- Trailhead: exit 7 parking lot
- Riders: OMMB
- Distance: 5.6+ miles (some GPS holes)
- Temp: 80's
- Weather: perfect
- Trail Conditions: perfect
- Technical Level: off my chart
- Whoops, Yikes, and Oh Sheets: too much hiking required, not much risk
Notes: Since I just HAD to figure out where this "hidden" trail was, I set out to where I figured it was based on Pete the RI NEMBA president's directions. The trailhead is at the top of a slick rock, I knew of two in that area. Found the hidden "Nuts" trail on the second rock searched (far right on the Google Track). It's a VERY different trail than all in BR...different because it requires more hike-a-bike than pedaling! The trail is extremely technical in respect to the balance and slow ride control required...it's more of a
trials ride than typical trail ride. If you want to hike a nice trail in the middle of your BR ride...try this one.
Tidbits: According to Pete, it's the hardest "engineered" trial in RI. I'm not sure I know anyone that could ride the whole trail without issue (maybe Dr. E could come close). There's an offer for a case of beer for the first person to do it...hasn't happened yet.
Happy Trails,
OMMB
