^have not ridden there.

Helped a couple friends wrap up a new .5 mile trail this weekend. Marching orders for build was make it a "green circle". We ran it next to every available boulder and rock...

Nice!

They're a good shop.

Skiing sucks but we are all dirt on the immediate coast. Just a couple miles west we have mixed...

Our local shop had Blizzards for a week or so. My bud just picked one up in Medfurd a couple weeks ago. They're around, but not for long.

Remember when...

Just went back to see when this thread was started since we're in a new year. Ahh...pre-pandemic was oh so nice.

Idk, studs are awesome with ice, but they are so-so in snow, useless in powder, and I don't like them on granite at all...imo. In my local circle, there have been two used fat bikes sold recently in...

Haha!

When we found this line my bud (who also live in JH previously) said this is freakin' Corbets!

Pretty steep V-shaped rock with a couple of big roots, so it's really more of a mindfuck,...

^ya, silly.

Frozen dirt is so fast and fun. Rain/snow line here was within 3-4 miles of the coast.
Finally got our hidden gem of a network fully blown and the firm dirt stayed epic for the fs...

Night ride to beer and...

Rode my 26er today! First time in years. It was actually quite fucking difficult! [emoji3][emoji3][emoji482]

Needed my bike and moved rocks for stability to make the river crossing. Water is high...

Re Exeter-
We have mixed conditions, but still on FS bikes. No need for fat. We should be back to 100% dirt in a few days. Most trails after a couple/few riders are all dirt anyway.

Looks like a super fun trail they put in

I have no idea. Impulse buy at my lbs one day.

Mine is bomber. I forget what brand it is. Might actually be Salsa brand

Edit, ya it is Salsa. Waterproof and zipper is water repellant. I took a couple tek screws and mounted it right to the...

I have one of those on one of my fatties and my knee pads hit it a fair amount to the point that I would never buy again. I'm probably flawed, not the bag.

That is awesome! Go Falmouth!

Motorized wheelbarrow! Is this a NEMBA group or just an unorganized group blasting it out?

So this area sees maybe 10-30 rides week. Maybe less. Idk. So the leaves are horrendous! To the point that trails I've personally made I've actually gone off line and been like wtf! So we blew a 3rd...

Fun ride at the country club last night. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201119/cabe63ec7a6b7c8e514014d91e47cb51.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201119/c61795b6dd36e4972e03e05fc46db29e.jpg

Its gonna be a cold ride tonight! Ready for post ride burn and brews. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201118/2c493ff710a07c58f739bfe4a212d825.jpg

Nice. Where was that tech footy from?

The flip chips are for running 29 or 27.5+. It just keeps the geo close on both wheel sizes.

Yeah! I dig spine lines

Well, if you weren't we'd have to recommend a psychiatrist.

Yes, we've said the same. Riding with him a couple weeks ago, on a trail with parallel lines, just the sound of him coming down was so different than the rest of us. It is a bit scary. His dad tries...

My friends son was posted on the Highland insta page. Pretty cool pic with the leaves. Kid is legit...I've ridden with him a lot. Fun to watch....

Funny, four of us just joined the local snowmobile club. Not one of us has one! :smile: Two guys brought us in and apparently we're going to spin off of them and it will be a mtn bikers/builders...

That's cute.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20201007/7a4ff6003c4acfcb0a87404328a32b38.jpg

Ha! He dubbed his pedal bike "flintstone".https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200929/ee9aeabfbf33097335401bafdb448e50.jpg

Moped Rog is currently flintstone Rog. And I have no idea, nor do I care, but he'll read this and text me for sure.

Oh good, the leaf debate is coming back around.

Those Olympic caliber nordic guys are next level.

Yeah, we should pave all the mtn bike trails. Pave the world!

We need rain

Ah shit! Sorry man. Heal up!

But...the tests are not accurate. If everyone just did what they're supposed to do this shit would end a lot sooner. Masks, hand washing, distancing, sanitizing and just not being an idiot.
...

Throw your front axle thru it and ride her down!

Yeah, I think it was a solid effort as it packs well, but the top layers stay loose. The entire berm is made from what looks like pea gravel mixed with stone dust or something, so it's a quick easy...

Yeah, that's when he was a NH seacoasta. And that is one of the very few berms in that network. They added a few more a couple of years ago and used a type of gravel that is kinda scary loose most of...

Oh man, it's top-secret ;)

Stratham Hill Park. The busiest place in the seacoast with trail runners, dog walkers, and bikers. It is the best dog park for sure! I usually just do casual rides with...

Hit your berm off Jewell last night. She could use some luv but still rides well. Actually that whole trail heading down could use a reroute at this point. I assume there are some politics with the...

Bitching about trails is acceptable if you get out there and maintain, reroute (with permission), and help build new. Otherwise, stfu.

Rog reads this thread, so this is certainly pleasing him. :)

I've been giving him endless shit about having a motorcycle as well as others around here that know him. The fucktard is the last guy...

Did my first lap up there the other day and was very impressed. The place is so buff and maps at every junction are really nice. I need to explore more to see what else it has to offer. I'm assuming...

I was talking to a local Campton guy and some douche waited for him to come out of a trail just to question who he was and what he was doing. They need to get over themselves. As a crusty old fuck...

Apparently there are some real douchebags all around up there between Waterville and Fanconia. They even have some douchebag name for their militant group. They're treating trails like private powdah...

Giddeeup!!

I'm selling my 2016 Hightower with a 2019 frame if you know anyone in need. I think it's worth 2k. No rear shock. Figure if someone local wants it they'd buy a better shock.
Going to post it on...

I cannot comment on pricing, but tax free you have Cycles etc. My old shop's owner is working there now. He is a stand up guy and the brothers who opened Cycles etc worked for him previously.

Working from home. Hit my local today.
This is Mindfuck and Mindfuck had nice grip today...still I missed the last 1'...oh so close....
