Mass leaves!

My daughter moved to Connecticut a couple years ago. :cry:
When I went back for her wedding, I thought that it looked like a great place to ride :thinking:
Doing my research told me that the riding there was kind of limited :naughty:
She lives near Pachaug, but the videos I found looked like jeep roads, beautiful, but not what I was looking for. :rolleyes:

So I put out a "ride share" thread on the orange site about a year ago, hoping to get an excuse to go see my grand daughter :devil:. Not that I need an excuse..... but when a New England riding brother offered his extra bike :banana::banana: tickets were bought and plans were made! He has family in Cali (neighbors with Roger DeCoster!) and now can ride out here, I can ride out there and see that grand baby!

It's a beautiful time of year back there

He said to look for signs

The staging area

My bike for the day, good thing I had matching gear
P1000835.jpg


Of course we rode all legitimate trails
P1000833.jpg


It was often hard to see the trail

Not alot of pictures were taken, others will be saved to protect the innocent

Found a spot for the quad crowd

And a route marker back to the bar?:shocked:

Lots of rocks, roots, water crossings, mud holes, tight, twisty, tree infested, slippery leaf covered trails, I loved it!:thumb:

Videos at a later date.....

Nice! Post the vids! Kinda looks like Ohio with all the leaves! The leaves get so thick they obscure the ruts, roots, water, and rocks! :foul: I've taken regular dirt naps the last 2 weekends!

That looks really sweet back east. Wish I could come up with an excuse to get out there and ride! -BIG DAN:thumb:

Slippery stuff, he said about a month ago was the perfect time without the leaves and drier ground.
 
I'm confused. Where is the sand, rocks, and joshua trees? :confused:

Me too, no chance to rest, first you hit the rock, over the root, around the tree, through the mud and then do it all over again. 60 miles felt like 100. Concentrated riding. Wait til he comes out here and tries WFO in the desert, it'll be culture shock for him.
