New England B.S. Thread

Boston. In June it used to be "New England" and at Mt Snow in VT. This year they changed it to Boston Tough Mudder and it is in Charlton MA. Actually, its at the 508 International off-road park.

The Northeast one in NH at Gunstock in in September. I wanted to do that one as well, but we have a wedding that weekend. Instead I'm doing a 2nd one in August in Hudson Valley area.

 

Oh nice! I forgot they were doing Boston this year. I think I might sign up for both this year. I wonder if Gunstock is gonna be as difficult as Mt. Snow... I never did Mt. Snow but I heard it was a bitch.

 

Oh but of course!

 

Well after our long drive to the hotel that looked like a prison,


Rebecca got drunk after only one drink but was still on the couch


After that I think she got dizzy and ended up on the floor


So I just decided to take a weird close picture and that's what I came up with

 

Good times

 

Not sure how gunstock will be. Mt snow was brutal but a lot of fun. It rained everyday for a week before it last year so there was even more mud. This year they seem to be changing the courses and you do 2 laps on a 5 mile course with some different obstacles on the 2nd lap.

 

I was kinda hoping they would find a way to do the Boston one like actually in Boston. If they were able to add like an urban component I think it would be cool. But, I just looked up where 508 international is....fucking west of Worcester!

 

Would of been a good time for face painting game .

 

I love it, Mt. Snow is 'New England', move it 30 minutes south and call it Boston. It's 40 miles outside of the city limits, not even close!

Where's the Hudson Valley one?

I did Mt. Snow and it was rough, they used every inch of elevation to their advantage. Hardly any mud though, tough to make mud on a granite mountain. A few guys who did Mt. Snow with me did Gunstock and said it was much easier. They said the mud was worse but the course itself wasn't nearly as challenging. Also, to be fair, it was pushing 100 degrees when we did Mt. Snow so that obviously didn't help. It was in May so it shouldn't have been nearly that hot out. Lots of people fell out due to the heat.

 

5 minutes away from me. I might go check it out.

 

Haha yeah it's nowhere near Boston. It's right off the pike which is convenient for me.

Got my Coverking neoprene seat covers on today. Kinda excited about it

 

I’ll have to post the screenshot. He actually says “I was talking to someone else who has them”

Idiot.

I gouge on CL. Unless there is someone else selling the exact same item I set my price a solid 20-30% higher, if not more.

If someone starts with what’s the lowest you’ll take I say my asking. I’m not bargaining against myself. If they make an offer I counter.

 

Had similar dealings with an older gentleman on FB market place. $3k for a 3 tier Kennedy box with tools and he didn't want to split it up unless it was "for a premium price" jokes on him that $3k is premium price to begin with. Now a month later he has dropped the price to $2k

 

I told him I was no longer insterested when he wouldn't really budge on price and wasting an hour and a half of my time

 

I feel like facebook marketplace is even worse then craigslist... Ive got a bike up for sale there right now and Im asking $850, willing to budge a bit ... had a guy message me today saying he'd give me $200 cash for it... I just answered "no"... took alot to not tell him to f'off but since its facebook I didnt want him trying to track me down or anything

 

I would like to look at the tools and the rollaway box of the 3 is what I would want. But he was kind of being a prick

 

@Blais03 looks good. Ordered some of those myself!

 

I haven't been, but I have heard good things about Rachet's off-road in Pelham. https://www.ratchetsoffroad.com/

 

Shit, just had to be the weekend of NEMBAfest
