The wife and kids away for a couple of weeks visiting the in-laws. I took advantage of the one free weekend I get a year and did a road trip with my bud Paul. We headed out Friday afternoon on a trip to ride in three New England favorites, Fort Rock, rides in North Conway and Lynn Woods. Out of the three, I had ridden only Lynn before, Paul had ridden none.
I took the seats out of the van and we loaded up our gear. Dang even three days means a LOT of gear. Apparently I was not the only one with a free weekend. The highways were jammed. That's the last time I head up to NH/MA during a summer weekend. Despite the "rush hour" and unbelievably humid weather, we had a great time.
First up we went to Fort Rock in Exeter, NH
The aptly named Fort Rock is wicked technical but tons of flow. We were lucky enough to meet up with a rider, Richard, who knew the trails, he showed us around for a couple of hours. Mighty nice of him! The trails there are very nicely maintained. We did almost 15 miles at a decent clip, though the heat was starting to get to me at certain points. While we were doing ok finding trails on our own, it certainly is helpful to have someone there who knows the ins and outs.
