BYOB
You folks are awesome! After 2 years not riding I decided to check out Kiski, which I hadn't ridden since probably 2012. I'm blown away by Overlook. Thanks to all the time put in out there, best ride I can remember in the Bangor area. 🙌🏻🤙🏻🍻
Hey everyone, what tools would you recommend for trailbuilding in downeast Maine? And where in Bangor/Ellsworth can I find these tools?
Great turnout again for the Wednesday Night Trail Grind. This week we continued our focus on the new section of yet to be named beginner/intermediate trail at Essex Woods (for the right price we could name it after you!). We cleaned off organic matter, bench cut...blah blah blah (read the IMBA book if you really care). You really just came here for the pictures. Enjoy, and don't miss out next month. Always 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, 5:30 to 7:30.
Hey all, I'm going to be riding my 25 mile KWW loop on Sunday June 25 if anyone's interested in joining.
Beginner+ ride - Saturday, June 24th - Walden Parke Preserve, Bangor
If you’re a beginner or novice mountain biker and want to acquire the skills and techniques that will help you ride better, come join us at Bangor Land Trust’s Walden Parke Preserve. We’re leaving from the Tamarack Trail parking area at 9:00 AM. We’ll focus on shifting, how to use your brakes, cornering, riding up ledges, to name a few. The ride will last about 1.5 to 2 hours. Even though the ride is geared toward the beginner rider, everybody is welcome.
Directions to Walden Parke Preserve: From the Stillwater Avenue / Essex Street intersection in Bangor drive approximately 4 miles north on Essex Street, passing Church Road on your left. Take your next right onto Walden Parke Way at the entrance to the Edgewood Subdivision. Turn right onto Tamarack Trail and park at the end of the road where you will see a Bangor Land Trust kiosk.
The next Race Clinic Series (RCS) will be held at Kiski Trials of Dedham this Thursday at 6PM. Come see how many laps you can do in 1 hour on the course. We are looking at about a mile long lap that will be fairly smooth for the trail system. We all had a blast doing laps last year. We highly encourage spectators at this event. We will be staging out of the landing that is on the very end of the dirt road and the gate will be open if you want to drive in but you'll want to be in a truck or a car you are borrowing :-/ You can park before the gate and get a good warm up in.
Don't miss the first RCS at Kiski!

Reminder that tomorrow night's WNTG is at Essex Woods on the next section of downhill. We will be tweaking and tuning a large berm and possibly bench cutting a couple of new sections. We will also be grilling up some food. So, if you come right after work we will feed you! 5:30 to 7:30 PM don't miss the fun!!!
