| Topic #2380 started by Alan T. was dedicated to ski parks that
operate as MTB parks during the summer.
I rode Sunday River last summer, and it WAS worth it.
A very long drive from Boston, over 150 miles, but if you're into
downhill, you must go.
They have groomed trails winding between trees, and the trails are
covered with some sort of bark-mulch, to prevent erosion. You can
also ride down the "slopes" as well. Man was it hairy riding.
It was THE most incredible death-ride I went on last year.
I went with a friend who rides dirt bikes, but had heard about
Sunday River's Mt. bike park. He wore AXO Sport body armor, and wore
a full-face filtered helmet. We had to reverse the brake cables on
the bike he was riding, so he wouldn't flip it by grabbing the wrong
brake. Didn't help, he bent the fork on a fairly new GT All-Terra.
(On a dirt bike, the right lever operates the front brake)
I don't have the phone number, but simply call Sunday River in Maine.
I'm sure they'll be more than happy to get you all the information
you need. Hint: front-end suspension is a BIG plus for this place.
