trying to find any one who all ready rode from woodford up some poeple say no fuel for a long dist. ?any help only rode woodford 2 times early nintys

i've done the trip twice, and if memory serves me correct you'll be fine if you can get 70 miles out of the sled.

You can top off at Jenks if you want after leaving woodford and then keep heading north. I can get about 110 miles + on my GTX unless I am really on the throttle. I don't like to take it to that extreme end of the mileage though.

thank you both 70 miles on f7 easy.. but what trail by the map rt 7 . info. I got side black & blue markers ??? & how does yhe pleage work $ per traveled mile or up front . have not called for packet yet . still tring to put together case truck & riding parterners..What time did you guys laeve woodford & about how long did the trip take you .Knowing trail cond.good to fair . aver. speed 40-60 thank you guys again. hopfully snow & all other things fall into place

ct skidoo2 were in colchester know many poeple from there pm me

not sure trail right now, away from my map. but the pledge is up front, as much as you can raise with a minimum contribution of $150-- it isn ot based on mileage. money is due when you arrive at the start location. riding at your speed you're looking at 12-14 hours.

what was your time frame ? ave. speed ? riding partners ,raely just looking for as much info. as pos.

i answered the other questions in your pm... i also don't bother with finding a riding partner. there are plenty of people behind you if you should break down (happened to me the first trip). solo allows riding at your own pace with stops whenever ya want!

START TIME GOT CHANGED TO 3 AM.

Hope the snow adds up over the next two weeks...

there are no rideable trails right now in the souther part of the state, correct? is there any snow down there at all?

brad i might be tagging along with you and dgree if you dont mind...

Gader
I'll take up the back. I just PM Brad, he seems a little skeptical about being enough snow. The way the weather pattern looks right now its only a matter of time before we get nailed with a nor easter.....

I'm signed up for the ride too, and I think our only chance at this thing happening, is the storm that comes in at the end of the month, and that is too far away to bank on.....

that's great, it'd be fun for a few of us to do the ride together. just keep in mind, (*cough*) i ain't been on a sled for a lil while...



yeh... i just don't want to inflict a bunch of damage to my sled is all... but i suppose i'll be ok with marginal snow in the south.



you oughtta join in with the rest of us. with degree's son that would make 5.... which is a good sized riding group.





how many of you will be waiting for gas at the reccomended stop (30-40 miles into the ride i think?)? if we can get to the line early and be in the top tier of sleds, they typically have free gas at 20-mile-stream, a 100 gallon tank or so. first come first serve. it's about 50 miles into the trip.

Really free gas, hmm. Wonder how'll they will feel when we pull up with 3 gallon spare gas tanks strapped to the back? Hope we make it to the front of line.

yeh, gader already lost part of his front end, and damn, those yammy trailing arms are expensive!

I heard about gader, thats what low snow conditions will do. So I'll be out there tomorrow...hahaha

i had to pay to play!

well, free gas is up in the air at this point...

I appreciate the invite. I have a couple guys that are talking big about going, but they haven't asked Tom to mail them the kit yet...so we'll see. I just might end up at the back of your pack.

i would doubt very much that the ride will happen
at least not on the 3rd

unless vt gets a couple of state wide storms, in the next week or so

Some talk of a major nor easter end of next week --- too far away for me to believe it yet.

The models are showing decent chances of storms on the 25th and the 30th. I'm not saying they will happen, but they are on the models atleast.

I'm not really a weatherman, I just play one on HCS.

That works for me. My new Blizzard trailer is being built and should be ready end of next week. Can't wait to have it unload at Woodford!
