    Pachaug camp n ride columbus weekend

    The loose plan

    show up friday evening at Mt.Misery Camp ground in pachaug state forest set up camp

    leave the camp area sat morning to do the netra loop with hero sections included ( roughly a 60 mile loop )

    camp out again sat night

    ride the loop again on sunday but skip the major hero section
    ( powerline trail and the long washed out up hill with the " step ups" )


    you will need a valid street plate to do the loop , the rangers check for that especially in the campground

    bring water and something to eat for lunch that you can pack with you as we will be stopping trail side for our lunch breaks and we will be at the furthest point away from the camp area at lunch time

    dinner friday and saturday nights will be in the camp ground , so bring food and something to cook it with .

    according to the web site

    In effect for 2010 The possession or use of alcohol is banned from from June 11, 2010 through September 7, 2010 inclusive for all campgrounds in Pachaug. Please do not bring alcoholic beverages and plan your visit accordingly.

    but I assume that means we can bring it that weekend as its after september .

    here is the site

    http://ct.gov/dep/cwp/view.asp?A=2716&Q=325070


    there is no electric at the camp sites but there are bathrooms and water .
    not sure if they are still charging for the season or not, they didn't charge post season in years past .

    I will try to get there friday afternoon to get set up . I have a black thule V nose and a silver Dakota


    any intersst?

    Did you happen to ask if power was included in that? I know some of the sites have power poles there to plug into

    I did not ask the question , but being that we can not make reservations and it is first come first served I would still plan to bring the generator just in case we are not able to get one of the sites that has a power outlet .

    I simply sent an e mail to see if we had to pay , I take the verbage above to mean that we can have drinks as it only says no drinks between june and september , and we plan to be there in october .


    I'll try to get there fairly early on friday afternoon to get set up .

    I remember a year when bob had to go home to drop off one bike and get the other one due to registration issues , and another time when the ranger knocked on the camper door to check registration on marks truck. so yeh they look into it .

    Re: Pachaug camp n ride columbus weekend

    I sure hope my local shop has some tires on Tuesday. I have been looking around the web and can not find tires in my stock size that are not duel-sports. I have a feeling that I have to switch tire size to get the mx51's. Shop said they have mx51 and 749's on the shelf, I hope so.

    Stock size is 90/90 front, 140/80 rear. Thoughts? I think I could get them shipped here quick if I knew what size would still work...

    Oh yeah, what kind of beer do you guys want? I'll cover that for the trip. Least I could do for the Maine folks

    90/100/21 front
    120/90/18 rear
    Didn't I mention in a PM to you that you would have to settle for a 120 rear?

    As for the beer, get something good and get a LOT of it

    Re: Pachaug camp n ride columbus weekend

    So who is coming when , I would like to make plans for dinner .
    i'll probably cook on the fire sat night and I 'll have the cofee pot for the morning , most likely going to just do cereal or oat meal for the morning rather than cooking any thing .




    I'll be there friday riding sat and sunday , wifey coming sat for dinner and riding on sunday .

    Motorsports Nation I think? They have Yamaha, Honda and Suzuki.
    Not sure if they are open Sundays or not, but I know they are closed on Mondays?

    I'm going Friday evening/night and riding Saturday and Sunday.

    Long range weather forcast shows hints of it being a little muddy in sections at Pachaug
