After a very fulfilling ride in Vermont I headed down to Massachusetts to see what I could find. Someway and somehow this ride ended up being even more fun than Burke. Even with it being relatively flat!
These trails were sculpted on amazing terrain by amazing builders.
Great people, great terrain, an all around fun fun fun time shredding the Vietnam Trails in Milford.

My local trails. Great fact about Vietnam, this was the first property ever privately purchased by a mountain biking association in the US. On a few occasions, developers have offered well over $1m to purchase the parcel. But NEMBA has rejected all offers to sell. It’s a pretty great story for all of us locals !

As one of the guys who helped raise funds and donated a chunk myself - I'm sorry we never sold it - think of the land 1 million could buy? 1, 000 to 2000 acres in Maine. Vietnam is 40 acres and relies on abutting PVT property..

You are only scratching the surface of what little ole Massachusetts has to offer. MA is a bit of a hidden gem. We don't have the elevation for epic flow trails, but we make up for it with feature-heavy trails. I've traveled all over, and I'll say that the trails around here prepare you for pretty much anything out there. Wait, I mean, it's terrible here. Don't bother coming! 'These are not the trails you are looking for...' :)

@ASDproductions6 4 года назад

Check out Earl’s Trails in Amherst. You can get some decent elevation on miles of swoopy flow trails.

I'm a bit further north, but this is totally representative of riding on rural Massachusetts. What the video leaves out is the first law of bicycling which is "What goes down must come up". This video only shows the descents and some level sections. It leaves out the 70% of the time you spend grinding back up in little gears. Often through steep, technical rock gardens which require simultaneously maxing your core strength as well as your technical skills. It's good to finally see a trail video from this part of the US. Very different than the desert southwest or even the PNW.

@phallski 4 года назад

It was named Vietnam, if I recall, because the first MTB riders who were out there in the '90s thought it was like riding in a warzone due to the super technical, rocky, and jungle like riding. I grew up about 20 minutes from there and first rode it in ~03/04? Some of the old features are long gone, swamp drop, the big spider, golden gate, etc, there used to be some totally hairy old stuff there and the new stuff looks great, haven't ridden there since 2010, sounds like its time for a trip east with the bike!

I am also a former local there and still ride her several times a year. You rode really well through there - it is a technical paradise and tough stuff with some butt pucker features and you nailed it! Eastern MA and southern NH have similar terrain - not big hills for the most part but non stop tech that will beat you up. I can show you some NH spots if you are headed up my way. Enjoy New England riding!

@EJFLYINGEYE 4 года назад

There was a trail sign back when it was built and ridden by dirt bikes next to the power lines that only a few remember that said "Vietnam". It's long gone but the name stuck. The sign was still there in the early 1990's when these were the most technical, narrow pure singletrack trails in central MA.
