unfortunately I wont be making my return to the north east until mid may but got a buddy who is looking to do some DH riding sooner rather then later.

anybody know of any places to ride in the north east or is everything still mostly snow covered?

thanks

Still too much snow here in western mass for anything DH related. I thought at least I'd be doing some trail work by now. And with a look at the 10 day forecast I wont be able to anytime soon, temps hovering around 34 for a high.

I've got a spot and I'm itching to ride it. Even if we get a few inches of snow it might even be clear by Sunday. Southern exposure/deforestation has it's benefits!

My DH trails are located in Colrain Ma and under heavy tree cover so its gonna take a long time to melt off. I was just down in the NoHo area and seems to be snow free....from what i could see through the brewery windows that is :thumb:

Now that the shop is up in Greenfield I need to come up there and help dig sometime. DH trails are darn fun.

Sure man. All are welcome to come ride or help. I know some of the other One Ghost East team riders are itching to come up and ride too. Once the trail is ready to rip I'll get everyone together and have a group DH session day. Might need to find another shuttle truck with all the riders I've got lined up now, but that will be no trouble. I'll keep ya in the loop.

Thanks for the offer but there is a metal gate that leads through a field and I'm pretty sure the bus wont fit through the gate. Most likely for early season riding I'll just walk through the field so it doesn't get torn up.

Adstock Im sure we can arrange some transport for ya. I'll send out a PM to all interested with my cell number so we can make this happen once its time.
