DriftBusta Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 2 hours ago, Kivalo said: Thanks fellas, I was pretty bummed and frustrated this morning. I hate getting skunked on sled rides with down sleds. Brothers sled blew his clutch rollers off last week and that was the end of his weekend. Got it fixed and back this past weekend. Hopefully you get it figured out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Blackstar Posted January 24 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted January 24 700 kms for the season. Rode my old Cat 300 kms today with the wife, my buddy on his yellow Doo, and I lent my Mach Z to an old friend. He’s 79 and sold his sled 3 years ago. Last 3 hours were in the rain. Trails we rode today are all closed now. Our trails are likely done here for the season unless the weather makes a big turn around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akvanden Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Riding is pretty much done across the entire Midwest. The warmth over the next two weeks will melt most everything. Will take a miracle in mid to late February to get things in riding condition again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve made reservations there for mid Feb but may have to cancel and turn guys weekend into an ice fishing only weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 We're supposed to be in the U.P. right now, heading from Copper Harbor to White Pine. Instead, we're taking tomorrow off and doing a local SxS ride. All I can do is laugh at the absurdity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bontz Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 48 minutes ago, Doug said: What were the reports from the guys that still went It wasn't good. The exact text message was: "100% the right decision to not do our trip. We only made it to Houghton from Twin Lakes. As you get to South Range the whoops really pick up and turn to 2-footers all the way. You can only ride about 20-25 mph and people were saying the whoops continue all the way up to Copper." That was from my nephew and his buddy, who came home the next day. The other crew that was up there, left the same day & cut their trip short by 3 days.

That coupled with temps in the mid 30s probably didn't do much for the trails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bontz Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I see up by our riding area in NW Wisconsin, they pulled stakes on several of the lakes including the biggest part of the trail system on the Chippewa Flowage. I guess our buddy in Alaska can gloat about it, as the business owners suffer through this winter's WEATHER CYCLE. We did a 90 mile RZR ride yesterday and although it wasn't as fun as a snowmobile trip, it was still a good time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
