I’ve been through this several times. There is also a go around that is hilly and rooted, but very doable. This is part of the Mid-State Adv trail (and a few other dualsport routes). GPX dukes are available on AdvRider forums. I think this is in the vicinity of Ashburnham. Not sure of the ‘street’ name.

Amazing

VStrom 650?

Studded tires

Hardwick is the next town over from me is this in a park or .

Just did this one today in my Daihatsu HiJet 4wd w/difflock. I only have 24" tires and it was definitely as nasty as I'd ever want to do in this little minitruck😱

The topic of the log was not disclosed. How did you manage to overcome this? Greetings from Belarus

Yes!

Hello from Canary Islands!!!!!!

*He needs knobby tires like you, not slicks*

*Glad to see you venturing out of your home area, More North East travel vids please ;)*

anybody try this lately?

I tried this last fall (23) on a DR650.. water was deep and running fast across the road, had to turn around.. I was solo - maybe if i had others with me I might have attemped...

I live in Brookline and didnt know about this road until now. Going to take the dual sport out there ASAP!

I would've went for it

No diesels here. If I ran a hose from the kitchen a door or window would have to be left open the whole time. That would be fine when temps are not freezing or below, as in this video. I don’t need or use a pressure washer in warm weather, just a garden hose. Not feeling the need to buy another machine, just to wash my bike. My tiny garage is already full. On a related note, I’ve used a hairdryer before, to dry it off, but in my experience not needed. Simple is better, quicker, more efficient first me. Your mileage may vary.

Thanks for watching. ‘Not’ wiping the lense adds to the realism, in my opinion. Too busy holding on for dear life. It wasn’t a sightseeing trip after all, lol. My helmet windshield didn’t get wiped much either. Also, high beams were not a good option, because of the white out conditions. That just lit up the falling snow, rather than the surface snow.

Large zip ties work well for this too

Montague Rd has been a mud pit this entire year. Especially the dudleyville side.

'promo sm' 💔

When you can tell the depth if the water by the muffins of the engine noise.🤔🤪🤣

Lot of rocks in there looks pretty easy to get wet

Also Beautiful on YT. HAHAHAH! Subscribed.

If you're not form central MA, you wouldn't understand..

Really like your video titles.

Now that I have the DRz and I'm going to be done setting it up one of these days 🤔... This is what I'm going to be exploring around to find and link together.

sick video big slime

Yes. I’ve actually been through there many times. 👍🍻

Yes, that general area. 👍

Northern Ct.? Hamden??

Wow! LOL. You survived :)

All those trails out there are so heavily trafficked and over-used at this point. Every time I go out there I run into tons of people.

If Rocks Rd was the second road in this video, what was the first? Looked more technical and difficult

Whats the thoughts of adding a lead like on a boat for water skis to the back of the bike? then he can snag some speed whenever he wants, what could go wrong!

Freetown ??

Looks like Mnt Toby?

Looks knarly how roughly how long is it and is it all that rutted up

Hey - I finally got a DR650! I'm doing the Beach to Puppy dog next weekend - should include Prison Camp... great vids!

Are u registered offroad and do u ever have epa problems

Reminds me of trail bike riding in the back roads of bc. Very cool

I keep expecting you to drive by my car parked at one of the gates, or even to see me hoofing it along these byways with my camera around my neck - New Boston Rd, Middle Rd, all of 'em - I love that place. It's my church.

Nice montage of under and over moments

Grew up wheelin in those woods daily!! Made many crossings along the Connecticut and Massachusetts borders. One access point at the end of Barkhamsted reservoir we called beer can ally. That was 40 years ago sadly nowadays off roading is either illegal or frowned upon making many old roads impassible from lack of use. I suspect because dumps and landfills started changing for appliances and tires and contractors waste many old pathways became free dumping grounds, because of this most now are being closed to all.

Ha! You're in my neck of the woods.. love the vids.. I'm saving up for my first DR650..

Thelma says hello 👋

That's a cool spot. There's a trail that loops all the way around and comes back out at that first intersection. Goes up to the solar field, but that's a gnarly hill that I did not feel like testing. Also have to cross a couple of streams.

You are on a Dr right? Heated gear, grips?

Love these videos!

The description given above us about as good as I can give, unfortunately. It is a gated road that is only open from approximately Thanksgiving to New Year’s Day every year, due to a change in hunting seasons. There are many other similar ‘temporarily opened gates’ in the area at the same tube of the year. Harding Hill Rd, Marsh Lane, fur example in the Rutland Prison Camp and Coldbrook area. Also many other parts of the state fur the same ‘ change in hunting season regulations’. There is no hunting on Sundays and after sunset, so that is the best time to go, but other days and times are possible and legal as well.

I live in mass where is this would love to ride
