I have 2 friends that moved from TX to Maine some months ago. I saw them last night, and they are looking for peeps and spots to ride. Can anyone PM me some numbers and names to pass along to them. Shane and Heather are very cool folks. I told them about the monkey, but also told Shane that I would try to help him get the hookup with you guys. I even told them about JBP, but I don't think they want to pick him up at the rest home. :D

Have 'em pm Rockland on the :monkey: for Maine, and if they come Vermont way, Jersey Dave or I can hook them up.

I'll give you the old folks home, c**t! :D

Jersey Dave ? You think he would allow outsiders near his trails ? the ones he spends 10 gazillion man hours working on ?

could always have them contact jollytime in the Kingdom. or me if they ever come down to Nam

Oh and Yeah , Old folks home ? I don't think so , Sports Medicine/Orthopedic/rehab -- Yup that would be him

Making moss sad in New Haven, Vermont
Hard words aside, I know a bunch of the Stowe riders. They work their ass off and ride likewise. They're a big part of the reason that Vermont has asked VMBA to assume trail corridor management for the state.

Ride with them before you write them off.

My latest physical therapy was racking 40 servers and a couple of SANS.

Dancin' over rocks n' roots!
I'll second the motion for contacting Rockland...he was quite helpful when I was in Maine last fall and needed a good local place to ride. If they're ever in the Saratoga Springs area, have them contact me and we'll show them some great trails around here too!

Sorry but after my Dealings with Jersey Dave I would not ride with him ! ( and you know me I ride with just about anybody! ) I'm sure they do good work, but part of being a Trail advocate is TACT!

That's quite a change. (Weather-wise and culturally). What part of Maine are they living in? :confused:

Actually, no. I grew up in the Syracuse, NY area. My mom was from Maine and my parents moved up there to live 9 years ago. I do spend a lot of time there each year, like this past weekend. Maybe that's where the confusion is? It was beautiful. 74, sunny, and no humidity for the 4 days I was there. Too bad I hurt my ribs at 'Nam last Thursday, and couldn't do any riding. :mumble:

Anyway, where in Maine are they living? It doesn't make sense to suggest they ride in the Camden Hills if they are living in York, or a simialar scenario. :confused:

He is happy to show ANYBODY the Stowe trails...just don't be an a$$hole and trash 'em when they are a muddy mess. They work a ton to legalize and maintain their network up there.
So Splat...how much trail work have you done this year?

Dealings? You've actually met and talked with JD in person?
If it is internet banter you using to form your opinions of people...well thats just sad.
You are missing out on some of the best trails in VT and an excellent laid back rider to show them to you.

Only about 30-40 this year. I started WW Kayaking and have been spending more time doing that.There isn't allot of interest in my corner of the Berkshires. For someone who claims to do allot of trailwork you come across quite sarcastic about the TM done by JD. Seems you 2 are very involved in maintaining your respective bike scenes and you wouldn't be so judgemental.

AND..the point of this thread is to help out some Maine riders find some trails....Johney pointed out VT and JD, let the Maine riders form their own opinions and don't throw your "message board character assesement" down their throats.
Sorry for the thread hijack...carry on.

Man - still no Shane in here, but it turned into a little bitch fest. I can't say that I know splat or jersey dave, but trail stewardship is a thankless job. If you are not a steward, you should never judge one.
