Originally being from New England, I took a short trip to Rhode Island to attend a good friend's wedding in Southern Massachusetts. While there, I found the Woody Hill trail system.
I was back in Massachusetts in April to ride Lynn Woods which was a fairly iconic trail system in New England - which turned out to be a bust - so I had the attitude that I was going to "Make this trip count" and try Little Sister - my first double black diamond trail ever on a unicycle.
This wasn't a HUGE mistake, but the way I approached it was.
The trail was still a little slick so it didn't treat me too well, but I also didn't treat myself well. I didn't bring snacks or enough water for the day and the Little Sister trail was 4 miles long. And it took be an hour to get to the trail head with riding there and warming up on nearby trails.
I ended up being out there for 4 or 5 hours without enough water or food and most importantly, the trail was SO GOOD I couldn't let anything go without an attempt or two. But I bit off more than I could chew this day and ended up just getting thrown around by the trail.
Next time I head to New England, maybe I'll plan accordingly - or maybe hit some trails my own skill level. Third times the charm!
