Tunner ME and Bradbury Mountain

Two weekends ago I made my way up to Maine again and was able to ride Tunner? Turner? Mountain and Bradbury. The whole week it poured rain and happened to ease up enough to ride. The rain made everything very wet, leafy and slippery. Turner seems it would be an awesome ride/work out without leaves. Its a nice semi technical ride to the top of a mountain with a fun decent back down. When we were just before the top the usually trail was blocked off and someone that day had put in some fun twisting trails ready for packing!

The next day I rode Bradbury Mountain's B12 race loop solo. Still wet from all the rain but such a fun loop. I don't feel like talking about this past weekends trip to Bradbury mountain... I took a nice face dive off a bridge into a swamp. It was deep enough I had to fish my bike out of the water and wade my way back onto land... lucky for me it was like 70 degrees.

Advice: ride bradbury mountain
Request: compete in the Cold Crank Challenge on Dec. 4th at Fort Rock

Last ride at KT before they close!

On the Friday before Kingdom Trails closed for the season, me and two friends drove up to get one more ride in! It was a gross rainy day although the guy at the KT office said blue skies and 80 ;) It started to rain hard when we started our ride but by the end it was just cloudy. There is nothing like getting muddy and wet. It just makes the ride all that much more rugged. If your gonna get dirty, you have to get  really dirty! I can't wait until they re-open in the spring.
