For anyone up our way who isn't familiar with CLIMB, they are Long Island's club. They maintain and build a number trails on Long Island. Great club with a lot of great members. I've ridden with them a number of times and always had a great time. Trails down there are fun to ride, a lot of fast, flowy stuff. They don't have the super techy stuff we have, still loads of fun. I'd highly suggest going if you're down that way!
