I live an hour away and could easily take a day or 2 off

real close spots to Dalton for riding:
Kennedy Park/Yukon Ridge (lenox, Ma)
Pittsfield state forest (pittsfield, Ma)

ps:BerkshireRider would make an awesome tour guide

If you like to hike (and they have camping) and some biking
Mount Greylock linky



MMcg> what was the name of that place near Dalton that we did a nemba ride at??

If El Toninatoro makes the trip to Dalton, I'll make myself available for post-Adrenalin riding. :)

(Tony, lots of riding out here, but not much in the way of "stuff to do"...unless you want to schlep to Boston)

Other ideas.... We (SMBA) have a pretty good trail system up near me, about 1.5 hours north. 22 miles of technical singletrack. Mmmm....singletrack! :drool:

And....hopefully....Jiminy Peak (within a 1/2 hour of Dalton I think?) should be open for DHing by then as well if you feel like lugging 2 bikes with you. :devil:

Finally got our last team member to register for the race. Looks like we've got a combined age of 187 for the 5-person (open age). Where do the rest of you guys fall? Are we all gonna be in the 150-199 class or do I have an advantage because I'm riding with a bunch of old coots? :sneaky:

And, I think I am the youngest member of my team :sneaky:
Things are coming together for the teams, but not 100% yet.

I actually rode my bike 3 days last week......that is 1 day more than the last 3 weeks(only because of Ray's) training big time now!!! :rolleyes:



truth- riding was mostly urban stuff where I was trying to rip my arms out of their sockets, not any endurance stuff :dead:

You'd better get training Mr.! *cracks whip*

You wouldn't want me to be faster than you now would you :devil:

So, when are you all car-pooling out this way for a killer training ride? The snow might be gone for this weekend :D

No car pooling now :dead: :dead: :dead:

On my way to work 10pm Monday night some guy went through a red light and I plowed into him. My truck will be in the shop for the next week or 2.

On a lighter note the other guy and myself were both ok. (I never got mad, I am just happy we both walked away)

I will post a thread in the lounge with pics in the morning.
