NH Ride...Bear Brook and Pawtuckaway State Parks

[brrcuda]

Hey ,

Another blast of a ride dude.. We hit Pawtuckaway state park today for one last round of winter trails. The trails were really cool. Alot of lake riding and interconnecting trails that are mostly fresh groomed. Some big water crossings that deepa has some cool videos of to show.

Steep icy hills to the firetower peak that tended to be a challenge for some but a great time as always. Thanks for coming up man... Had fun..

250R will be now going to sleep for a few weeks until April after i get a some big projects done at work this month that i need to concentrate on.

Ill throw those vids up in a little bit.

Yeah, that hill was a *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*. Rolled over backwards, what 3 times?

It was a really good ride and im set for a while. Take care of the Z, get it jetted better, i think the UNI filter leaned it out because it flows so much better than the moose filter. Gotta look at that overheating/boiling over problem too.

Gotta look and see what the frig i bent and busted on those tumbles. Need a new kill switch too haha.

It was really fun. Had a blast as usual. Not too sore today, just the pride thing too. Should have taken some pics of that *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* of a hill.

Great pics.. never get sick of seeing these two rides. So what's the story Mike? did the Z take a tumble or two?

any major damage?

[DeePa]

Yeah, really icy hill that i would spin em on, then they would catch and boom. I tried it 3 times, all with the same result. Nothing looks too bad. More worried about the pinging and the one time she overheated and boiled over on me.

That AVS clutch lever came in handy. Def would have been broken off if it was a solid one. THink the bars might have been tweaked and i broke the litle red lever off of hte killswitch hahah.

Louis, paul tried that, twice, and he got stuck both times. So the first time i decided just to run it, and it worked fine. The second time, paul got stuck again, so i decided to kinda launch off of the old broken bridge into the middle and tear through it. Worked out well.

It was hard because on the bridge side, you would get over a little wall, and go right back down and up again, and it was a *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* to get speed and to get over. Its where i almost flipped it in the vid without me wearing a helmet. Didnt want to get it wet if i fell hahahah.

[chris200x]

YIKES!! Now I'm gonna have to go rack up your old 350x just to get even!

HEY! I did tell you that cylinder is on it's last bore didn't I? I hope ya didn't do anything major to her.

The hill to the firetower was super steep and icy underneath. My surTracks had just enough bite and were slow spinning enough to chug up the hills nicely. I think deepa cant stand it that i made it up and he didnt. After the 3rd roll over and i mean roll on top of, i got scared and made him stop trying - i didnt want him to get a spinal injury just to make a hill to prove a point.

was the king of the water crossings and i was the king of the snow hills on that ride... He didnt get wet - i did from the direct splash...

Yeah chris - that tri-z is gettin used and abused. Nice pics, that camera is sweet.

I'm starting to second guess where it says in his signature "Finally in good hands!"

It's all good Mikie!!! Just teasin. Glad no one got hurt. that's the most important thing!

[brrcuda]

kid rides like he plays hockey.......

Younger - i guess in your 20s you dont think about injuries so much. I ride hard, but i also dont want any broken bones at 35....

hey mike, the view was nice from up top - you should see it some time...

[DeePa]

ill get it next winter...son of a *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited*

[brrcuda]

I want to go back just for the pizza.. That *Edited**Edited**Edited**Edited* was good...

[tri-Z ripper]

looks like a real good time guys! ride in nh all the time ill see ya this summer

[DeePa]

we are going back to one of the state parks on 3/9...youre welcome to join up. its a hike for you and you need a registration. Not really worth it registering now, it would be 73 bucks and only last til june 30st. Registrations run july 1 to june 30th

[brrcuda]

Pawtuckaway State park again guys - Sunday - MArch 9th. Id say lets meet at around 9:30 am to hit the trails hard. and Louis Meilke are coming up. Biggest trike gathering in a while.

There are a few trails we didnt make it to and one big hill that deepa has his name on... Its gonna be mild temps this week, so i will keep an eye on the trail postings/conditions, but we got another ft of snow up here this weekend. Its not going anywhere soon.

Louis - got an 86 350x for ya to ride all registered up and everything. Only issue is that it doesnt have the best winter tires on it. 22in buckshot mudder style knockoffs (but more of a desert compound) - so it will be interesting if the 350x makes the big 1000 ft hill with those tires... We'll make it up somehow..

- make sure you bring a tow rope. We have been real lucky so far.. but I think its time to start bringing one on our rides - i need to find my old one. Oh, and we dont need spare 1 gallon tanks on this one. Figure that out in the summer.

Any others interested? - let us know.. These are groomed winter access only, legal atv trails with a few frozen lakes to do wide open runs, and two 1000 ft peaks with firetower to climb/checkout. So we are taking advantage while we can.
