- Trailhead: Main entrance to park, parking lot left
- Riders: Patrick, OMMB
- Distance: about 4 rocky miles
- Weather: perfect
- Temp: 77
- Trail Conditions: rocky, with some rocks, and some boulders, some bridges, some rocks, some roots but mostly rocks (get the idea?)
- Technical Level: Difficult, this trail is definitely not for beginners
- Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: Strange sight...I came around a corner and witnessed Pat balancing on his front wheel, staring down at the ground. That only lasted for a few milliseconds before a professional slam down! What started out as a very slow developing endo, ended in a very rude straight down dismount. One "Oh Sheet" for Patrick!
Notes: This ride was kick-ass (as in ass kicking, kicked ass, ass breaking, etc). We looped the single track off Bent Rim Trail (now that's an appropriate trail name) which presented more rocks and boulders than a dry river bed! This trail was very challenging (but isn't that the fun part of the sport?), we were pretty kicked in a very short time (1 mile of rocks = 23 miles of tar). Kind of embarrassing since we only covered a very small part of the park. I spent a lot of time here when growing up in the neighboring town of Dartmouth, but covering the miles of trails was a bit easier on a dirt bike!
Tidbits: If you want a more leisurely ride, stick to the double-track. Nice pine forests and sandy conditions similar to those found on Cape Cod. Don't miss "The Ledge".
Happy Trails,
OMMB
