Date of Activity: 2/20/10 Trail Ambassador Name: Ed Perten Trail Ambassador Email: edperten@sbcglobal.net Town: Stratford Location: Roosevelt Forest Trail(s) Ridden: Several How did you use the trail?: Mountain bike riding What was the time of day?: Late morning Duration (Hours): 1.5 Distance (Miles): a bunch Condition of Trail(s): Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy. Observations: Most trails were rideable, had to walk up some hills, a mixture of wet snow, slush, melting ice, leaf covered, some deep sections of snow. The wettest area was the parking lot which was a mud bath. Got a good workout. Passed through the Boy Scout camp area, two pick up trucks had brought in the supplies and were neatly parked by the leantos. When I was a boy scout we carried all our gear in on our backs, walked miles through rough terrain and slept in tents. My how things have changed.
