I would like to invite all of you if possible to come visit an excellent MTB destination in Southern Maine this summer. August 10th to the 12th, Parsonfield , Maine. My good friend Cliff Krolick has a company called Bike Back Coutry Excursions.
I've been visiting his woods for a long time now, for trail building seminars, coaching camps, to just plain old camping out with the crew and riding....
This August 10th to the 12th he is having a great Micro Brew event as well as several other events. Check his website out at www.bikebackcountry.com. The Microbrew Festival is probably the best one though.
The trail riding At Cliff's property is excellent. Very flowy xc trails thru pine barrens, technical climbs, and a bunch of features that are labelled. some of the trails have natural and man made stunts. There are plenty of different trails to go on, wake up call, quilted northern are my two favorites.
It takes about 6 1/2 hours to get to Parsonfield Maine from Stroudsburg, PA. Which is not too bad... the camping area is not too far into the property and there is plenty of night riding once you get situated!!!! The weather in Maine at this time is excellent. There is a lake and stream nearby for water fun, and a wood fired hot tub to relax in after a hard day of pedaling.
Anyone interested contact me. Or get together with your closest riding partners and plan a riding vacation to Maine You won't ever forget....
