OFFICIAL 2021-22 SLEDDING THREAD


Recommended Posts

I found more of the negetive in riding today, but...

We have been having a big issue with 4-wheelers, SxS's, SxS's on tracks, and the occasional vehicle deciding to tear down our trails this year. 

The first 3 tend to be ice fishing assholes, and the the last one seems to be them too or someone who decides to just go for it, because.

Came across a guy with a tracked SxS tearing up the ditch and our freshly groomed trail today.  Very frustrating.

Another section had a bunch of quads on it.

A third section has had a private field road plowed off by someone to make their lake access easier.  Not to be confused with they own the land or had permission to do that.  

Grrr.

That’s a HUGE problem in Michigan currently too. Especially the lower peninsula.

Always a little here but not too bad. If they ever got caught they’re liable to get beat down

Apparently, one of the local riders got sick of a quad on the trail this weekend, got the guy stopped, ripped his key out and fucking hucked it into a field.

How the fuck did that solve anything? Now there’s a dead quad on the trail. :lol:

At least it was stationary for the time being.  

Edit: We aren't the only ones.  I'd be the angry groomer operator that would push the pile further in for safety reasons.

Went out today and did just under a 100 miles.  Left camp it was -15f....plus a wind.  Coldest I have ridden in a while.  Had handlebar muffs, two base layers, a heavier mid layer and Klim shell.  Just damn cold with the wind whipping.

Yup, cold all day. Wife and I stayed at the Ridge view in Lowville NY last night -18 this morning.  She’s a trooper, throw on the gauntlets and she’s good to go. Only did 120 miles though, they need more snow.

Yeah, need more snow here in NW Maine too.  Looks like we're both getting our wish.  Just warm up to a normal 15 and it should be gloriouse.  :bc:
