Nam I am
Its thursday Night, so that means ride night.

Well I had a Dental Appoint ment today at 4:00 im Medfield, well that means only one thing to do , first we go over to our friends at Town and Country Bicycles , which is closing and has 25% off every thing ( they are retiring ). I got a tube and a fanny pack. but we also Park in there parking lot. no problem. As berkshire rider as hucking off the bike shops wall, the owner says to him, just rember no claims against my insurance , you fall ,I'll bury you in the basement , Steve hit it again :)

so we take off from Medfield center and went down the road a bit to a trail head. as soon as we got in ther ewas a Table top ( litterally ) bridge going across the creek. SloMoJo fell in, and I missed it. but here he is doing on the 2nd try



in rocky woods , while berkshire rider was changing a flat , On a bridge that actually crosses a pond.



now we are into Hale reservation and this is a New trail we just cut 2 weeks ago



On the new trail IF_rider has a Little moment.



Berkshire rider on a spine.



And stil on the new trail it claimed slomojo , did a hard endo coming off of this rock. 2nd time he made it.



Getting darker as we are headed back , on a down hill in Naonet woodlands



This is sort of a Never never land we were on here going from rocky woods back to the cars .



Quo-fan approacing a small staircase to get back into the parking lot we were in.



finally Berkshire rider same place .

Hey Splat, we've decided that next time that you lead a ride like this, we're gonna fill your tires with water. :) Seriously, it was great fun. Always love the Thursday night rides.
just let some air out of his Duke fork - that'll slow him down and make him a bit more cautious out there. :)

It never closed . But ....

You now need to get a yearly Trail Pass for hale/Noanet cost about $15
ah, that's probably why i never went back...too far to drive to ride trails you have to pay for...too many other/better options for me.

Maybe I'd try that last one that we passed on if it was light, and I had more travel, and bigger rotors.

They sere fun down hills, too bad we had to pedal up them too.

In hell. Welcome!
Bump. Rode with a friend at Noanet / Hale today. Awesome trails, we hit (among others) a new trail near power lines @ Hale and all I could think of was that's how they should be built and not the IMBA-ish crap built everywhere. Are there any (ex)monkeys behind that majic? Kudos to the builders!

Thank you. My friend lives in Dover and rides there rather often so I hope I'll have a chance to experience those trails when not covered with snow, too. :)
