TA Report: Upper Paugussett State Forest

Every pedal of the way on the Poly Brody is blocked!

Report Type: TA Report:
Trail Name: Upper Paugussett State Forest
Town: Newtown

Tree down on the Gussy - will make a nice up and over!
Observations/Information:  Took a spin at Upper Paugussett and it was more like a cyclocross race than a mountain bike ride because as you can imagine after the Nor'easter there were a lot of branches and trees down due to the 18" of wet snow that covered the area last Sunday.  Combined with the leaves still on trees meant many big branches and smaller trees are now littering the trails.



Blockage on the new re-route



I never intended blocking the fall line descent that I built the Trail Re-Loc for but it looks as though the Nor'easter did it for me.
