17 rides logged here!

Ok...it's November 11 and here's a lame bail out post......between September 11th and October 25th, I rode on Sep 11, 12, 17, 18, 20, 23, 24, 26, 27, 30 and Oct 1, 4, 8, 10, 13, 22, 24.

So I obviously have had a hard time keeping up with my rides.   What I plan to do, starting with this ride, is post the link to my track and maybe some pertinent notes.  This will at least help me keep track of ride history.

Here's the first of my "Tweeter version" rides...

Stowe Vermont Day 2 - Ride 2 - Sterling Forest

Pretty interesting area. Has a self guided historical hike route if you feel so inclined.  Also a nice gorge to hike along for some sight seeing.  The bike trails were a bit shabby in areas and markers were a bit tough to follow.  But Stowe Mtn Bike Club is working this area and I'm sure it will be just as well maintained as the other areas they oversee.   Also hosts the site of the yearly pond jump event.

Check out the slide show...

Stowe Vermont Day 2 - Ride 1 - Adam's Camp

• Place: Adam's Camp, Stowe VT
• Trailhead: Ranch Brook Rd

Notes: This is excellent loop tucked in an area just north of and shared with the Trapp Family Trails. Maintained by the Stowe Mtn Bike Club and well marked on their map.  A very steep climb at the trailhead, but after that just continue up Derby (take a left at the bench) to Hardy Haul.  Take either of the Double Bypass routes to Ranch Camp, take a right back up to Kimmer's...my favorite trail here.  Kimmer's takes you back to the bench near the trailhead.  This loop offers a great variety, including climbs and bridges. Loves it!

Stowe Vermont Day 1 - Cady Hill Forest

Notes:  Jesse and I escaped up to Stowe to take care of some trail scoping...our first ride was Cady Hill, aka Town Loops.  This place is nicely maintained by the Stowe Mountain Bike Club.  There are some new areas still under construction and I unintentionally got stuck on one of them heading back to the trailhead.  Other than avoiding the new construction... ALL GOOD!  I will be back!

Tidbits:  Didn't get a good GPS signal at first, so the track is manually filled in as best I recall.  I recommend buying the 10 dollar map from local shops in Stowe.  Trails ridden were Climb to Squirrel Land and Green Chair.  Then Arynn's Loop, down Bridgey, up Zog's, then Schween Haus Loop (Inner).   I returned on Cady Hill Road but ran into the new construction area...connected over to Arynn's Loop with some hike-a-bike.  Returned to parking lot via Green Chair and Bear's Trail (fun downhill!).

My edited track:

New stuff.

Break time!

Very well marked area.

What's a Zog?

Working end of the trail building business!

Camp is ready for the night's rain!

Yay September...time to find that lung brush!

Notes:  Yes the air is dry, the trails are dry, and time to build up the lungs (and legs) again.  Out with Jesse at Village Park.  There were reports of damaged trails but I didn't see too much of it.   Although the jump on Ridge was smooshed.  I do know someone that chased a couple kids out after catching them putting on logs a trail.  Weird kids.

Let the biking begin...
