Trail conditions at Bradbury Mountain State Park were near perfect for the (1st?) official PPCS Winter Fat Tire Mountain Bike Ride. As the result of a dedicated group of trail groomers Bradbury has become the “go to” area for fat tire winter riders and today’s ride lived up to everyone’s expectations. Initially a group of four, Ryan and Mason Galway, Dave Boyle and myself, we were joined by former PPCS kayaker Brian Budd for an 11 mile tour of Bradbury’s single rack trails. The ride had been scheduled for Saturday, Feb 27, but incoming rain (again) had forced me to move the trip forward a day. The trails were packed hard enough that Dave and Mason were able to easily ride with their “skinny tires”. We rode almost all of the available terrain except for the mountain side of park; after 11 miles most of us had had enough. It was an excellent day and we all agreed to schedule a few more PPCS rides for the 2022 winter season; it’s just one more way to get outside and enjoy the company of friends in the beautiful State of Maine.
