Where did you ride today?

[Crconnor18]

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.

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.

The Joel and I took Steve Heider and my friend Don to Smithers BC to ride the infamous Grizzbait tour last week!!!!
It did not suck

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.

I’ll check that out, thanks

no ride today, but I did order a Kermit chair, with leg extensions and a cup holder

Dude, you're gonna destroy that thing. I've seen what you do to chairs! No offense intended. But seriously...

Chair arrived today, packs to about half the length of the cheapo folding chairs, I am understanding why this chair is popular with bike campers. got one minor issue, one of the leg extensions tends to fall off when the chair is picked up, easily secured with a bandaid sized strip of duct tape, looks like tweaking one of the braces will be a permeant fix, but I gotta look closer before I tweak it.

spectacular weather forecast for the weekend, I'm headed to Vermont, this year not taking my UTV, gonna ride up on my AK550

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!

went for a ride Saturday morning from my brother's camp in Lowell, VT, Rt 58nover Hazil's Crotch to Montgomery Center, then 242 to Jay then 105 to East Berkshire (fresh pavement) 118to Eden, then Mine Road back to my brothers camp

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!

[Stoneman]

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...

[Stoneman]

It's amazing the difference 10 degrees can make. 55 when I left the house this morning, 60 when I got to Manchland.

[loudbeard]

That’s 5 degrees

[FriskyDingo]

actually, it's an average of 10.5

55 - 44 =
60 - 50 =

now granted, the 50 & 60 appear to have taken place in 2 different locations, so...

I was talking about the difference in temps between yesterday & today when I left my house. But yeah, okay...

That's awesome! There was a time or two when I picked up the youngest on my snow machine. That kid was practically doing cartwheels across the parking lot when he saw me! Your kiddo must've been gleaming!

It was October 4th actually. Took the old boy out for a 3 hour tour. For some reason the cruise control wasnt working. Found a way to reset it. All good now

brings back memories of my first ride with my uncle on his harley

[SRTie4k]

Yesterday rode ~500 miles to scout more alternatives for my Dirty Dog Route.

[Stoneman]

More & more I'm seeing myself having a dual purpose in the stable eventually...
