Took the Craftworks out for the first "real" ride today. Beautiful day (70 and sunny) and the bike kicks ass. Swinger 4-way = :love: This thing rips downhill, and the WTB UST weirolves were as good in the mud as they were cornering or on the fast dry stuff.

Anyway, here are 9 random trail pics:

Yeah. This time of year makes tolerating winter worth it. Everything is finally green again.

I always enjoy riding here. It alternates between smooth and sketchy. Plus it has one of the sweetest singletrack downhills I have ridden in the northeast. The bad part is after the downhill, is a climb.

Steve you gotta give us a tour of these trails.

Would it make for a good trining ride spot for our 24hr team?

We are looking for a spot in and around Holyoke or so to all get together and ride.

Perhaps you could join us and show us the goods.

And maybe also let me take your Craftworks for a little spin.

Let me know when you would like to hit them. I would be happy to.

Probably. It's fairly close to Dalton and probably similar terrain, but I doubt there's as many rocks at Holiday farm.

Holyoke? I don't think that is very close to anyone, but I hear the Holyoke Range trails and DAR State Forest are both good riding. Never been to either. I'm always up for a road trip.

What type of get togther are you trying to organize?

Steve,

If you could guide us on the 13th I'll try to round up Team 4 Monkeys and a Baboon to hit the Yokun Ridge and connecting trails.

What say ye?

 

[TreeSaw]

Me thinks some other teams might want to poach that ride too :devil:
