To boldly ride where no one has ridden before

philthymike · May 23rd, 2018, 01:20 PM

Occasionally I get a bit mischievous and ride places I shouldn't be riding. Shame on me.

I recently rode here...
https://www.google.com/maps/place/39°48'00.5%22N+75°26'26.0%22W/@39.7999564,-75.4401732,470m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x0:0x0!7e2!8m2!3d39.80012 66!4d-75.4405608

I didn't take many pictures for fear of getting caught but I snapped enough to prove I was there.

Pretty cool place to ride though, nice two track and great scenery despite the toxic waste leaching pond. With it raining for the entire past week some of the trails were flooded though - more than 12" deep...

Now that the steel mill has been demolished they ought to turn this into a place for dirt bikes and motocross riders to use. Perfect place for it where the noise won't bother anybody. But I'm sure the enviro-freaks wouldn't allow that even in an already toxic area.

Anyways, I rode it! I doubt they will forget to lock the gates again after finding all my roost marks in the dirt (traction control off).

A fun little urban adventure that didn't hurt anyone and I didn't get slapped in handcuffs.

Note: my 1st ride in dirt since the clutch upgrade - wow what a difference!!!! You should see me power slide now! I almost don't look like a noob anymore

Just so nobody wastes their time. This location's gates are indeed closed and locked again.
