Lots of good trails up here in Claremont. You can park at Burget King on Washington St
and either go up the hill or ride east along Washington St and get on the Sugar River
trail (rail bed) and ride 8 miles to Newport.

There are a few muddy sections, but easy ways to bypass them. Generally though, the trails are dry
and pretty good. The Sugar River trail between Claremont and Newport is fast and dry. It's also open
to others so you have to watch out for walkers, bicycles and even horses, but the trail has some very long
straight sections so you can see quite far ahead.
The Sugar River trail also features two rail road wooden covered bridges if you like that sort of thing...
We might be up for a ride this weekend if you are thinking of coming up.

I haven't been to Hooksett, but if you go, let us know how it is.
Yes, you can drive ATVs up the auto road of Mt Washington. You need a
valid driver's license, no passengers (unless factory two-seater), no helmet
required and it costs $10 per machine/driver. The website is here:
http://www.mt-washington.com/autoroad/autovehiclelimits.html
It's a great ride, but bring winter coats and gloves and some face protection.
We can get to the Claremont trails from the end of our road, so drop me a note
if you want to try them out.

The auto road for Mt Washington is located on NH Rt 16 between North Conway and Gorham, NH. Probably
a 7 hour ride from NYC I'd guess. The ride itself up the road will take about 25 minutes, or longer if you stop
and admire the view as you go up.
There are plenty of other things to do in the White Mountain region (camping, amusement parks, etc)
so spend a weekend up there if you plan to come up.

So much for "LIVE FREE OR DIE" (Is it still on the current NH license plates???)
I absolutely LOVE that saying..........but I guess there is only so much freedom that will be tolerated.

Actually its the tallest mountain in the northeast. If you take the main road through hooksett, and you take a left once you pass the shaws and car dealers it'll take you down to some nasty sand pits. Be careful though, my stepdad was in the water precinct so he could get off, but i hear they're cracking down on it. Good luck.

I live right on the border, I don't even know where you'd ride in Hooksett. But my quads are all registered anyway.

So where do you ride around here?
Posted by: Sparky8370
Well my brothers and some friends are going riding in the morning. I may go, I'm not sure yet. I bought my first quad in 11yrs this march. Then I just bought a brand new one. Are you registered?
Posted by: Sparky8370
Yea know what you mean. I can't really beat on mine yet. Still need to get my skids. But I've said f it a couple times and hammered it. Bent 2 rims, put rotor through fact skid. A-arms and frame only showing scratches so far. I haven't looked since the last ride.
