The ideRide shuttle made its maiden voyage to the Burke Mtn summit this weekend.
The village trails in East Burke often get overlooked. They are not a easily made part of a loop until KT’s new trail, Burnham Down, was opened this last weekend. Now, as you exit from descending Burnham just cross the street and enter the village trails through the park. It was on a recent ride through here that I discoversd a large pine had fallen right in the middle of the trail. The next time I rode the same section I found, much to my delight, that some industrious individuals had transformed the obstacle into a log ride.
We here at IdeRide are pleased to announce a sponsorship with the Valencia Sports Group and their amazing product line including Six Six One, Royal, and Sunline Components! We have used the Six Six One products in particular for years and they are arguably the industry standard.
Expect lots of bumps and bruises avoided due to the great design.
The crew is also looking forward to checking out Royal and SunLine. The Sunline bars namely have been getting some great reviews lately with some of our riding friends and we can’t wait to check them out.
Busy weeks here with our first day camp in the bag, shuttles at Burke Mountain up and running, new trailwork, photo shoots and plenty more in the works.
So get out and ride but check in here after often so you can see what we’re up to!
Saturday June 6th, Led By Adam Corbeil, Founding Director of The Middle School Partnership, Department of Human Services, The City of Cambridge, a group of six 8th graders and four counsellors made the trip from Boston to East Burke. When they arrived, ideRide coaches Linden and Sasha were ready, with 10 full suspension bikes and helmets, at The Wildflower Inn. Skye Nacel of Mocean 365 was on hand to catch the action on film.
On Sunday, May 31 at 9:00 am twenty hardcore freeriders met at the Burke mtn base lodge parking lot. The goal, to build the long anticipated trail that will connect J-Bar to the summit.
