Sinister Bikes...
Have you heard the buzz!
If you have not heard the
buzz, go and check out the Sinister website and read if for yourself.
Apparently they are under new management as listed under their contact page.
Plus, we noticed the phone has changed. We are not sure exactly what's
going on, but our sources say there coming back and coming back big!
Anyone who has ridden with
the Sinister crew know they are all a bunch of great guys! Its great
to see a local bike company battle through the odds and survive to keep the
New England Freeride representation alive!
We wish them the best of luck
and will support this local bike company as much as possible!

2011 Dirt Rag's Dirt Fest!
May 20th - 22nd
The DB crew is looking to
go...need more NE riders who want to represent at this event. Sign up
today on the DB Facebook Page
This looks to be a fun event.
Check out more information at Dirt Rag.
Quoted from
Dirt Rag's Website:
"Our motivation for this
event is to promote the mountain bicycling community. As mountain bikers we
each have unique and various definitions which create cliques, groups,
classes, and styles. While we appreciate the intricacies that spawn from the
esoteric nature of our sport, there are certain binding ties that we feel
cause to celebrate. For the weekend we aim to promote an environment of
inclusion not based around ability or insanity, but rather hearty spirit for
adventure, festivity, and camaraderie."

Lynn Woods Fall
Trail Work Schedule
We have been super busy with
additional activities and did not host any trail work days in the Spring.
We received a ton of e-mails and verbal request to ensure we were still in
the game of maintaining Lynn Woods.
To answer that, WE ARE.
The trail system is in great condition and we chat with the park ranger from
time to time. We did not see a need to host two trail days in the
Spring, however members of our crew and other local riders are doing there
part to keep the trails clear.
Be on the look out for DB to
host two work days in the Fall which are published on our Google calendar.

6th Annual Lynn Woods
Opening Ride - SICK!
We had 21 rides join the group
for the 6th Annual Lynn Opening Ride this past Saturday. It was
great to see familiar faces and some new faces joining the ride.
The group was charge up and
everyone was trying something new out of the gate even though it was the
first ride for some. Couple of minor mechanicals issues that were
resolved quickly...so thanks to all for having their bikes ready to ride!
The DB crew has kicked off
our group riding season and we are going to hit Highland and other
locations more often.
Sign up today for our E-Ride
notice and feel free to join our group rides...you are only going to have
FUN!

Lynn Woods 2011 Trail Maintenance Schedule
The DB 2011 Lynn Woods Trail
Maintenance will be released shortly. We are running behind our
typically schedule to publish trail maintenance dates, but we plan on
hosting them this year.
The team is out along with other
local riders who love Lynn cleaning up the trails from this past winters
havoc.
Stay tune for our trail work
dates and details regarding each project.
----------------------------------------------
Trail Riding Conditions
Please remember this is the time
of the year we call MUD SEASON. The DB crew has been out riding places
such as HP and Willowdale and conditions are excellent. However places
like Greenwood and B&Ts are still wet in a number of sections.
We ask the mountain bike
community to ride with common sense when going to a trail location that is
known to be rather muddy this time of the year. The less damage now,
means less work for your local trail crews to maintain.

3rd Annual Burke Mt.
Bike'n & Beer Fest Re-cap!!
Once again the Dieselbikes
crew ventured up to Burke Mountain and hung our with the Sinister Bikes crew
during the 3rd annual Bike'n & Beer Festival.
This was the first time the
DB crew attended this festival and we can not wait until next year's event.
Burke Mt. now hosts lift service and the trails there are fun for all
levels. From high speed dirt jumps to long flowy downhill trails, this
place has it all!

4th Annual Vermont Mountain Bike
Festival Re-Cap!
We at Dieselbikes ventured up
with our friends at Sinister Bikes and attend the 4th Annual Vermont
Mountain Bike Festival. This was a fun event with over 20 vendors,
food, music and of course BEER!
The event was held in Waterbury
VT next to some of the sweetest single-track in VT. These trails
had everything; long hill climbs that burn the legs, but the decent down the
mountain is well worth leaving your lunch on at the top!
The Sinister Crew was wicked
cool and we tagged along to shoot some video and photos; check them out on
the DB Facebook page!
