Franklin today 5/6

[union]

Looking to ride this afternoon. Have to get my photo taken with the woman at 11am so I probably wont be out there until 1 or 2 pm. Not sure how long Ill be out there. Hopefully a couple of hours but we will see how things are doing at that point in time. Ill have a dark grey Tundra and a CRF250 with 311 on the front plate.

If you don't wear yourself out, I'm headed to Freetown in the morning.

This morning? Because Ill be needing a delorean and 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to make that.

Week days are almost impossible for me

[Chippertheripper]

No, Monday.

Did anybody else encounter the bottomless rut? Can't wait till it gets really muddy in there! A few of us will be riding Thursday evening if the weather's decent. 2 plated KTM smokers and a newer YZ.

Not sure which one you were talking about but it was a good day.

Wow, that little washout could catch you out if you didn't see it coming. I gotta get down there and ride with you guys one of these days.

Where is the parking area to ride in Franklin?

Its on Forge Hill road past the YMCA by the water tower. Best thing to do is drive in and turn around and park on side of street.

Thats an uphill rut. There is different ways to get up but its not something that you would fall into. Looking at that pic the trails run from in front of you at the bottom of hill to behind and to the right a little. I just happened to take the far right side up the hill and park there in the middle.

The way that second picture is it looks like that rut is running perpendicular to the trail you guys were riding down. I understand your description though and guess it isn't so bad after all.

ya...that's the hill...you'll know where it is..and it's full of sand

but wow, I'm surprised Bruce actually took pics this time, ha

If you leave the parking area heading straight towards Grove street, following yellow triangles. The loop curves right, then there are a bunch of ruts in 1 spot. The middle one is way beyond axle deep, and will stop your bike by the fork tubes. It's a really cool surprise!

I've got GOPro from sunday, just need to figure out how to get it up here. It sucks being a neanderthol.
