They're Grrrrrrreat!

Fantastic time to be out on N. England's trails.  Found something I should've known but had perhaps forgotten, the other day.

Halibut Point in Gloucester?  No bikes!  There's nothing definitive on their website, but it is clearly posted at the location.  Great spot for a hike, though.

Also, they've completed (I'm sure they did this long ago, but you can't explore everything all the time) a nice loop of gravel path around the main pond at Gordon College.  Great spot to take the fam riding.  These trails have always been there, but they've been very muddy often in the past.

More updates to the App are on the way.   Landlocked Forest in Burlington....

If You Are Reading...

If you're reading this, then I guess you're the wrong audience for these words.  But I haven't had a sale in over a week and only one in a long time (thank you to THAT person....) 

If a friend gets a new iPhone, and you like your app, please consider recommending Mountain Bike Boston, won't you?

Thanks.

The Big Jump

As I mentioned the other day, I am going to be using this blog you're looking at for Apps business only,  so if you're coming here looking for toddler pics of my kid, etc., then you should drop me an email and I'll clue you in on a little secret project I'm cooking up. (Dave, I'm talking to you.)

If you are looking for trails info, etc., please proceed.

Rider's block

I just feel like I've got all kinds of blocks right now.

Writer's block: I feel like I have nothing to say... or nothing I'm allowed to say. Or nothing that's appropriate to say. Not sure which.

Rider's Block: I just don't feel like getting out on the bike. Maybe it's moving from living right next to BPSP to so far away. Granted it's not really SO FAR AWAY, but relatively, it is. And when the fam has only one car, I feel bad enough leaving Kath alone with Lu, that to take the car seems like a step too far, y'know?

Combine that with the fact that I'm still not sure what this blog is, since it's linked to my App and it's attendant publicity. Can I write about personal things? Or is this a business blog, or what? Maybe I need to start a second, more personal blog. Yeah, maybe that's the solution. Invitation only kinda thing.

I'll have to give that some thought. If I do that and you don't get invited, please don't take it personally- it's not you, it is definitively me- I have weird obsessions concerning privacy.

Windy day, eh?

Upcoming App Updates!

You've all seen version 1.1 of MBB- perhaps most of you have downloaded it. Just thought I'd give you a glimpse of upcoming trails for the next update. I'll try to make this a regular feature.

Linebrook Woods (Ipswich, MA)

Ipswich Enchilada (epic)

Wompatuck State Park (it's written, but I keep putting off the drive south of Boston to take pictures)

Autumn Coming...

I love the autumn. Let's just get that out there right now. So much that I feel bad just calling it "fall". That's not dramatic enough.

Sorry not much on this blog right now. Let's see- what is some new new-ness? We are looking for an apt.- our time at Asbury Grove is up on Oct. 1st. It's been a fun summer but we're all ready for some permanence.

Got a new front tire for my Surly. A Continental Mountain King 2.4. Happy with it in the living room- we'll see what it is like on the trails.

Started back to school last week, mid-week. Still a little confusing. I'm supposed to be with one student, but he hasn't shown up yet. Where are you, Gerard?

Over and out for now.

Updates, sales, & etc.

I know that's not grammatically correct- it's my obscure little attempt at protest.

Summer is passing by both quickly and slowly at the same time. I know that's not chronologically possible, but there it is just the same. My favorite season is autumn, so it's okay with me.

Last week saw an update to the App that I hope many of you have bought by now.
Two trails that had questionable legal standing were dropped. I think a few were added- if not, look for those to be added soon (I'm waiting to make trips to get more photos of some parks then they'll be added- notably Wompatuck).

If you don't own the App, maybe you hesitate because you don't own Apple products. Well- get out there and buy them! I'm kidding...

I would appreciate it, though, if you would gently recommend the app to friends (when it's appropriate). I did work pretty hard compiling this information, so I'd love to feel it was helping some people. I know I could've used it when I moved here.

That's all for now.
