Most definitely! I prefer the single track like over in Russell Mills (Chelmsford) or middlesex fells down north of Medford. Last summer I was out about twice a week after work when the weather cooperated.

Awesome! I am hoping to get out more this year and get in better shape. I haven't been to russell mills, fell is nice but seems to get over crowed at times. Where else is there nice single track?

Burlington Landlocked Forest is nice, FOMBA out in Auburn NH is awesome, and Yudicky Farm in Nashua isn't terrible. I'll just be maintaining a bike I've owned for 12 years now. It's seen quite a bit of trail time and needs to be replaced, but a guy can only have so many hobbies.

That's cool I worked in a bike shop in highschool and can help you out fixing it up or getting a solid used one from a local shop near me. Nice high end bikes for way cheap I got my barley used Santa cruse nomad for 60% of retail I think it was originally 4500 or so and paid 1300 plus its a 2013.

I haven't but it seems like a place to try. Isn't the KTM a dirt bike? They make nice dirt bikes but i don't think they make mountain bikes.

I used to. It's been a few years. And my bike needs a little work. But I'd be up. Used ride Vietnam in Milford, Cutler park in Newton a few times and did the Fells once.

Sweet we should be able to get a group when the snow clears! I wish I had a dirt bike but I shouldn't spend anymore money after all these new jeep parts... Well maybe after I get my tax rebate hehehe :dance:

Depending on how money works out between now and may, I'm going to try to get a second hand 29 hardtail of some sort.
