Yesterday, I decided to the Tour de Talcott. Personally, I think Trans-Talcott sounds better-- more Kraftwerkian. I rode this section the opposite direction of the way I usually do and found this cute little swath of singletrack that I must have ridden by 100 times.

Nothing else really happened yesterday, besides the riding of the bike. There were quite a few other mountain bikers out, so I didn't get lonely. I think at Penwood I saw the guy who writes that Charlie Rides a Bike blog. I don't know what he looks like, but I recognized his bike. His group was intense, unlike when I need to walk up a hill with my singlespeed, these guys run up them.
Oh, I did discover another new trail at Penwood, but I didn't explore it. There appears to be a new green-blazed trail that runs between the creek/road and the really, really hard to ride section of the Metacomet. It spurs off that little section of singletrack that cuts away from the creek/road. Anybody ever ride it? Where does it go?

It also appears that the creek/road trail had some maintenance done to it. Thanks who ever did that.
So, yeah, it was a good day, but I suppose any day is when it's sunny and you get to mountain bike for 3 1/2 hours is.
Monument to a fallen hang glider?
Good stuff!
ReplyDeleteI also just discovered that green blazed trail at Penwood. Not sure who built it, but it looks pretty new. It runs from the trail NEMBA built about 7 years ago off of the no-name trail on the Bloomfield side, up the mountain to the peak just above Wintonbury road.
ReplyDeleteYo, can I borrow your bike sometimes?
