Calling for 2-7 today, hoping for 7 lolz. Raining here since yesterday. Just got called in on OT to do water filters for the night. Double time and a half 👍 Supposed to turn to snow soon.

They refuse to yank the rails and switches so in low snow they would take off suspensions or get jammed in switches, Old railbeds are clear here. Just ballast.

They where fine. Now the snow’s gone. Brutal couple of days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ez ryder Posted December 27, 2020 Share Posted December 27, 2020 Went out local yesterday nothing big more time at the fire at the shelter than on the trail but lots of guys out and hanging out at shelter with bars closed. Pretty cool actually. I picked up a few bags of buns and dogs on the way out and we burnt them up . Club guy who ownes a local brewery brought down a bunch of beer . Did a 35 mi loop picking up busted branches along the way. Groomer getting brought down Monday. Shaping up for local riding anyway 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets exciting with a low base getting pelted with rocks. I never go that way now until later in the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 we have a bunch of never used tracks that would be nice if they would pull them. but the railroad company does not want to give them up just in case. RR at a million a mile plus will never go back to these areas so it's stupid. Down here in the southern part we did hav a bunch of rail pulled decades ago. When there is a little snow it takes the tards about 2 hours to churn all the fresh snow into the dirt to ensure it melts quicker. think the last time i rode southern NH was 2004 or 2005. northern 2011. Since then maine, qb and NB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of clicks as well. I didn't ride the NSST but I'm sure it was 10 times better than the Yukon, basically the same as it is in the summer just with snow on top.

Prob rode 10k miles with it and never once plugged it in. Couple times some fogging started because i ddin't seat the cup properly but once fixed all good.

DriftBusta Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 BV2s are a great helmet, but they are heavy and useless in a freezing rain storm. That’s where you need a heated shield. On the other hand I love my new oxygen, but God help you if it’s not plugged in. And almost all of them are ridiculously overpriced now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
