Well? Kingdom Trails? Other ideas?

Yes to KT. We are thinking about visiting Asheville NC in October though.

Hmmm... now we're talking. Internal combustion.

 

[Erik Timmerman]

I was thinking the same thing the other day, Either KT or Vallee Bras du Nord.

We have a 15 bike fleet of Scott ebikes if you choose Stowe.

Since I have zero experience, sounds good to me. I just want to pass Tony on the way up.

Now this I understand..

KT was decent on Saturday. A tad soft & wet in a few areas, but really quite nice, i think it was about 75% open. Unfortunately my knees weren’t enjoying it and I’m still hobbling today.

 

[Josh Matta]

KTA would be sick.

Might have to actually ride my MTB......

I am down to show my local maze off as well, which is about 50 mins from Kingdom.

We can even do cookouts at my house if later in the year and the bugs are gone.

 

[Tony S]

Vallee Bras du Nord.

Say more.

EVERYONE is going to pass me on the way up, the way my season and burrito consumption are going so far. But I'm still game. Endorphins are endorphins.

 

[Tony S]

Sugarloaf? North Conway?

No one ever wants to drive all the way to the Loaf. Too bad, as the riding is good. Apparently North Conway has put together some really nice new(ish?) stuff on the east side, but I haven't ridden it. Which is stupid because it's close enough. Putting it on the list.

They quote Mike Thomas on their homepage so it must be good.

Nope. I’ll be there with you. I haven’t been riding much at all due to recovering from injuries and time constraints.

You might want to keep Stowe as an option. While I enjoy KT, I find it much buggier than what we have here in Stowe. Plus if people are traveling up for this there are more lodging & food options here than in Burke.
