    MT Washington Ride - New Hampshire - July 29th

    OK - I am posting this early to see if there is any interest in taking a ride up Mt Wahington which is the tallest peak in the northeast. This is an easy slow ride with the NHATV club so no pikes peak style runs up the mountain. This is only offered to large groups and you basically need to go with a club. I am a NHATV member, but you do not have to be a member to go up.

    This wouldn't take the whole day, so i would throw out the option to do some hard core ripping at the berlin trails in the afternoon. Only thing you need is a drivers license and a registered trike/quad to go up the mountain (oh and a ticket). It would be nice to get a few trikes going up there in a line. A few guys on here already indicated interest, so there will be at least 3 of us going. I figure this will not be offered for ATVs to go up in the next few years.

    Heres the details from the www.nhatv.com site:

    Mt Washington Hill Climb on Sunday July 29 at 9:30. The ride cost $20.00 per ATV with an additional $7.00 charge if you carry a passenger. You must have two-up ATV to carry a passenger. Mt. Washington Ride requires a ticket. No one will be allowed up without a ticket. Tickets can be obtained at the base of the mountain in the parking lot between 9:00am and 1:00pm. Anyone that shows up after 1:00pm will NOT be allowed up the mountain even if you have a ticket (no exceptions). Anyone that pays in advance and for whatever reason does not get to go up the mountain will not get a refund. There will be Hamburgers and hotdogs available at the bottom for a small donation. You don't have to be a member. Helmets are not required, but recommended. You must be at least 16 years old and hold a valid drivers license. No riding double, except on a two person atv. ATV must have a valid registration sticker.

    Anyone caught riding off trails, tearing up trails, racing, doing donuts, not following rules, etc. will have their membership with the NH ATV club cancelled.


    Let me know what you think - we can plan a day around it.

    Nice! I joined the club just for this ride. I figure there will be only a few years left that they will allow atvs up there, so your right its a good time to do it.

    We'll setup a time and schedule as it gets closer.

    Any others interested?

    Hi brrcuda!
    I'm interested. I realize that we wont be able to horse around much but the scenery will make the ride exciting and like you said maybe we can rip-it-up on a different trail later.
    Depends on my scedule but I'll do my best to keep july 29th open. Later, Dan.

    OK - 2 and a half weeks til this ride. the ride up the mountain is only like 8 miles, so that will go quickly. Make sure your brakes are in good condition for the way down. 2 Strokes might have to worry about jetting up there - less air per volume = rich. I am taking my 350x so i don't have to deal with jetting.

    I have tried to contact the NHATV club about a few trikes going up with me (a member) - they never reponded back. I did see a 200x in their old pics of mt washington on their site - so that gives the OK for trikes to go. Plus they want the money

    July 29th is a sunday. I'll come up with a schedule very soon for meeting and such.

    I know this is pretty far north - but a nice opportunity.

    Make sure your NH registered.

    Nice.

    They specifically say that you dont have to be apart of the ATV club. 20 dollar fee to go up, license + registration. No helmet rule, so your discretion on that. I might not wear one, NH and all.

    Im a NHATV member, so point at me if any issues.

    You ever been to those trails up there in berlin? We can hit those in the afternoon.

    110 miles - thats ridiculous.

    Yeah i dont know the trails up there but want to check it out. If you know of anything closer, Ill look at the maps and see whats up there.

    I do know the conway traffic is bad in the summer.
