    Took advantage of a Monday off and took on the northern section of the Central Mass trail on the 890. Close enough to the homestead to click off little sections here & there on some solo day trips.

    Mostly two-track with some rocky climbs here & there. Puddles were deep but passable for the most part.

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Rode the NEBDR for the last 3 days, from the start in Hancock NY and finished in Tyson VT. Unfortunately once we hit mid VT, there were just so many washouts we couldn't really get through anywhere to keep going (was originally going to end in Bridgewater), so we just peeled off and headed home. Weather was great, surprisingly.

    What’s the central mass trail, I don’t think I’ve heard of that one.

    Here you go. The 501 would probably be the best for this if you’re not slabbing far from the route.

    Definitely passable with a GS if you have cohones. There was no area I was worried about passing w/ the 890 minus some deep puddles.

    Looks like it’s not too far from home. I’ve been doing some light touring on the 501, not too uncomfortable slabbing, maybe I’ll do a start to finish ride sometime.

    If you want something a little more challenging, check out the Johnny Appleseed Loop. That one is more up the 501's alley. Mid-State Trail is a little lackluster, more a mid-sized ADV/DS ride.

    Looking forward to a long-term review.

    ~350 miles impromptu solo ride. Got caught in unexpected heavy rain riding Ortega out but the weather in the desert was well worth it and I eventually dried out!

    Re: Where did you ride today?

    Started in Wilmington, VT. Took Rt 100 to Stockbridge, 107 to Bethel, 12 down to Woodstock, then the real fun started. 106 to Springfield was really nice, quick trip out Rt 11 and picked up Rt 35 south from Chester to Townshend. 35 was absolutely the highlight of the day, fantastic road. From there, just 30 down to Brattleboro, and Rt 9 over Hog Back Mtn and back to the Airbnb in Wilmington. 230 miles for the day, fantastic throttle therapy for a very stressed dude!

    This is also the first real ride I’ve done since having Tim at Superbike 44 refresh and respring the suspension. What an amazing difference. Super pumped with this Multi now, she’s a hell of a fun ride!

    44 degrees when I left my house this morning. Didn't see 50 degrees until I hit the magic spot in Hooksett by Mount Saint Mary's...
