Northeast TW mountain bike meetup at Kingdom Trails (VT) - June 25-26

Ya I went to Landries in westboro. My daughter was at her swim team just up the street. I popped in there and sat on a few different bikes including the Salsa.

 

Okay. I wasnt going to get a new bike but I decided on one so I figured I'd get it in now before this trip.

 

I've been geeking out and watching videos about Kingdom Trails on YouTube. I'm getting excited!

 

Just wait until you've ridden that snazzy new bike up here. You're not going to want to leave.

 

You got mud on those new tires yet?

 

I bet!

I haven't gotten it yet. I'm picking it up next weekend.

 

Fully understand the excitement! Let me or @Pugga know if you wanna get the tires muddy around the area!

*Edited as I see when you take delivery

 

Sounds good. I plan to go to Foxboro and Upton as soon as I pick up my bike.

 

Where in Upton, the State Forest?

 

Yes

 

The reason I haven't picked up my bike yet is because I bought a bike for my wife too.

 

I was going to say, i`d be going nuts to get that thing on the trails!

 

@mach1man001 Nothing against Foxy or Upton, but IMO there are a lot of much better riding spots near you, in both MA and RI. Check out the NEMBA site for some other places to check out: https://nemba.org/trails I've probably ridden a lot of the ones in your area, having been the president for Blackstone Valley NEMBA for 10 years, so if you have any questions about a particular spot, feel free to ask me. And despite what you've heard Vietnam in Milford (aka Upper Charles Headwaters, is not as gnarly as it sounds. I can even make some introductions to a couple of friends who ride all over the area regularly, if you'd like some company to ride with. These are folks I've ridden with for 15+ years now, and they're a great bunch of people who'd welcome you with open arms and be happy to show you around.

 

Vietnam used to be a lot more complex but it's become a lot more accessible in the past 5 ish years.

Also there's the Swansea library trails. Not sure what they're also called but I park at the school down the road on the weekends instead of the library. There's a double track trail head in the back of the school and you can get to the library from there it's like 1/2 mile.

Plus - I can join

 

That would be great to meet the other people! The reason for going to Foxboro and Upton is for the loop trails. I need to get in shape!

 

Once you have the bike we can take a spin around west hill dam in Uxbridge if you’re up for it. No heavy technical sections and has a pretty good flow to it over there. Foxboro has some pretty rough rock gardens and lung busting climbs (Moto trails).

 

Sounds good! I've been to West Hill Dam before but only to hike it. I've never been biking there.

 

While I get people here are spread out all over, looks like we could find a decent localized central place to do a couple rides prior to Vermont? I’m free most Saturday mornings - and am free to travel all over to make it happen.

I know a couple people here, but would be nice to meet prior to a weekend camp trip
