Gauging Interest- Gas Gas Ride Near Saratoga Springs

[GMP]

Sideshow,

I've been to CATRA and Flach's farm, so this is something new I guess. Good.

Is this something I could bring my kids to? The 9 yr old has raced the CATRA black fly when he was 7. The 12 yr old has raced in south Jersey and is honing his rock skills now on a KX85. I torture him weekly. Either way would be good but its always easier to get away if the kids go too.

Usually Sunday is easier riding.
The one year that I rode Sunday I wished I hadn't bothered. Way too much time spent on roads. There were some really fun sections, but there was just too few of them. Pavement would lead to dirt road which changed to Jeep road which changed to FUN for a short bit, then back to Jeep...
Maybe I just picked a bad year to do both days ?

Yep, it's a un-ridden area for sure. I am the first one ever to put anything other than farm roads on the property.

It's rather kid friendly in that it's fairly soft so far... the trails are harder to keep open than burned in.

I brought my '78 PE250 to a vintage ride there a few weeks ago.
Nice people and nice trails.

Brian, I think they changed it some. I don't recall riding too much road on Sunday. Either day you will get plenty of snowmobile trails.

I've done a hare scramble at Flach's some years back and it was great. I think that five or six years ago GasGas had their dealers meeting ride there as well.

Sideshow,

If the date selected is OK, I have no problem comming up for the weekend and doing some cleanup work Saturday for a Sunday ride.

I live in Greenfield so it should be a pretty short drive for me. Let me know which date is picked.

[motogroove]

I would be up for some trail work and some fun riding, if that's what we are still talking about. I'm on the CT shoreline and have offspring in Burlington, VT. I hope a date gets set that works.

A gathering of Gas Gasses would be a gas.

what ever happened to this???
Maybe you could butt in and join the husky gathering over in duanesburg???

Get a date nailed down so I/we can commit. If I don't claim dates my wife will!

As a side note/alternate/addition, Hancock Quarry Run is 8/6-7. Thats an easy no work event for everyone to meet, ride together, and have a great time.
