I'm putting studs on the Husky Friday, planning on Danville, Derry, or Clough this weekend. Not sure which, but I'll ride somewhere. Tim

Levesque and Crestinger rode Clough last Sunday. Their Cape ride got snowed out.

Four hours in two days in the berkshires, best winter ride ever. Other than stay out of the water is there a way to keep the front brake from freezing.

The word is conditions at clough have been perfect. Of course, now that I'll be back on the bike in a few days, we will get a foot or so of snow or something.

If you're studded to ride Clough, you should be riding SCTR's scramble next week in Kingston.
For details, see you at this months MVTR meeting.

Bear Brook Tends to be more of a pin it, and hang on type ride... clough would be more like the HS on Sunday... or it will just wear you out, and you will be screwed come Sunday....

If I can get my bike together, I would love to get out somewhere Sat. First ride since September!

If I get my studs mounted on the 610, then I'm in.

Sorry, I have a old Husqvarna 610 I want to ride for pretty much the rest of the winter. I'm trying to keep the hours down on the 250 I'm using for the races. I just have to swap my tires over from the 250.

I got it. Makes a lot of sense. You must get a good work out with that 610. About Saturday...what time were you shooting for? I live about an hour from Clough. I was hoping to get in 2 to 3 laps.

I'm about 45min away, probably around 10am or so. I'm off this weekend so I'm pretty much open to any time.
