Ridden Trail: Every few months
|  |
Reviewed by: vinski
,
Cross Country Rider Summary: This is a really great climb to the fire tower. I have tried to explore some other trails but one time came to a no trespass sign and another time followed a trail that dumped me out on a very unhappy landowners' back yard. All in all a great place to ride, but if you go off the main trail be prepared to double back, or better yet, bring a friend who is familiar with the area. I've heard the montpelier group MAMBA helps to maintain these trails and often leads rides in the area. They are @ http://www.bikemamba.org/ Recommended Route: Stick to the main trail to the fire tower.

, from East Barre Summary: It's hard to describe, but if you poke around you will find some very nice singletrack up on the east side of Irish Hill, below the radio towers and above Berlin Pond Road. Some of it is too scary for me, but it's worth exploring for intermediates and up. Recommended Route: Climb the main jeep trail up the ridge of Irish Hill. Bear left about halfway up for some nice single track, or drop down from the top near the radio towers.

, from near Summary: Fun. Go there. Recommended Route: Took a while to find the trailhead. Measured with car later: almost a mile. Go past the real road on your right, then look for a pretty substantial log road on your right.

, from Vermont Summary: This is a good local trail - don't drive too long to get to it. It's not all that technical, except for a few really steep, rocky climbs near the top. The surface is a nice mix - dirt, rock, not too much mud if you steer around little streams and puddles. There's a lot of "woodchuck" sign in the area: 4x4 tracks, bottles near the trail head, some discarded furniture, and what looks like parts of a rolled vehicle higher up the trail (along with a sneaker or two). Recommended Route: I like the climb to the towers and the ride back down. Fast and furious descent (watch those water bars!). Other recommended trails in the same area: Starting to explore trails around Montpelier city dump. Hubbard Park is off limits, but there are trails going northeast out of the dump (first trail on right over little bridge) that hold promise. I'll post when I learn more.
