This is the True North (Wild and Free)

The metric system, poutine, and Les Stroud. Yes that's right, Boloney is going way up there, to nearly the Canadian border.

This weekend, a change in plans. We're shooting up to BTown and then going to ride some of the best mountains of the North East: Stowe and Jay Peak.

AtheFilter is finally contributing to the team and is offering us the use of the BARN. What it is and what it includes, I know not, but one thing is for sure, it is probably way too nice for us.

So While Stowe is crazy expensive and Jay is basically in Newfoundland, these mountains have conditions and steeps that will make the trip well worth it. After riding the mid atlantic last weekend, I desperately need to get onto a trail where I can't see the base from the top of the "double black diamond" terrain. And I need a place where the appropriate attire is not baggy denim shorts. No no, I want steeps and absurd cold.

Burlington, here we come.
