After a number of meetings with the Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR), Berkshire riders will soon have new trail to ride in Pittsfield State Forest - but it's going to take some serious elbow grease! The trail in question will be a 2-plus mile re-route of the Turner Trail. Currently the Turner is a fall line scar of a trail —a trench, in fact— rising over 1000 feet to a radio tower summit near the camping area on top of Berry Mountain. Berkshire NEMBA's goal is to create a sustainable replacement for this trail that winds and weaves up from the base of the mountain and connects to the camp- ing area. With the help of NEMBA trail designers, Mike Tabaczynski and Philip Keyes, Berkshire NEMBA's new leader- ship spent a day aligning the trail with clinometers in hand to create a new trail that will be both sustainable and fun to ride. Bershire Riders at Trail Buidling School. L-R: Gary Briere (DCR), Josh Chittenden, Bill Markham, Dan Fields, Amy Fields, Jeff Kellogg, Dave Sacco, Neal Blair, Brad Herder, The trail is currently flagged and awaiting final approval by Harry Meyer, and Michael Coyne DCR's Becky Barnes. It's hoped that construction will begin on June Now's the time for Berkshire riders to support the chapter and get 21st. This will be the first trail built by Berkshire mountain bikers involved with the new relationship that's developing between the rid- that utilize the standards and practices of current trail building sci- ing community and the DCR. It's an exciting time for the Berkshires, ence, and as such, many volunteers will be needed to benchcut and and to make it a success, Berkshire NEMBA will have to prove that it's build a cutting edge singletrack. ready to meet the challenge. They're ready, willing and able, and need your support. Ten Berkshire riders attended the recent NEMBA / IMBA Trail Building School to learn the construction techniques, and the chapter is order- Contact Berkshire NEMBA president, Brad Herder, at: ing an assortment of trail building tools in preparation for the project.
