Yeah so I know a good amount of NS bikes and highland is one of the premiere places to go during the summer in New England. So I decided a thread to keep up with all the updates they perform, as well as meet up and ride seemed cool.

Ill be there this saturday with a fellow Ns'er if your going hit us up!

A lap on Hellion, the greatest trail in the Northeast. See you there, I guess. At some point I want my filmer friend to come and make an edit, either one day or for a whole weekend.

A Hellion Lap with the GoPro HD from Charlie Dayton on Vimeo.

I also went opening weekend, everything was amazing. Had to leave for 2 hours in the middle of the day to get some stitches, but that was no big, came back and rode later.

and another video with a lot of highland shots in it, this time with a little bit better angle on the gopro, and music that i stole just as much from ski videos.

for conditions wise if you go a couple days after its rained its prime cause its not all dusty nor are the huge mud puddles. anytime of the year i think is the best fall has leaves which kinda suck but they do a good job maintaining it.

Have some days to kill in the next couple weeks and wanted to do a couple days of lift served (as well as kingdom trails). Watched the vids on the site and it looks awesome. To save a not insignificant amount of $ I was thinking of just running my 6" FS with a coil lyric up front and a heavy wheel set i don't have a lot of love for. I've never biked via lifts but ride everyday and love my bike. Will I be under biked and asking for trouble?

Obviously you would have a better time with a full suspension, but a lot of people do ride Hardtails there. It's a really smooth mountain with minimal rocks, roots, etc.

You should be fine. Have fun!
