Head down to the loops at Pittstown forest after it dries up a bit. Better trails and terrain than Grafton.

The climb from Pittstown back up to Grafton =

That lil' Ulmer in the pic with you?

Yeah, there is some good terrain there. Would love to build but have no time, plus watch out for landowners/loggers with shotguns. There are currently 4 ways down right down from Grafton to Pittstown now:

1. Overlook trail to "Woop Dee Doo" - got mangled due to logging. It was an awesome trail, though....
2. Ward Hollow Road: stratght down! some flat spots, lots of large wet rocks. Basically a stream bed this time of year.
3. Looney Hollow: you get this off RPI trail, not bad, but could use a lot of work.
4. Couch or Kautz Hollow: I use this as a dh trail, with a 20 minute push back up. Wide open, fast and loose rocks.

If you get down to Pittstown, check out the singletrack there (*coughcough, I helped build itcoughcough*...)

[dmilkman589]

jump isnt to great but the ground was soft...yea and my tight long sleeve dont look to hot either

 

[Jim Mac]

The ground is also soft because you're probably landing into a pile of shotgun shells. FYI, that drop is in the middle of the firing range!

Best time I had at the firing range there was checking out some lady pulled up with her truck, blasting off her Glock into the slope while blaring really bad country music!

Ahhh, Pittstown SF!
