Matno,
we are close by, and we should get together and ride. we've talked about it before, but let's do it this time.

Absolutely. This spring is my last chance to have a somewhat flexible schedule. When the weather warms up, we'll be in touch for sure!;D Heck, what am I saying? We don't have to wait - it's been pretty warm already. (Except today). Where do you suggest we go? I've heard of a lot of places, but I've only actually ridden a handful of trails in Westchester. Let's get some ideas going...

I like how a pic of Blue Crush ended up on that site!!

What better way to represent the brand? I hope you don't mind that I used your bike as the "poster child" of the forum... 8)

Mat,

Westchester is a bit of a hike, but here on LI there are a few choices.

mere minutes from my house are
a. Nassau-Suffolk Greenbelt (not very technical, two-way trail, runs North and South)
b. Triangle Trail at Stillwell Park in Syosset (about a 5 mile loop, has some real technical sections, could do a combo of this and the Greenbelt)

further out on L.I. (Rocky Point) is the Rocky Point trail . its about a 20 mile loop, one needs DEC permit. I can tell you how to get it, its free!! the only problem is that Rocky Point opens in late spring. I can get date. Rocky Point is, by far, the best trail on LI, and the one I recommend the most.

thanks for using Blue Crush, it makes me feel good.

Doh!
I've just shown everyone on the evilnet where to nick a 5500 from!



Seriously though Guys, we are telling the whole world where some seriously nice bikes live............
I've put my marker on my town name not exactly my street.
If any of you guys ever want to meet up, I'll be more than happy to give exact directions!

A site I used to be a member of, The GT4OC (Celica GT4 Owners club) , used to have a similar facility on their website, built in, and I think could only be accessed by logged in members.

I have adjusted my MArker,there was already a "link" for Wellington,Wellington(sic) NZ.I think i am somewhere close now....cant go anycloser than a pretty blurry pic.Cant really see any streets,but can see the Stadium.I could probably move the marker to where we had a beer Dan,or where you stayed.

A good place to meet would be in mid November where one weekend every year they hold the Real Ale Wobble in Llanwrtyd Wells, Wales. It's a non-competitive 'race' in the welsh forests where every so often en route there's a pitstop with Real Ale in barrels to help you on your way! Usually about 300 mountain bikers turn up. Then in the evenings you sup beer to live music etc in this charming small town in the middle of bumblef*ck.



It's about £20 to enter and you can camp in the playing fields. Here's a link: http://llanwrtyd-wells.powys.org.uk/event8thalewobble.htm or http://www.virtualbike.co.uk/displayarticle7.html . For that matter just type Real Ale Wobble into google or your search engine of choice. I've been going with my mates since 1997. It's great craic.

Haven't seen any new additions to the map lately, so I thought I'd bump it up to the top again. Seems like there have been quite a few new posters on the forum lately...
