i agree - that is a brutal amount for a short distance.

to cut this down, park in the cush lot, do the Zee climb. drop down to the right of the log
after the hike-a-bike climb. left on red at the first log crossing the downhill.
follow red until mile 5 of this ride. https://www.strava.com/activities/1147024533

turn around, at mile 5.4 of this ride, https://www.strava.com/activities/1147024533 follow the
turn off to the right. this will bring you to the highest spot of the cushetunk trails. drop back down to the lot.

about 10 miles, probably 1500 climbing. will take 2 hours. just a little tech, a little steep, and lots of fun single track that
with some over 100 years old - they are old farm transport trails.

or just do the first strava loop. it has a massive downhill, the cool switchbacks mile 6.4, and res loop, with some road.

We should all do this ride soon

Would be great to match the music to someone crashing down the hill in slow motion.

@arangov3 @BPaze Make it happen!

So what’s the consensus on music while riding?

Frank's pinned it. Solo is cool even with a speaker. But if I hear your shitty pingy music a hundred feet away no good. One caveat, music is okay if riding after solar hours in a group.

what’s up with this masochistic liking of hard pedaling on steep uphills!

Did they install a lift?

If I'm riding by myself, I always have one ear bud in. As to WHAT I usually listen to:

Good idea Kev for some posts towards 9000 or 10000

I'm kind of flakey when it comes to riding music. It's one or the other. Either black metal or two gay men singing to each other.

I am odd personally I have no desire for music while hiking or biking one of the most enjoyable parts of the activities is being out in and enjoying solitude and nature(also love the comradirie in group setting). If I was trail running I would def want music in earbuds just don’t like running I find it painful and need the distraction.

I get it, that may be the reason I haven’t had breakfast for several years!

Vince Clark is not gay and he did not sing in that song, have a little respect!

I’ve always been a big fan since his DM times.

He apparently lives on Brooklyn now.

I think that's to point. If you're hammering and focused on a training session music can help a lot. Otherwise, I agree，I'd rather hear the water, wind and birds any day.
