Mountain bikers will get the chance to see much of New England this summer and help rural economies with a new initiative that brings together more than a half-dozen trail systems in three states and parts of Canada.
The Borderlands covers 250 miles in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire and stretches into Quebec.
The seven bike organizations that drew up the trails say bikers will get to see a diverse picture of New England, passing through forests and berms, over bridges, through idyllic villages and past a few craft breweries. The trails in Quebec take riders through 14,000 acres of conserved land and are a short drive to Montreal.
The trials are designed for all experience levels. They debuted in March with an event hosted by Kingdom Trials in East Burke, Vermont.
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Charlie Woods failed to advance in a U.S. Open local qualifying event Thursday, shooting a 9-over 81 at Legacy Golf & Tennis Club.
The 15-year-old son of Tiger Woods tied for 61st among the 74 players who finished. The top five advanced to regional qualifying.
Woods shot 40 on the front nine, opening bogey-double bogey. He followed a birdie on the par-3 fifth with another double bogey. He shot 41 on the back with three bogeys and a double bogey.
The U.S. Open will be played June 13-16 at Pinehurst No. 2 in North Carolina.
Woods also struggled in February in a pre-qualifier for the PGA Tour's Cognizant Classic, taking a 12 on a hole and shooting a 16-over 86 at Lost Lake Golf Club in Hobe Sound.
Woods has played the 36-hole PNC Championship with his father the last four years in a scramble format.
