I'll be up next weekend staying at the camp ground. I work during the week but if you want to sneak in an evening ride at 6ish during the week I could probably go for that.
Just got back. J-Bar was completed to the top of Burke Mt. I followed the trail builders down for the very first run so it was a little soft. Shuttled up from town so I had legs for the rest of the day. Upper J-Bar, Lower J-Bar, Burnham Down back to town is a not miss.
I was wondering about that too. I went for a ride near home yesterday after all night and most of the morning down pours. I was amazed how dry it was already, the ground soaked a ton of water up. Be curious to know what Kingdom and Milstone are like.
I rode Kingdom today. It was actually pretty dry. I just rode the West side of Darling Hill since I think that drains best. It really was pretty good. There are some perma-mud holes, but those are always there.
Amazing, we have had the driest summer I can remember but it seems like northern VT has its own climate. Must be sucking the moisture out of those clouds before they come this way. And I'm OK with that...

So stoked. Leaving work in a hour and a half and riding KT all weekend. Doing the "epic" tomorrow and finally bringing my DH bike for a little shuttling on sunday.
Hey negative nancy Nothing but clear sky's today and tomorrow. And I heard that it's been so dry that the trails soaked it right up! Ideride is running shuttles to j-bar tomorrow as part of the bike and beer festival.
But if i don't get a ton of time on the dh bike it's all good. the xc trails are epic enough.
Hey I want the shuttle to be open as much as you do Im sure. and I plan on getting in on that free shuttle action but I heard it will only be to the top camptown & Dead moose area not the peak unless things do a lot more drying out. But hey if they run the shuttle look for a guy in a honda element with a black GT force and a urban camo helmet and we can do a run together to celebrate.
Oh and there has been an awful lot of rain coming out of the blue skies so far today
I was at site 8 this past Friday and Saturday. Made a few new friends and on saturday rode enchanted forest to burnham down into town and then did the darling hill side(As muchas we could:thumbsup: ) for about 5 hours... J-bar from the top to burnham down on sunday. Killer time
well Ive got the house on Kitchel aug 20+21 nights. so no highland for me then but I will probably go to highland aug 29th.
