For new england / eastern canada riders :
If anyone is interested I plan to ride along Mt Washington (NH) summit
trails some week end, late October. This should be an interesting
challenge due to the violent winds blowing at the top. Also since the
leaves begin to change colors, that will be a beautiful ride.
Did anybody ride a unicycle in the White Mountains areas ? I did remember
the rangers are pretty strict on bicycles in that area.

Oli-
I would love to join you for this ride. I’m from Keene NH and would probably bring my 26" Pashley MUni. Please post some more information about what you have in mind. I haven’t been up there in years and don’t know the area well. I’m thinking we’d go most of the way up by car, then uni around? Let the community know.

Oli, this will be off topic but if you write your email in this funny way
to fend off spammers, be advised that your unmutilated address appears in
the headers of your posts so they still have it. Change the e-mail address
in your personal settings also; where to do this depends on the program
you use to post. I use Free Agent, in which case it is Options - General
Preferences - User.

Amen to that! My family and I reserved our personal email address for
family and friends, protected it with diligence and never had a problem
with Spam. I learned about newsgroups earlier this year, posted a couple
unprotected messages and we now have a terrible problem with Spam…I am
really disgusted about it. The problem is that it creates work for the
folks who are trying to respond to our personal email messages (not on the
newsgroup). So we have taken to adding spambuster to our Netscape identity
each time we post to the newsgroup. Most times we remember. Sure is a
hassle. Just a note…we also use filters on Netscape to ward off certain
porn messages. Can’t get them all though.
Keep up the good work, folks. We really enjoy rec.sport.unicycling and
value the insight we receive on so many topics.

Mt. Washington Ride
Oli, FYI:
Us muni folk have to show the world that we do not beat up the trails when we ride and that we subscribe to the philosophy of “Leave No Trace.” It is cool when we can be good ambassadors of the sport. Gives us greater cred and helps the powers-that-be make changes in land-use policy that will give us greater access to amazing single-track in the Whites.
If it all comes together for you, then you will have an extreme ride, and I will be jealous. Ha!
I think they went and had a great time, BUT it was 12 yrs ago.
Wow! I’m pleasantly surprised.
(rant on)
For sure it is a 12 year old thread but the issue stay the same today. The White Mountains is a beautiful area that needs to be preserved for sure but it is the only serious area in New England to hope a good DH ride.
It is a difficult balance to have acceptance from authorities/associations while still keeping riders responsible.
I even searched for placed dedicated to MTB and found a couple of MTB parks with lifts and lot of tracks. The problem: too strict regulations that prohibits everything but specific MTB specs (I got even one place telling me they accept only full suspension bikes !).
(rant off)
But if somebody knows nice trails to ride within the law and with a lot of fun, I would be more than happy to have the address/GPS coordinates/point on a map 
I spend most of my time riding the single-track in and around University of NH. College Woods and Kingman Farm meet most of my muni needs without having to travel any great distance.
