Anyone riding dirt Saturday 5/3?

[JettaJayGLS]

Racing bicycles Sunday, no bicycle races Saturday so I'm only gonna go for an easy spin leaving the rest of the day open. Anyone want to rip some moto?

Trails or MX, no matter. Haven't been out at my place yet this year, we could always give that a shot.

I was thinking Crow Hill, but I have to see how my shoulder feels. might not be ready.

I'm down. Let me know.

If anyone on the North Shore wants to carpool I can easily tow 2 bikes.

May be going to mx101 not sure which day though

I haven't been for a trail ride this year yet. Saturday is out for work but, by sunday my bike should be back together and I plan to ride. It will probably be Freetown or something here though.

Sat is kinda filling up so it's looking like i'll be at Hodges again Sunday with Biggles and Chris. we arrive at ~8AM.

trail conditions were awesome last Sun, couldn't believe it.

Have to ask. If I am a NH resident, what do I need to do to get a MA sticker to ride these places y'all are mentioning?

[typeone]

for the MX tracks, nothing. just show up, sign waiver, pay ~$30.

for legal off-road spots, breakdirt has a good overview on MA ORV here: http://www.nestreetriders.com/forum/...=1#post1301875

[Phat Twin]

Thanks! I might have to get one of those stickers. I guess in Maine, if you have a plated trail bike, that covers the need for a sticker. I guess I am all set then. And to settle to terms, does VT give NH reciprocity?

[tls25rs]

Sadly no. There is currently no reciprocity between the states of New England. You want to ride somewhere you need to make a donation to whatever it is each state is taking the trail sticker money from and giving it to.

The one thing that isn't clear for NH residents trying to register in MA is how sales tax is handled. You have to show proof of sales/use tax paid but since we don't pay it in NH, we can't show it.

I haven't bothered to try and figure it out since it seems like too much of a hassle relative to the riding area I would gain.

Soooo, Saturday...Crowhill, MX101? I haven't been to either, I've only been to MX207 and Rock Pile. How do they compare?

I've never ridden crow hill as a track, only at Jday but nothing looked to big as far as jumps go. Mx101 wasn't to bad but the day I went it was PACKED PACKED and the track was clapped by like noon. Wareham is still my favorite track even though I'm not a huge fan of a few of the newer sections but not many people like how sandy it is there so it's hard to get people to go.

As for me, I was planning to ride 101 either Saturday or Sunday but a nagging hip injury will probably keep me off the bike this weekend as I can't seem to get the pain to go away

[Paul_E_D]

MX10, Jumpy, but smooth and non technical. I've never seen it get sacked out.

Hero track. CH, Technical and not jumpy. A good practice track. Gets quite knarly as the day goes on.

[b0xmonkey]

I h It will probably be Freetown or something here though.

Freetown doesn't open until Monday, FYI. They always open a couple days late for some kind of Indian pow-wow. I'm planning on a real easy ride the following Saturday up there though. Because I'm slow.

[maxim_X]

Alrighty. Plans changed for me. Apparently my cousin has been clearing out a super secret old MX track in the woods in Acushnet and we are gonna go ride there Sunday.

[loudbeard]

I'm in, I could do crow hill or 101, they're about the same distance from Quincy anyway. Jay I'd be happy to come and ride your trails again on my new to me bike

[lrrs313]

Looking like I'll be at 207 tomorrow.

[JettaJayGLS]

I actually, on a whim, just got a new apartment...so I'm moving tomorrow. Will have to reschedule.

[Kurlon]

Looking like I'll be at 207 tomorrow.

Damnit... I'll be two hours north and unable to visit/ride.

[loudbeard]

Looks like I'll probably just do Wareham tomorrow. Haven't been yet, closest to the house.

[breakdirt916]

coast to coast dirt saturday!

I'll be riding up to santiago peak in socal after work this evening...going to be a night ride on the way down the mountain...sketchy but fun!!

[maxim_X]

We are probably going to end up in Wrentham tomorrow. Does anyone know any dirt bike parking, and does anyone wanna show me aorund?

[breakdirt916]

oh man...night dirt rides to the top of the mountain are AWESOME!



don't out ride your headlights...the shadows tell you how deep the next drop is going to be...and I wish I had more off-road lights on the bike!!

craziness - sketchy single track, where a foot to your left meant you were falling down the side of a cliff...is pretty f'n scary

[Fast_Eddie]

The are some helmet lights on Amazon and Ebay for around $30 that are dual beam with LiPo batteries.
