Connecticut trail run?

i think i can make it ....ill climb those hills

 

The sandy one should be no problem, the one with loose rocks looks pretty crazy. I think the guys that posted above are going to the spot near ct/ri border. I am planning on getting some guys together to go to the chester spot, where the pictures are from, probably on the 19th next month.

 

id rather play on the rocks honestly....you would be surprised what tacomas can climb when navigated properly ....picking good lines is key....that putnam ct tractor supply is 2.5hrs from me so im not sure if ill actually make it for just a few hours on some easy trails is alot of driving (5hrs)...but we shall see

 

Easy? You can get in a bunch of hard spots if you navigate towards them. Trust me. I ride a bike out there and there's some trick shit. Of corse the bike goes right up it

 

I want to try out that other spot that you guys have been talking about but the place we are going on Sunday is really big and we only scratched the surface of it.
Here's some videos of the RI/CT line area.

Ya that's a lot of driving . How long does it take you to get to RC ?

 

I be there if I don't have to plow all night Saturday

 

rausch is just under 4hrs each way for me but i usually wheel 2-3 days and camp 2-3 days when i go...camping,beer and good people is all part of the fun

 

rausch is just under 4hrs each way for me but i usually wheel 2-3 days and camp 2-3 days when i go...camping,beer and good people is all part of the fun...but to drive 2.5hrs each way to wheel a few hours is tough....is there a place to camp out there and are all those trail legal?

 

I hear you . There legal but I'm not sure about camping.
But I don't mind traveling down into ct . So when you guys figure out where and when ill try and make it down .

 

We can do chester CT on the 19th. I dont know how it would go if we have alot of guys there, a few of the trails are dead ends so its hard to turn around with more than 3 trucks probably. The one trail that erick and i found would be doable. It opens up at the end and there is a area with criss crossing trails and a few gnarly hill climbs.

 

I would be in for this. My truck is almost stock though (for now) and that might be a little problem, that just depends on where we end up going.
I'd like to get into off roading, so this may be a good start.

 

Would you be coming down from vt? I know of a few stock friendly spots in the ludlow area. There is tons of stuff up there. Stock shouldnt be a problem for the trails here in ct that i am talking about.

 

I would come down from southern VT. I don't know any spots around here, I'm sure they exist. do they vary from stock to full build?

 

My truck is mostly stock and I didnt have any problems out Thursday with Evan. The only off road upgrade on my truck is that the previous owner put 265/70/17 instead of 265/65/17 which does give just shy of a 1" lift I think, but they arent at all heavy duty off road tires.

Like I've heard many times on this website and finally experienced first hand myself... "youd be amazed what a Tacoma can clear if you just pick the right line."

 

if we do the 26th i will def go! do we have a meeting place/time in mind yet?

 

For vt offroading i am sure there is alot of stuff, even some class 4 roads can be pretty tough for a stock truck. And there is probably some crazy stuff up there for built rigs. If you want to know about the spots i have been in central vt PM me. I can also ask my buddy also who has a house near mt. Snow and does some wheeling around there. But ya if you wanna make the drive down to do some wheeling thats cool. I will try to get it organized soon and start a list and give everyone details on the time/place.

 

Are all the trails that mild? If so I may be able to make it down, one of my cvs is about to blow and don't want to beat it to bad. I'm used to lots of rocks and climbs but if it's all easy trails I may be down. Don't have much money so don't want to break anything....looks like some good exploring and would be good to meet some of you.

 

Very true. Some roads around here are practically not even roads. ,

 

im on the NH/VT line, if you wanna meet up and ride down together i'd be down for that!
