I rode Woody Hill last night, and this week’s rain has the trails absolutely dialed. The new dirt work on Hop Boogie, Hobbit Juice, and Naughty Nurse is packed, fast, and riding amazing. (Huge thank you to all the volunteers over the last 4 weeks to get ready.) A little more rain tomorrow should make Sunday’s conditions even better!
We’ve got bike demos, our best raffle prizes ever, and a taco truck—plus every ticket helps fund trail development and maintenance right here in Rhode Island. We’ve already invested over $70,000 in trails this year, with another $350,000 in projects on the way. Come help us build the trails you’ve always wanted to ride.
As of 10:45 AM Friday, only 40 tickets remain. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. We will not be able to take walk-ins once our limit is reached.
One last reminder: no alcohol is permitted anywhere on the property. Representatives from both of the land trusts and DEM will be joining us, so please help us be respectful of our hosts and partners. @nemba_mtb by @newforesttherapy

Hey folks, we’ve made great progress on Hop Boogie over the last few weeks with rebuilt berms, restored jumps, and a major overhaul of the drop. The challenge is that after four trail days, we’ve only had six total volunteers show up—and two of those days had zero volunteers. Thanks to those who showed up but If we had even 3–6 people at each work day, Hop Boogie would already be finished and we’d be moving on to repairs and trimming throughout the rest of the Woody Hill trail network.

The reality is that there is no trail fairy and no paid trail crew. The trails stay open and rideable because riders volunteer their time. Without volunteers, there are no great trails, and right now many trails across the state are falling into disrepair.
I’m committed to doing the work, but I need your help. If these trails matter to you, I hope you’ll join us.

Upcoming Trail Days
• Tue 6/16 @ 5:30 PM – Hop Boogie north side (meet on trail)
• Thu 6/18 @ 5:30 PM – Hop Boogie south side (meet on trail)
• Sat 6/20 @ 10:00 AM – Hobbit Juice (meet at the drop/wall jump)
• Tue 6/23 @ 5:30 PM – Naughty Nurse (meet on trail)
• Thu 6/25 @ 5:30 PM – Naughty Nurse (meet on trail)

The entire system also needs trimming. If you’d like to help with brushing or adopt a trail, send me a message.

Another great work night on Hop Boogie last night. Two groups of young riders came rolling though, so I promised them a video shoot off the table top if they helped haul buckets. Thanks for your help fellas!

Back at it again this Thursday night 6/11 and next Tuesday 6/16. Getting it all buffed out for the Woody Hill Fun Ride 6/28. Come out and support your local trails. taken in Woody Hill Management Area by @newforesttherapy

Great first night for the Woody Hill Trail Work Series. We tuned up the tired berm and table top on Hop Boogie with some fresh dirt. Thanks to all who made it out. We’ll be out on Hop Boogie again next Tuesday night to get started on the first turn and wood drop. As we march toward the Woody Hill Fun ride June 28th. by @newforesttherapy

Having a blast this week changing up the routine and busting in some trails! So far 3 miles in Woody and 5 miles in Arcadia broken in. Thanks to everyone who came out! Headed to Big River this Thursday for more. Fingers crossed the trails set up for fat bikes soon. Snowshoes are fun but I miss the bikes already. @rinemba @nemba_mtb by @newforesttherapy

We’re back for the 2nd running of the Mt Tom enduro tonight (5/20)!

Each segment: two laps—scout the first, send it on the second. Strava segments will be live for anyone chasing PRs. Mostly gravel road climbs.

Ride your own pace and we’ll meet you at the bottom. Perfect for enduro-style training or just a change of pace!
