Full Moon Bonfire

December 12th, 2008 · No Comments · News

I tend to be a bit secretive about the really awesome places around these parts.  There’s a very cool place with some of the best cross-country skiing in Clinton County I’d like to share.  It’s open to the public, free and “wild”, and just received some kick-ass snow.

Hi resolution

NY 374It’s true, we did ride near a jail and yes, there was a break. Unfortunately the break occurred between myself and the rest of the 5-man group for the last official Mountain Goat Climb.

Living in the Last Great Wilderness of the Northeast and in an area called the Adirondack Mountains, you’d think we could come up with some killer hill climbs. Oh how we wish that were true. We’ve got plenty of short and even sharp climbs, but long and sustained grinds are hard to find. Thanks to Adam (AKA the Wrench) for herding the goats and introducing us all to some fun riding in Clinton County. Our final climb might be the jewel of the area – Dannemora Mt. via the Nashville-Hugh Hearn Rd.
