| I was just thinking......(dangerous) | TNJED®
Oct 25, 2001 9:14 AM | | I went riding last night, and it was spooky as hell. I'd love to ride with some people, but there is never anybody there.
My thoughts:
A regular Wed night 7ish ride at Callahan/Vietnam/Leominster/anywhere in that area. Actually, vietnam might be a blood bath for night riding. |
| sorry brudda... | BostonBullit
Oct 25, 2001 9:39 AM | | not a big night rider meself...usually don't escape the office until the 5:30-6 range and if I ride i just mess around da hood...you'll proly be able to rope in some of the other gang round here tho...

| but you're in the "ville".... | TNJED®
Oct 25, 2001 9:46 AM | | The Fells' Mountain Bike loop is a fantastic night ride! When I lived on Dover St in Davis, I used to ride that all the time.
Did you grow up in Somerville? |

Oct 25, 2001 9:59 AM | | born in boston and lived in somerville for 24 of my 26 years on this dustball (spent the first 2 in cambridge). I'm up by porter sq meslef. family has lived in the house for like 50yrs, and I get a good rent rate from grandma ;)
I think the fells would make a good night ride, but I would be afraid of nature nazis or drunks I think. I should try night riding...it's a whole area of expensive equipment that I haven't tried yet ;) (somewhere my wife just winced in pain)

| Is that a new SP? | pikabike
Oct 25, 2001 11:06 AM | | I lived in MA till late 1987 and don't remember that one.
What are its trails like? |
| I don't believe so.... | TNJED®
Oct 25, 2001 11:30 AM | | but I could be wrong. The trails are decent. Some single track, mostly double track. Mild elevations, with some really fast spots. A couple nice single shots through big fields. I ride it mostly because it's local, but it is nice and mellow for night riding. |
| Careful! | NCN
Oct 25, 2001 2:16 PM | | I ride there fairly often in the early AM. Some things you might want to be aware of:
1) Since it's a state park, night riding is not allowed.
2) Marlborough cops like to coop (nap) in the parking lot, which is a problem when combined with #1.
3) The lady who lives on the farm in the middle of the park has 3 Dobermans. 2 are cool, one is pretty aggressive, but hasn't bitten me yet.
