KT's new trail leads to logride


The village trails in East Burke often get overlooked. They are not a easily made part of a loop until KT's new trail, Burnham Down, was opened this last weekend. Now, as you exit from descending Burnham just cross the street and enter the village trails through the park. It was on a recent ride through here that I discoversd a large pine had fallen right in  the middle of the trail. The next time I rode the same section I found, much to my delight, that some industrious individuals had transformed the obstacle into a log ride. 
The high level of craftsmanship was evident in features such as the dovetail joinery. The responsible parties are obviously highly skilled carpenters.

On Friday ideRide will be attending  the 2009 Mountain Bike summit. Most people agree, Whistler has done it right and now we can build, using their knowledge and experience, our own dream here on the east coast. 
Big shout out to Patrick at VMBA for making it happen.

Its official, spring is here! After hitting up some bone dry single track on Rastaman and the Desert at the Perry Hill trails in Waterbury we headed up to the Stowe Bike Park and found Ron &  Jason from iride bike shop, young local ripper dylan and a few other disciples of dirt. They were dialing 'em in and had a few sets running with plans for full operation in the next couple of weeks. These guys take their jumps seriously and the transitions looked steep and smooth, as usual.

Jason informed me that they will have a weekly "dig day"  anyone interested in helping can inquire at iride in Stowe. A ton of work goes into these jumps and they could use the help.
