I’m pretty sure no one gives a shit that anyone is riding out there. We ran into multiple groups. Next time join us and send it.

@JHarmon76 I think @Paul H is being cautious and well intended, I would love to go to mills just now worth the risk till bikes are officially ok but thats just me. Maybe you guys will catch me in a different mood next time

i’m rather comfortable saying that is not the general consensus among the community about riding park not opened to bikes. It’s really not about the 5.0 @Fire Marshal Max, they are just enforcing the rules, not making them. It only takes one pissed off hiker to ruin it for everybody. Not that Essex county is a favorable county for mountain bikers, but since there’s other parks nearby that are open to bikers, the risk of drastic measures from the county that may negatively impact other bikers using them legally makes it not worth the risk.

It takes getting involved and participate to meeting with the county, communities etc. there’s a whole section of the website dedicated to it.

Wow, is that trolling to you?!?! Anyway, I’ve said all I had to say on the subject, you can bring the horse to the water but you can’t make it drink. I’m out.

@serviceguy I know where your coming from sometimes for reform we need to break the rules to push the change. I'm sure I'm over exaggerating the risk of going to Mills, but sure as shit it being on the other side of the state makes it so much more difficult for me to be motivated to get there.
Anyway @Victor I and @serviceguy fuck you both, lol hope this brings you guys back into balance into wanting to push me off a cliff mid ride rather than each other lol

I would guess that the village custom of keeping it Fight Club Rule #2 is still preferred practice. @rick81721 ? @fidodie ? @Patrick ?

Guys we rode 15 minutes in Mills the rest is god knows who’s land. Look at our Strava the red box is the only part that is park land.
It’s public knowledge there’s a Strava group dedicated to it, it’s not a secret.
If the park cared they dismantle the shit we are riding.

Actually they are some of the best trails in the area. Also the maintenance on the trails will put most other parks to shame.

@Mathers , from that map it looks like you never even entered Mills reservation.

Good ?
I do think the trails are part of the reservation but not positive. We ride near one of the lots on Normal rd

On what part of your Strava ride are the features in the pictures ? I think there’s another park nearby where mtb are fully allowed. To be honest, I never saw any of those when hiking Mills reservation.
