Even though the weather report said rain it wasn't raining when I left the house this morning. However, by the time I got to the parking area off of Merribrook Lane it was lightly raining. Despite the rain, the turn out was great, 9 people showed up to ride.

The trails were actually in great shape and even though it had been raining, which I think it was due to all the leaves on the trails yet traction wasn't a problem. The roots, on the other hand, tended to be a little more slippery than usual and there are a lot of roots at Mianus - I guess you could say it made the ride a little more challenging.

Trails at Mianus are simply superb! The efforts of Ryan Tucker, Dave Francefort, and Rich Coffey really show up in the trail reroutes, benching, and obstacle planning. Mianus has a mix of buff trails that roll like buttah and an equal share of gnarly, rooted, rocky, technical trails typically found in New England. If you are in the area I recommend you ride Mianus sometime. Those not familiar, check out these map resources for Mianus. The major trails are signed so getting lost in the woods is nearly impossible.
