NY get together

[Frank Angerano]

Great pics! Looks like the fall is a good time to ride there. We are def going back. We have to finish the place since we didn’t do it all.   I can’t begin to explain how many people were there and they all seem to be responsible people.   We seen that same view of the train in that same spot. Great place to stop and tape it all in. The mud pits and water holes were a blast.

If anyone is interested, I documented the Gravity railroad on my website, link here:

Planes 10,11, and tunnel are part of the ATV park now. Some of the pictures I took were before it became an ATV park.

That’s some great stuff @mikeexplorer so you have obviously ridden there. How is it ?  How far is that from where we rode this weekend? (Lost trails)

it looks like a good place to check out.

When we were unloading. The guys next to us told us about some place in reading that's free to ride. I'll try to get more info

I’m miserable being back in the city this week.  Can’t stop thinking about riding all weekend and being in the woods. Need to get out more.

The pictures of planes 10 and 11 are the Lost Trails park. The other areas I photographed, I did on foot. Most of my abandoned railroad pictures are done by hiking.

Some of the pictures go back to 2004, many years before it became the park.

Good stuff.  I can’t wait to get out there again. My oldest boy had a blast. Ordered new Go Pros today and mounts.  Noting like having something to look back on.

I have a really old helmet style camera that still works. Remote lens is wired back to the main unit. Main unit also has a lens with a 10x optical zoom.

I still use it since I ski, the main unit that has the battery stays warm inside my jacket. A few videos I made of the park:

This video is their technical (rocky, ungroomed) trails. What is called 20-J,20-I is now called trail 28 and upper half has been groomed out.

First part of trail 10 is now trail 12 and groomed, once you turn on the bridge, it is ungroomed and becomes trail 10 again.

Trail 22 was partially groomed, the large rock area in the washout was plowed, still very technical, but no longer as intense as video shows.

Very cool.  It looks very different in what I’m assuming is the end of the summer ? 

I def want to get back and finish the place off. 

[06kfx440]

Frank. Instead of camping. Want to go for the day? I'm sure we can cover it all in a day with great weather.

Yes I would def do that. Roll out at 6 am and be ready to go by the time they open.  

[mikeexplorer]

You can cover all the trails in one day

Yes, June & July almost 6 years ago, that is why some of the trail numbers changed.

Very good. Maybe you can join us for a ride after you are up and running.

Replace all fluids first. Before you start it, make sure it turns freely. Then drain the gas and replace. Next. Put a new plug in it. Anything after that we can help.

I just picked up a new spark plug I’m heading to the store now to grab fluids with fluid should I get?

[06kfx440]

Atv 4 stoke oil. Do you have a clutch? If so get the wet clutch formula.
