Riding the Hampster Trail | The Stupid Things Old Guys Do
I confess that I am one of those stupid old guys (60 plus) that thinks riding off-road is a good idea. I have no delusion that I am a great rider or that my aging bones are in the shape to sustain the rigors of off-road riding. But even so, it is still fun and challenging, even at my advanced age.
My goals and that of my riding partners is to ride as many of the Back Country Discovery Routes as possible. In fact, this August we are planning on tackling the bulk of the Northeast BDR, which is rated one of the hardest of the 10 BDR routes.
To get in shape for this adventure, we decided to ride what is known as the “Hampster Trail.” This nearly 400-mile track runs the length of New Hampshire from south to north and is advertised as being “big bike friendly.”

Fines for getting caught riding in posted areas are $248, so it can be expensive.
Do not believe me or the forum posters, call the New Hampshire Fish and Game at 603-271-3127 before you decide to head into these areas.
