Last Minute Downhill Mountain Biking

Downhill mountain biking was a lot of fun.  And although I did not get any other GO members to join, I did find two very nice guys to bike down the mountain several times with.  Hope to do this again and give people more notice next time!

I've decided to do downhill mountain biking and thought I would open this up as a last-minute group event.

Powder Ridge is the ski mountain in Middlefield, and this is the second year for fall downhill mountain biking.  The trails are moderate to strenuous.  Safety gear is mandatory.  The lifts take us and the bikes up to the top, and attendants are there to help.  Lift passes are $28 for the whole mountain and $18 for lower mountain access and snake runs.  Mountain bikes can also be rented for $65 for the Verb Expert and $85 for the Fury.  

Bring plenty of water and some snacks.  The lodge will also be open for more substantial food.

Powder Ridge is also the only New England mountain to have synthetic snow for skiing, snowboarding, and tubing.  For those who would rather do that, come join me on the mountain, or we can plan a different GO event for this activity.
