Is TBV closed to Mountain Biking?
TBV is open to mountain biking on approved trails (see our map), but closed to mountain bikers from January through May.
David, earlier this year there were rumors flying about the FFD Cty Mountain Biking Community that due to all the wet weather in June and July that TBV was closed.
If you would like to reach out to the broader MTB community through CT NEMBA, please send an email just post more announcements on your blog, I have it linked to CT NEMBA's.
I am glad that we were able to have some representation for your fall open field day.
Tx,
Mark
