KONA BICYCLES MTB ADVENTURE RIDE AT THE CHARLEMONT TRAIL SYSTEM
DATE
8/9/15 9:00am - 3:30pm
Join Pioneer Valley NEMBA for their Mountain Bike Adventure Ride at the Charlemont Trails System on August 9th, 2015.
The ride will begin and end at the Warfield House banquet parking lot. Charlemont Trails System, is a relatively new MTB destination set on both sides of the picturesque Deerfield River Valley and straddling Route 2 - less than 20 miles west of Greenfield. Most of the trails are hilly, but we'll do our best to keep the shorter loops with the climbing on open dirt roads and double track. The easiest loop will consist of a long gravel road descent then climb to a beautiful meadow. From the meadow riders will descend a gently flowing single track to a large plateau with a nice network of linked non-technical trails. Following this section, riders will climb a double track back to the meadow then descend and climb back to Warfield House. The Middle Loop will begin as the easiest loop, but after returning to the meadow, riders will ride the upper east side single-track consisting of Game Trail, Sweet 16, and the CTS Signature Enduro segment - Red Zone to Rice Brook. After Rice Brook, riders will climb back to Warfield House. The Long Loop will add the Warfield Zoar Connector, TV Tower, Lost and Happy Days to the mix. For those who need a bigger ride, the Hero Option will break south off the Long Loop at the start of TV Tower and instead loop down to Zoar via West Side, Out of Gas, and finally climbing back up to the Connector on King Philip's. Once back at the TV Tower intersection they'll continue with the Long Loop.

After all riders are through with their rides, but not before 1:00 PM, they are encouraged to present their NEMBA wrist band at Thunder Mountain Bike Park for a 50% off afternoon ticket. That's 4 hours of lift accessed Mountain Bike riding at the hottest destination in the East for $15.00!
