- Today it was off to my old riding grounds, Lake Dennison in Winchendon Massachusetts. I forgot about Saturday's and the horses that would be out on the trails. Once I was able to see their tracks I knew where they would be going so, I was on the lookout for them. Throughout the second half of the ride, I was chasing down the junior rangers on their four-wheeler.
i used to ride my dirtbike near there at a track in the middle of the woods next to a railroad bridge.....then, ever since i was a kid riding the trails no matter where i went be it in westminster or templeton or where ever......if i saw horses i would stop shut the motor and let them pass, only a moron would whiz by them on a 2 stroke dirtbike and there were times i saw that.....as for rangers i used to run from them but as i got older i would stop......one time i got stopped in Ayer riding in a field at fort devens.....mp's they were......they had weapons drawn......they thought i was the one who started a fire in the woods......i said not me and they let me go......i never went riding there anymore.......then out in the woods the green police as i call them stopped me for having no sticker......i got a 100 dollar fine......never went out there riding again either, that was that pit off route 2 in templeton around 1987........funny how i remember shit like that but ask me what i did yesterday and i have no clue
I hear you about remembering stuff. My wife and I went out to Greenfield several weeks ago and I'm pointing out roads and landmarks that I cycled on in the early 90's. But ask me stuff about the other day and I go blank. 🤣🤣🤣
@@JustRideZipp2001 ......yup.....we remember what intrigues us i guess.....did you do the mohawk trail? i used to like that ride
@@Joe-pb3lx I did a weekly crit race at the airport in Turner Falls and trained a lot out in Greenfield. I used to do the long climb out of Greenfield on the Mohawk Trail to the Bridge of Flowers weekly.
@@JustRideZipp2001 .....dang thats no easy feat......i used to train on rt 119 in ashburnham into the new hampshire line.....a 10 mile loop.....did it once or twice a week.....until some drunk in a cadillac almost ran into me, i remember that like it was yesterday.....that was 1987 era.....riding my columbia 10 speed road bike, i think i got it from Kmart in leominster......good times back then.....i think mt manadnock had a trail head there where i use to park.....i use to see this cute chick sometimes sitting on her front steps, but that wasnt my only motive......lol.....had to get in shape for motocross
@@Joe-pb3lx Spent my miles on rte.119.
road apples or in your case trail apples
Not fun if you ride thru fresh horse poop, forgot the apples.
