Thought we could use this thread to plan some rides this winter. Curious to see whos interested in going for a ride this weekend? Nov 25-26th?
Thompson trail breakers is out this weekend and looking for help clearing some of the trails, if I see them I plan to stop and help for a bit, otherwise just planning on doing some nice riding with all the snow we just got. Ash1 has already said hes interested.
Anyone else planning on going out?

Talking to Mark from the Trailbreakers yesterday, he says the groomer can't go out because the marsh spot along the trails are too soft still. They don't want to sink the groomer.
Sunday, riding out to the Marina for breakfast then riding from there.
Look for the good ole 8, and friends.
Trying out my new ICE RIPPER, 1 1/4. Can't wait

Hey BV1,
If I get my little golf diesel running I would be interested in coming up. I don't have a phazer yet, but my Cat is already to go for this winter.
It wouldn't be this weekend but if this lack of snow keeps up around Winnipeg , I wouldn't mind making a weekend of it, in the near future.
Would you guys mind giving us a tour or point us in the right direction when we do come???

Hey Do any of u Thompson guys know a Ryan Chuckrey I was gonna buy a sno pro off him last year i Belive it was a 01 havnt talked to him in a long time. I am still interested in the sled and yeah I may go to Thompson this winter It depends if my buddy sells his caddy and buys a sled then we'll just take his home hardware flatbed with as many sleds as we can jam on it.

Its just so darn much fun!!!!!!!!!!!!! :banana: :fluffy:

Talking with the boys on www.ty4stroke.com, I found some gear to reduce the ice build up, and stock skis from a Mountain lite are 2" wider per ski.
Gonna try those, otherwise I am happy with the sled.
