I know a couple of places, my friend has a track in chesterfield and aslong as you sign a waiver he'll let you ride there, i know a couple other tracks they are kind of sandy and whooped out but still fun. One is in northampton and the other is in hatfield. Let me know if you wanna go sometime i have no one to ride with anymore all my friends sold there quads.

Hey, I just moved out to Charlton a little while ago. not to much of a hike to the western part of mass from here.

Just found out about this event. I'm injured so definitely won't be participating but this hill looks pretty insane. So I'll be there! It's in Monson MA put on by the Quaboag Riders http://www.quaboagridersmc.com/home.asp

Monson is about 30 minutes east of Springfield maybe 45 west of Worcester.
Starts at 11am

If you guys have places to ride I'll take a trip out there to go riding with you guys.

I've been there before....My friend and actull rip up the hill when there closed... Its actully in heovos 4..... Pretty sick

Posted by: Sick0

There is couple of places to rider here, but I'm sick riding by myself... Its just too much trouble to get my friends to go riding... So rided with new people and new places...

Haha, yeah I'm in the same boat, can never get anyone to go riding. It's either "too dusty, too cold, too hot" My one buddy Jeff who does go a lot with me has a suzuki king quad that will go through anything.

I ride a honda 700xx and just put ITP mudlites on the rear and rzr 2's on the front.

A good place to go is an ATV park up in Canaan NH that has a full day's worth of decently hard trails. Hopefully I'll meet some people at this hillclimb that know of some good places to go riding.

Once I'm all healed up in a couple weeks I'll go riding pretty much anytime any day.

Hey Sick0, a while back someone was telling me about some sandpit in dalton you could ride at i know thats up your way, you ever been there? I actually broke my wrist riding a couple months ago, had a screw put in it but i will be able to ride again in a couple more weeks so when im fully healed we should defenitly go riding one weekend.

Posted by: Sick0

I've ridden in dalton once... I think its a bust these day, cops are all over it...... I think was pretty cool if I remeber.... but when ready to ride hit me up...

I ride in hinsdale.. which is above dalton all the time..

That track looks awesome, I've never really hit any big jumps like that. Always doing hill climbs and thick trails. how much distance is between those landings?

Posted by: 88redrocket

Im not really sure on how big the gaps are, we never really measured it. We are thinking about turning one of the doubles into a triple because we all can overshoot the landing by alot.

have you guys ever riden at crow hill mx park in templeton ma
there are alot of sand pits in templeton there are some on chruch hill road that you are alod to ride atv you can drice your truck right into the sand pits.

Posted by: Fear250r

Anyone know when the hillclimbs in Monson are? Or, if there are any others in the New England area coming up? Or have I missed everything for this year?

Posted by: partyboy424

It looks like the hill climbs are done for the atv's and dirtbikes this year. They have a 4x4 truck one next month and then I think they close for the season.

I Finally rode my quad today for the first time in almost two months, looks like I'm completely healed up. If anyone has places to ride; I'm willing to take a drive out there pretty much any day of the week. I've only run into a couple people since I've been in Charlton who even have quads and none of them seem to ride anywhere around here, they all trailer them out of state.
