Date: December 9, 2009
Condition of Trails: Wet Snow

Trail Ambassador Name: Mark Lurie
Trail Ambassador Email: eatsleepfish@gmail.com
Town: Newtown
Location: Upper Paugussett State Forest
Trails Ridden: Poly Brody and Upper Gussy Trail
How did you use the trail?: Mountain Biking
What was the time of day? Afternoon
Duration (Hours): 1.5 Hours

Observations: Well, what can you say except there was 3 or 4 inches of wet snow on the ground and it's like riding cream of wheat when you short the recipie by a 1/3 of a cup of water. While there were no cars in the parking lot I happen to notice something quite odd in the picture above, towards the top on the left side. Is that a couch? I didn't really notice it all but captured it on the camera. I will have to stop by on my way to work and see what that is.

Climbing in a lot places instantly turns to a hike bike, especially while riding a single speed but riding in the snow is about as buff a trail will get in New England.

While the Poly Brody was pretty easy to ride, the Gussy Trail was a lot more challenging.
