Used to work at the intersection of 199 and 22. Hipotronics. Stan sold the company in 1995 and started another in Copake. Worked there for 5 years until moving to my current employer, which is much closer to my house. Harney tea bought out the Hipotronics building around 2001 and I was fortunate to get a guided tour of the warehouse in exchange of explaining the building configuration. Haven't ridden in Old Forge/Tugg Hill but have ridden in Tupper lake with coworkers. After a close call with a drunk rider, I stopped riding there. Will see what can be done about hooking up. My employer has a number of projects in Canada, and next time something comes up in the Toronto area, I'll contact you. Mike

Arnoff is on the 'other' side of Poughkeepsie. Let me know next time you head down... Or I'll send a message next time I'm in Pittsfield.

I know that hillclimb... Pittsfield state forest, at the upper end of the powerline trail and western side of Jiminey peak. Me heading up on the other side of the pond... Can't believe its been 3 years since I've ridden there.

Where on the Hudson? You might be in my neck of the woods... I'm out for the weekend. Attending a graduation party on Saturday. Sorry. Maybe next time???

Nice. Definitely looking forward to riding there, along with Glamis... Just need to fine the time... The months of January, February and March...

Congratz, Andy. Enjoy your retirement.

They don't welcome my rides there Thanks for posting. I believe you left off the 8 in your areacode... 518...

Thanks, everyone. For a single ride, the NH permit isn't cost effective for me. Too far away to justify weekend riding. If the PA conditions were suitable, this could have worked. Not a biggie, just looking into the feasibility. What sprocket? That was Yamaha Power... Nothing special there, just something I've learned from you during the winter rides.

Was thinking of the same, when I read this post last week. Nice shots. Need more stories, ride reports... Thanks for sharing the highlights.

Nice rides!

Don't tempt him, John. He MIGHT build something for the event. I KNOW Trailblazer has connections.... What events do you have for us land folk? I could be tempted to bring my 4 wheeler...Its NY registered and insured for trail use. Believe PA recognizes NY - will look into this. My only concern is that my motocross club is hosting a practice/race that weekend and I'm needed for scoring and computer setup. With your gathering on a Saturday, I might be able to attend. Oddly enough, I drove by your exit last week on my way to/from Baltimore. Its a fairly long drive to my exit on 84... Sorry for the blurry image.

I can explain.... was half asleep...replied to a topic from another computer which required manually logging in...that combined with 5 hours of sleep after working a long day at the track dealing with signups and scoring races...Kids, DON'T try this at home. Nice pictures, John and JG. Keep em coming!

Ok... now to post this in the RIGHT spot... Nice! Thank you, JG. Will keep you updated on the schedule. Nice trails. Still thinking about that ride and want to go back and explore more... Thanks, Linda. Sounds like a good plan to me.

I don't blame you.... nothing compares. Have something in the works around June with a project near Gatineau and a second project around Thanksgiving in Montreal. Might have 2 Thanksgivings this year. Now I know why I'm fat... SWEET!!! Thanks!

I'm up for a day trip. Any ATV trails for a ride? I'm NY trail legal. Someone told me a 'gathering' is not official without a ride. Luckily, it wasn't on this forum! John, glad to hear your wife didn't make it to work that day. I was planning on heading down with a friend to meet one of the engineers for channel 11 and get a tour of the transmitting equipment in the RF room of tower 1. Luckily, the trip was canceled the night before...

Here are a couple... Looking forward to the next ride!

Rub it in... I'll have some, soon enough. With luck, there might be a couple in or around Toronto.

Checked out MX338 over the weekend. Nice track. Regret NOT bringing my quad there when they had Open Practices. Didn't get to see much racing, just the lap by lap results...as the riders were scored and entered into the computer. Despite the number of quads running, its fairly quiet. You couldn't really tell anything was racing from the officials booth near the concession stand.

WOW. I'm speechless. Excellent photographs. Thank you!! Please post more!!

Congratz on the new addition!

It is, but I prefer talking to the riders here.

Thank you, JG.

Gutz, Have the CARB container. Will check the spout for additional information, but for now what I have works. Thanks for the assistance.
