TEA

October 18, 2011 I’ve been to this trail a couple times now… it’s one of my fatoirves. I went the other day with Liz Bove, Scott Grimshaw and Jay Schoppe. There are very easy long stretches, perfect for kids learning to ride or adults that want an easy trail to get acquainted. If you enter near Greenbriar Recreation Park at the canoe launch entrance, lots of easy trails for kids over there. There are also a few small bridges around, which make it fun. I fell off the side of one of the bridges that had a big stump at one end. Luckily my phone was in one of my zipped shorts pockets and wasn’t destroyed.Overall, it’s a beautiful area with some designated bird watching areas. Pretty easy for the most part, but if you take some of the side trails you can find more technical areas. One spot, I think is around the middle area going east to west across has a singletrack up a hill and on the way down on the other side is a nice little descent with quite a few roots. I’ll be going back for sure, but next time I think I’m going to try Douglas State Forest, Vietnam or the Cascades in central Mass. Other areas I’m interested in are Nathan Hale Homestead, Goodwin State Park and Mansfield Hollow in northeastern Connecticut.
