    Anyone near Groton/ Dunstable mass?

    Picking up a bike from a family member some time in April. We still need to iron out dates but likely will be a Friday or Saturday. Ideally I would like to drive only my truck and leave the trailer at home to save on gas. The truck is a pig on gas and I would need to re-wire the entire trailer before we leave. If anyone is in the area I'd gladly buy you a case of beer or lunch if you could help out for a half hour at the absolute most. Could shoot you some money on Venmo as well. I'll have ramps and a chock to set it in. The house is in the area of Baddacook pond. I could very easily work with whatever your schedule is. We'll be leaving Hartford early in the morning and hoping to be up there around 9:30-10 and staying most of the day. Thanks!

    Just to be clear: you're looking for someone to meet you in Groton/Dunstable to help you load said bike? That's it?

    you had me at free beer. FYI the u-haul bike trailer is your best bet on saving gas. They're only 800 lbs and can be pulled with a class 1 (small car) hitch.

    I have a landscape trailer that's probably around the same. Just trying to get away with putting it in the bed if I can.

    If you want I can pick it up for you just about anytime and bring it to my house in Holland. I am in that area a lot and it wouldnt be too much trouble to bring my trailer along. I owe you for the rd350 tow anyway so no charge lol. I might even be able to bring it out to you depending on how much free time I have.

    I grew up a couple miles from Baddacook. I'm in the next town over now, I can come give you a hand whenever you need. I have a couple decent ramps I can bring so you don't have to drag some all the way up if that helps.

    Of course all of this is off if I'M FEUDING WITH YOUR KIN!

    Thanks Eric. Definitely appreciate that offer, it's very kind of you. We are going up to also spend the day with some family we don't see often so it's a trip we would make regardless of the bike.

    Thanks to everyone who offered to help. I took a ride up there today and there's a nice little landscape trailer my uncle bought just for the bike. That's coming home with us too so it's a pretty done deal. Bike on trailer and we're all set.
