PolarisCobra 132 Report post Posted January 30 Got to do my once a year (at least) ride with BigGuyNH on Saturday. Left from the Newfound General Store, which is a fine starting point. Was a bit warm in the afternoon, but we got in a few miles, and had a great time. More than our share of bumps in the road, but all ended well. It's possible that one of us manages to hook a ski and go off trail a bit, resulting with a sled on it's side ins ditch. Got the rider vertical, and the sled on its track, and everything out f the hole with no damage to people or equipment. Thanks to the two guys who stopped to lend a hand. Pushed a stuck sled (not ours) out of a water bar, there were lots of them, which is no surprise this winter. Ran into a group with a dead sled (fouled plugs and dead battery), we were able to do some back of the group troubleshooting and loaned out a set of jumper cables that got them going. Only took one wrong trail that had us looking at a very unfrozen lake between us and our trucks. That added a few miles to our day, but that's nothing to complain about. It was great to finally get on the trails. 1 snorander reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PolarisCobra 132 Report post Posted January 30 Better than being at work... We really did have a great day. Nothing broken, no one got hurt. Not as many miles as we would have hoped, but it was good to be out in the trails. 1 snorander reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
snorander 216 Report post Posted February 2 (edited) We pulled a sled out of a water bar as well in the Lincoln area. We left from the Hebron Store on Saturday. Edited February 2 by snorander Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
