I ride there quite often. There are some nice loops off corrider 5. i would also ride in Westmoreland if you are going to be in that area. We have a nice 90 mile loop we take from Winchester to Walpole and back. Not a lot of big wide trails, but the smaller ones are nice and both clubs do a great job maintaining. You can also access Pisgah State park from there.

Hey Nor' easter The trails in Walpole are in pretty good shape... I live in Walpole and I am a member of the Walpole Club and was out yesterday and the trails where in pretty good shape (there was alot of traffic yesterday so not sure if they where groomed last night or not!!!)... You can get a copy of our trail map and Westmoreland map of of our websites ours is hooperhillhoppers.com and Westmorlands is www.westmorelandsnobelters.com also if you are riding out of Walpole going north on 5 into Alstead and take the trial out of Alstead that goes to Charlestown and Fall Mountian the trails there where very good Friday (morning and evening)... Enjoy the trails and if you want get in touch with me sometime and I might be able to meet up with you and we can ride!!!! Sorry I would have posted sooner but I was off for the past 4 days and I don't have a computer at home!!! I will PM you with my phone number if you want to contact me!!!

Hope it was a good trip. Trails in my area held up very well with LOTS of traffic this weekend.

Nor' easter how was your ride???

[Nor'easter]

The riding was very good overall, there were quite a few sleds out enjoying a bright sunny cold day.
Thank you to everyone for the replies and information.... that is real reason I believe.. for these websites, I find most people to be well informed and truthfull in there postings..
a valuable tool for clubs .....
I will add that I have seen many thing's on the trails before, but Sunday's ride provided a first ..
On Trail 4 heading towards Keene, there was a group of rock - ice climbers climbing on the ice that formed on the rock faces, they looked like they were pros ..very cool

Thank's again and let's hope for some more snow......

You guys getting snow or rain from this storm or nothing?

[bakersnow]

Snow, but not much yet, very wet. I am south of Walpole, just south of Keene.

[GearHd6]

Did you have much left on the ground down there before this storm?

[bakersnow]

Most of the trails are in good shape, but there are some bare spots. It cooled down so what snow we did get hardened right up. I would think Walpole area would be in very good shape. Might ride up there weds.

[GearHd6]

You Walpole guys must be rolling on the miles with the new snow.

[bakersnow]

Went over the 1400 mark today. Picked a great year to buy a new sled.

[polaris600xcsp]

Walpole has held up very good!!! Hope that the warm spell Today and tomorrow doesnt come and we get more snow on Sunday!!! If so we will be in great shape for next week as well!!! I am off Monday-Thursday next week if any wants to meet up and ride in the Walpole area let me know... I will be at work Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday this week if you want to pm me (or email me polaris800classic@yahoo.com ) but I do not have a computer at home so please call me (603)756-3089 if you cant email or pm by this weekend!!!

Hopefully it doesn't get as warm down south as they are predicting, looks like it could be near 50 on Friday with up to a half inch of rain.

[bakersnow]

Looks like you should have some more good riding for your days off. I am heading to Pitts. on Sunday.
