Bob Eisenman Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 (edited) On 4/22/2018 at 5:17 PM, Bob Eisenman said: Using the rail trail kept me off of roads not having sidewalks but an official response to my question 'is an EUC a motorized vehicle', because a sign at the trail entrance says 'absolutely no motor vehicles' reads: Email response: "Motorized vehicles of any type are not allowed on the trail. This is both to meet MBTA regulations (part the MBTA lease agreement for using their rail bed) and safety reasons on a narrow shared-use path." After nearly being run off rt97 by a long bed semi trailer negotiating a bend in the two lane road ( while in compliance with the 'no motor vehicles' on the Danvers rail trail) I went to Google Maps and found a really nice alternate route to the rail trail which goes along old Massachusetts roads within stone walled rolling countryside estate land (no Google Earth Street View) and a view at one point of part of the Ipswich river. Yesterday's ride along 'North St, Hill St, River Rd. and Prospect St. leads to the center of Topsfield. A short ride from Topsfield to Rowley Rd on freshly paved sidewalk along rt97 completed the connection for a 29 ish mile ride from Salem to continue on to the Newburyport, MA Commuter rail stop near the new 'Clipper City rail trail' connecting to Newburyport and Plum Island. The weather didn't quite work out as planned and about ten miles of the ride were drizzly wet road conditions. My Monster's buzzer became water logged and was barely audible at my destination. After returning home I stood the Monster upright to charge it. By the time it had charged from 20% battery to 40% battery the piezoelectric buzzer volume had returned to normal. In the last few miles one passes through the campus of an old boarding school now called 'The Governors Academy'. IMHO the bikers rail trail north of Boxford is neither a continuous rail trail nor comfortably rideable in sections (brown trace on Google Maps for bicycle routes). Closer to Newburyport (last 4 miles) posted 'no trespassing' and overhead power lines reinforce the ownership of land called 'bike trail' on Google Maps to be used and managed by other owners. My new route avoids all of these conflicts and stays on low use roadways. The newest section of the 'Clipper City Rail trail' (ending closer to Plum Island) in Newburyport is in the final stages of completion. The older section of Clipper City rail trail ends at the boat dock area a few blocks from shopping stores and Starbucks.

Popular Post meepmeepmayer Posted May 9, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 9, 2018 Old location, new picture of a nice Alps view. Back on the (semi-repaired) wheel after a few weeks of perfect weather just right when it broke. I did a 25km ride home yesterday and then a test ride today. Unfortunately, my tube suddenly exploded 15 km in. Fortunately, this was less worse than I thought it would be. A bang and then you just coast to a stop, but with good control, no danger of losing balance. Also fortunately, it happened quite close to home, but it was still a 30 min carry operation instead of a 5 min ride, because carrying means going 5 km/h instead of 30 You can see on the map how lucky/unlucky (depending on how you see it) I was. Ways to carry a wheel: Left hand. Right hand. Both hands. On your head. With your belt as a carrying strap and your sweater as a cushion for that on your shoulder. Didn't try "on your back" as the wheel was so dusty. It's no fun either way and you have to alternate a lot But I got the attention of a guy on a bike who asked me the usual questions about EUCs after an initial "WTF is that?!?" seeing me with the thing on my head. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
