Cannonballer 507 Report post Posted December 18, 2018 I've been sick for about a week and way too congested to try riding. I was going stir crazy looking at all the dry, unfrozen trails so I decided to get out and do some trail work. Took care of a few recent blowdowns, and opened up nice half-mile loop that has been out of commision for about 3 years. Ended up doing a 4 mile walk with the chainsaw which was a whole lot more effort than I planned on!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannonballer 507 Report post Posted December 19, 2018 I need to do the same but I am bringing the wood back. This stuff is way too far in to bring back. I just cut and chopped a half cord of easier stuff last week. Wood stove has been sweet the last few nights.Sent from my XT1650 using Northeast Mountain Sports mobile app Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cannonballer 507 Report post Posted December 23, 2018 Got two, 10 mile rides in the past 3 days. And targeting 2 more in the next two days. The trails in SE Mass are frozen enough to be super grippy, and dry enough to have no ice. As depressing as this week was up north, it's amazing to get some rides on sunny, dry, 40 degrees days in late December.

He's been doing nice writing for a bunch of years and always seems to find cool adventures. He was run off of AZ several years ago for posting links to his blog. I never understood that. It was a good way to share his content, and it still left plenty of room to have the discussion part on the forum. I wouldn't mind seeing him engaging in some of the discussion here.
