ride report: an SV and Pilot Powers in the woods of Barnstead/Strafford NH

I did start to take Old Ridge Road as a shortcut a couple days ago, but turned around at the water crossing, water was too deep and moving too fast for me

BRADY..... you're the fucking man :bowdown:

that trail would of kicked my ass and i probably would of just left my bike there, said fuck it and walked home lol. well actually i woud have never gone there but hey you did and made it. there for again you're the fucking man lol

Great write up. I went by that road yesterday afternoon, coming home from Winnipesaukee, and wondered about it. Seems like it would be a decent shortcut. I think I have approached it from the other end as well while out exploring.

I'm not far off 156 in Raymond, ping me for a (pavement) ride sometime.

This made me smile. Thanks Brady!

the guy at the top of the mountain is a biker and has toyed with the idea of making a motorcycle only campground, he has several bmws , his son used to work for me,

I have surveyed at both ends of the road and walked the length of it

That would be an amazing spot for a campground. If it wasn't for the no trespassing sign (which I'm sure he needs with all the nearby trail traffic) I would have stopped and asked for a look around.

Dammmmmm Sv's are off road worthy....

yes if you can get there.......that last ¼ mile of road going up the hill isn't exactly what most street riders will ride on even though it's nowhere near as bas as going down the backside

that was priceless. great write up. thanks!
