Gold Member 800renegaderider Posted December 8, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted December 8, 2021 I said mountains although it’s trail riding mostly in western and northern Maine and northern NH. Try to avoid lake riding. Railbeds are boring. Fields and off trail is fun but don’t do much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enduro900 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Personally I like the wooded twisties’…..I do not like riding ice at all, and frankly don’t like the ex-rail beds (too straight and I get bored). Scenic woods…..that’s my ticket! Mountains to me would be too much time/work getting unstuck…..and I don’t like going off-trail as I never know what lies beneath…though from time-time I’ll hit some 2-tracks now that I have GPS/won’t get lost Edited December 8, 2021 by Enduro900 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 I only trail rode for years. A friend introduced me to riding in the Rockies. I got hooked, and would much rather mountain ride now. Its a whole different style and skillset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zr800m10 Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 I also said Mountains, but these may not be the same kind of mountains as the treadstarter thinks... these are swedish "fjäll". And also winding wooded trails. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid Americans could still manage to find a way to ride off of it and get the trail closed though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legend Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Days like this you stay fairly close to the trails. Easy to get lost. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sled_Hed Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Wooded trails got my vote. Unfortunately it's almost impossible in this area to not have to hit a ditch or rail bed at some point for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Could have selected a couple of them depending on snow conditions. Mostly ride wooded trails and railroad grades/forest roads. Around home if the trails are not open can ride lakes and rivers but that's boring to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold Member EvilBird Posted December 9, 2021 Gold Member Share Posted December 9, 2021 I prefer twisty woods riding but also like seasonal roads and powerlines thrown in to mix it up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racinfarmer Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Winding trails, but if I want to ride local, it is more ditches and lakes and rail grades then winding woods trails. Right meow, that is where most of the riding happens. Might need to go be a derelict on some local lake this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayatodaU.P.eh? Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 While I have a trail sled and don’t mind to ride them too much, I greatly prefer riding days that make my RMK look like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, the vast majority in the back yard is woods, but to do a fun loop we're bound to hit a few ditches, fields or RR grades. The vast majority though is 0-41mph, and quite enjoyable. 2 hours ago, wrinkly balls said: The internet because it never fucking snows around here any more!!!!

If we had more off trail or forest service roads locally I'd be all about it. Going slowly and picking methodically through endless fluff is appealing. Being realistic in the Midwest you have to have the right group of like minded friends to do that with, like rock climbing. One of my buddies is primarily an off trail type and has the time to do it.

Can I borrow your Sat phone and Avvy Backpack? But seriously, I've been meaning to do a 'on trail' ride from L'Anse to Marquette and back for quite some time now. If @Not greg b can manage not to fall down again between [insert neighborhood bar/grill here] and home it would be a great ride from L'Anse all the way to the Soo. @fortune46x would make the ride enjoyable aside from stopping to fill his 2 pint oil cannister and check his squish every 14 miles, when he wasn't bitching about the GD Soo. Group ride anyone? 1 hour ago, Legend said: Thats me. Its over 10k ft. Always run belt a little snug. 10k is heavy breathing territory. Take a buddy.
