Jul 12, 2002 7:44 PM | | I live in NH and there are many excellent "East Coast" type rides within a 1 hour radius.
My personal favorite - maybe because it's 5 minutes from work?? - is Fort Rock in Exeter. Very rocky, rooty, challenging singletrack with the odd fun stunt and bridge to boot.
It's also super accessible - in fact, Hwy 101 splits the park in half.. there's a bridge underneat the Hwy that connects the two.
For a bit tamer ride, with more ST routes to choose from - is the "FOMBA" trials near Lake Massabessic just outside of Manchester. Again, very easy to access - it's just off of Hwy 101 before it intersects I-93.
In southern Maine, the classic ride is Mt. Aggamenticus in York. But beware - there are so many trails it is VERY easy to get lost. Best bet is to hook up with someone who knows the way - perhaps a local bike shop from the area or someone on MTBR! I've never ridden there, but I've hiked a bit - looks like fun.
And, if you want one of the premier East Coast MTB experiences, get thee to Lynn Woods! Located just off Hwy 1 in Lynn, Mass is some of the sickest, narliest riding I have ever seen. Giant granite boulders (East Coast slickrock!) provide the long travel set a bounty of hucking opportunities. Don't worry - there's always an "out" to ride around the tough stuff (that's what I do).
That should get you started. There's plenty more - Bear Brook park comes to mind in NH - just start poking around.
