's Ice Scream factory?
Also more of a tech talk issue but any locals reocmmend a good ski shop in the Vermont/ New Hampshire region. Looking to get fitted for a pair of tele boots. Can't seem to find a single shop here in central Ontario that carries any.
