New Update

New Updates and Features coming to the App soon- I promise!

Save Boston Trails!

If you ride Middlesex Fells (one of the closest parks to downtown Boston) or ever plan to, PLEASE go HERE and give NEMBA your name and email.  It would really help to deal with state park authorities.  I'm not a great advocacy guy, but this is so simple and requires so little commitment that it is a no-brainer. 

Thanks in advance.

New Features...

In version 1.3, when it comes out,
there will be a new feature.

I'm calling it "big mountain project".  It will be a list of the 10  highest peaks in MA. (to begin with...)  And info on the best way to ride a bike up and down them.  And whether or not they are legal for bikes.  And stuff.

  It's not that these are such great big peaks- this is more of a backcountry/freeride ski and snowboard term.  It's a relative thing.  Compared to the riding on the east coast of MA, these peaks are indeed Big Mountain riding.

It's another option... not as convenient an option, but if I was visiting Boston to ride, one I would want to know about.

So watch for it...

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?
