If you want tech it’s either victory hill area or Burke mountain. But most of us go up for what you can’t get at home, trails like black bear.

It’s pretty great. Although it does have big features everything is built well so it’s feels less scary. Big landings and no trees trying to kill you. I find the ledges trail the scariest trail at nepaug.

I feel like cross had a moment 10-15 years ago. There was a wave of racers, myself included that got into riding bikes from fixed gear, naturally migrated to cross. I remember 150 plus fields at the UCI races. Most of the people I knew from that scene have since moved out of the area. Some...

Probably use one of the routes off of trailforks.

I have a chance to ride here on Wednesday. Anyone have an idea if it would be rideable if it rains hard Monday? I’ve never been, no idea how it drains.

Satan ridge is closed for the season. You can still ride the rest of Nepaug. Ledges trail is still open which I think is still harder than satans kingdom. Paugnut/Burr pond is cool if you like slow tech. Probably not worth driving far out of your way to ride there.

I was going say did someone hack up a mustang

If your looking for a place to 4x4, I’m not aware of any options that aren’t private property. October mountain and beartown allow moto and atv with mass ohv reg. For hiking I like alander mountain trail in mount Washington.

The test I’ve done for years is have someone turn the car over while you have a multimeter on the battery. If it drops below 10v it’s probably on its way out.

It’s all fight club, but people ride there every day and no one seems to care.

I bought an inflatable this year. With the seat, it’s a pretty solid replacement for the kayak. And way easier to travel with and set up.

Round valley

I have a friend that lives near there but spend most of the time on his boat, rarely get to ride. One day I’ll ride there and Daniel’s.

They sell for pennies in scrap value.
