Directions - Take  91 north, or 691 east to RTE 66 - travel 1.69 miles to guidas parking lot and TURN AROUND, heading back on rte 66 west for about 1/4 mile, and park in dirt lot pull off on right. The trailhead is here. From rte 91 south you need to take East main street exit, back over the highway, right at light, follow signs for 66, basically it sends you on 91 north where you get off on 66 ea

Description - Due to excessive logging operations in the area, a large loop can no longer be accomplished.  Skip the "trail" with the purple marks on it!!!  The blue ridge trail can be ridden as an out and back and possibly combined with some powder ridge trails across the street.  The ridge trail is awesome, very similar to the bone yard ridge, but more technical..  Several EPIC downhill rocky technical sections and make-able tech. ups..  Add to that sections of grassy single track and Fantastic ridge views and you will be happier than a pig in SH!T..  Go there and start removing sticks on the logging trails if you want to make a loop out of it..  Lowish rating was due to short length..

Pre-ride Music:   Prong - Snap your fingers, snap your neck
Total Miles:  6.5 exploration or about 5 (out and back)
Elevation Change - 800 feet
Nearest Coffee, Sushi or other food:  Right on east main street, 500 feet west of rte 91, there is a dunkin donuts.  Post ride carbo-loading - Ruby Tuesday at the Meriden mall.
