Boston (Uxbridge) Area Muni riders

Hello,

I’ve been riding for about a year and am looking to ride with some other
people in the area. I saw a thread from the November 04 timeframe regarding
Boston Muni action. Do you guys still get together?

Later,

I am also a Boston area rider. Now that the weather has gotten nice, we really need to get the riders together. I live south of Boston by about 20 miles. There is another rider that lives in the Newton area.

I’m also in the Boston area. I think there are actually quite a few of us scattered around here.

The best MUni I know of around here is on the Vietnam trails in Milford. It’s kind of a haul to get there from my house, but there is a group of freeride bikers who do a weekly ride there and I sometimes ride with them. They don’t go to fast and we stop and play on rocks and drops a lot.

I’m not from Boston, but I’ll be spending the summer in central NH (Laconia area) and it would be cool to ride with some people this summer… I’ll only be about 2 hours away from Boston (once I get a new hub and can ride again :frowning:

Hey. I’m from Boston too but you already know me, Alex. All it takes is something like a penny in the road to knock me of my uni so I don’t think I’m ready for any hardcore riding but it’s nice to know there are some riders in the area.

As for freeride…

Definition: Freeride refers to a type of mountain bike riding style. Freeride usually involves large drops, jumps, and manmade stunts. The trails are often accessed by shuttle or ski lift but can be pedaled as well. Freeride bikes usually have large amounts of suspension travel and are built to take a beating.

I’m in the way-greater Boston area (i.e., Maine). But I am usually in Boston a couple times a month, so if you Bostonians organize any muni, do share.

I’ve been thinking it would be a kick to ride the New Hampshire coast b!ke route from Maine to Mass … with the famously short NH coastline, it should come in under 20 miles, very 29erable. Riding a uni “across the state” would be good karma. Does this sound interesting to anyone else?

Having done 13+ miles in one day on a 24" muni it definitely sounds doable… Is there a rideable road down the coast though?

There is an official coast route for b!cycles, but I believe it’s a mix of path and road riding. Is there a New Hampshire unicyclist on the board familiar with the area?

Someone who engages in freeriding… :slight_smile: Freeriding is a type of mountainbiking that is synonmus with drops, jumps and wooden structures and pathways.
