During our Salisbury ride a group on the trail told us to check out bikevmb.com. So when we got back to the hotel, I did and saw a post for sourlands that looked pretty dam sweet. Short ride but super technical, there is a god! We happened to ride here on boy scout day but besides the traffic on the trail I had no complaints. The start of the trail was buff & rooty from traffic, triple track. Once we got into the network it widened, and started getting technical here and there. Seems the trail was either buff or techy, not much in between. Some nice boardwalks to help during the mud season were found throughout the system at lower elevations. The main attraction here is what they call boulderama or boulder city I think. Nice technical trail through boulders with some nice extra curricular lines on the sides. PMD liked this place so much she wanted to do another lap (after 10 days straight of riding).. I opted for the short ride extension to find my helmet visor and make a log ride. The only thing this place is lacking is a few more miles which may possibly be in the works some day soon?? Loops - |
