I of course said yes and I started thinking of a few roads in that area worth riding. I put together an initial ride based on some day trips in the Rumney New Hampshire area and built the route in Garmin Basecamp which always runs hilariously slow on my Core i9 iMac with 16 cores and 96 gigabytes of RAM. I went out a week later with friends during the peak of mud-season and ran a few of the roads as a group.

He found another person for me and I started thinking of parts of the route we could cut if needed.Luckily, Saturday rolls around and I get into position and there were only 10 bikes. then two went off to breakfast and said they\u2019d catch us later and 2 more decided to run a different route (the Northeast BDR section nearest to the camp site) so we were down to just 6 riders, myself included. PERFECT.This did mean we were ahead of schedule the entire day and I had to add a couple of extra roads (bad idea) and we took a bit longer at the touristy spots. In my opinion, the ride was a blast and, because I like to learn and improve my skills and my place in this community, I learned a valuable lesson\u2026one that I knew but never skirted so far to reality that it ever bit me in the butt.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><img  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\"  height=\"auto\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  width=\"600\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/revue\/items\/images\/009\/701\/887\/mail\/Pemi_River_Rally_2021_-_Yankee_Beemers__22GS_Ride_22IMG_6076-2-2.jpeg?1623802968\" ><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>This was my ride. I designed it, pre-rode it twice and was leading it. A member on a CRF250L was a great guy and excitable like me and he saw we were ahead of schedule and offered to take us on a few extra roads. These are roads I had never been on before. Anytime a 250CC single cylinder thumper wants to take you on a ride, you check yourself, your bike and your tires and make sure you\u2019re up for the task. I was up for the task but Vlad, one of our riders who I only just met Saturday was not. I did throw out the disclaimer\u2026\u201cwe\u2019re going to end up here and you can meet us there OR you can follow us\u201d 4 of the 6 followed us down a snow mobile trail that was not on the map, nor was it named and it was a mud-pit. We\u2019re VERY lucky that the trail didn\u2019t dead end. Seriously, had it dead-ended we would have been on that mountain face all day spinning our wheels and likely would have needed a 4&#215;4 recovery service to get out. We were going down hill and no way to get back up if it it was a dead end. Vlad dropped his bike twice and while he didn\u2019t call me any names, he was very unhappy. It was the first time he had dropped his GS, he had 80\/20 tires like me and was unhappy and annoyed. I feel VERY bad about it. I spoke to him later and he was cold and dismissive and I knew he had a bad time and didn\u2019t deserve to be put through that.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><img  decoding=\"async\"  alt=\"\"  height=\"auto\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  width=\"600\"  class=\" pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/revue\/items\/images\/009\/701\/886\/mail\/Pemi_River_Rally_2021_-_Yankee_Beemers__22GS_Ride_22IMG_6079-3-2.jpeg?1623802967\" ><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>The lesson I learned was to always ride your route and always ride roads appropriate to your group.
