Hi folks, I have acquired an ancient piece of technology known as the DR650, so now I can ride some dirt roads and easy trails, only problem is I don't really know many dirt roads or easy trails near town. Any recommendations for me? Also I have attached a picture of my old KLX at the top of marble for your viewing pleasure.
St. John's sorry, posting that picture from the west coast made my post a little confusing. I used to know lots of good spots in CB. Don't know any in town.
I haven't ridden it in years but it was a fun run. It used to be known for lots or water. Shoal Bay is another one come to town but it's rocky The chicken heads are tricky The last time I rode Shoal Bay a fallen tree sticking out grabbed my arm and ripped it off the bars, I went down and had the wind knocked out of me. Left quite the bruise on my biceps. Good times! There was a nice loop in Portugal Cove but I think it's now closed off. There are definitely a few more but the guys who knew them well aren'y hanging around on here anymore.
So Shoal Bay Rd in the Goulds is it? I'm told there are lots of trails in the Goulds so I'll have to do some exploring.
We just walked a nice little quad loop in Old Perlican yesterday. One direction has 2 tricky twisty climbs but they're both downhill in the other direction. I wouldn't recommend it when it's wet. I want to try it one day.
Ride the new powerline roads for some easy DR650 fun. I ride from the top of the Foxtrap Access road to just west of the Holyrood access road crossing the Witless Bay Line. You can pop out on the TCH just past Holyrood or backtrack.
Lots of Goulds trails Like HunterSon said, Powerline access road is good as well. I'm a fan of Old Petty Harbour Road too. Great Vistas! Shoal Bay Road is a favorite of mine.
There was a back route from Petty Harbour to the Goulds or some such too back in the day. one leg down the hole
