Sunshine, Freshly Groomed Trails, Whiteout

Riders: MB, Bill, Gregg

Miles: 162

Gregg's fire damaged sled is still in the shop but he got the dealer to give him a loaner Nitro so he made it out on the trails with us on Saturday. We got over 2' of snow over the past couple of weeks and nobody got out and broke in our feeder trail so we ended up trailering up to Groton to ride.

We had a quick bite at P&H and then met Gregg up at the heights. The weather was perfect and the trails were groomed out and covered. We hit a stretch of trail that was freshly groomed and we all took turns making first tracks. It was sweet.

We rode out of Groton, through Peacham, hit Marty's in Danville, rode up through Burke and got to the outskirts of Island Pond before heading back. We stopped at Marty's on the way home to get some lunch and steaks for dinner.

By the time we were coming back through Peacham it started snowing really hard and it was dark so it was hard to see. There were almost whiteout conditions and it was slow going but we all made it back safely. WooHooo!

We loaded up Gregg's rental sled on the trailer and left our sleds at his house while we drove down to Lucky's in a blizzard to pick up Gregg's sled and drove off the rental. We probably only got up to 45 mph on 89 because the snow was coming down so fast.

The trails are getting better and better. It's shaping up to be a decent season.

Ride on!
