The Canaan,Brighton,Lyndonville clubs did a great job of rolling out the white carpet this past week for all the visiting sledders!!Every trail was flat!My father & I did 400 miles in 3 1/2 days which is pretty good but it was definitely big mileage conditions if anybody cared to do so.Monday& tuesday we saw a total of 8 sleds,beware of deer&moose on the trail!I had a very close call on trail 105 just outside of Canaan village a deer jumped out if front of me,I'm not sure how I did not hit him.Trail 114 A which I call Moose Allley because they always can be seen on this trail,after dark I had a moose take one leap into the middle of very smooth trail and I promptly grabbed the brakes as hard as I could!(studs would be good)...Wednesday we made a loop starting from 142 south,picking up the Yellow bucket trail,trail 1,102,Pipeline.Pipeline had thin snow cover but the flattest I've seen in a long time! We took a lunch break in Burke.After lunch we made a very bad mistake of taking 5N!From Coles service station to OS15 the trails were absolutely destroyed!Gi-normous moguls and huge trees litter sections of the trail and others were hidden beneath the snow,We were happy to reach Brighton!..Trails were outstanding so I didn't stop to take many pics..........my father was looking to win a few games of blackjack but the casino was closed!..lol Click to view attachmentClick to view attachment[attachment=4209

The family & I hit some of those same trails last weekend (mostly Canaan Border Riders) and they were excellent. Plently of snow and they are 100% groomed and frozen. Go have fun.

Ya, I remember seeing the blue Fuse.Tuesday trails were simply amazing!Brighton/Canaan had their whole trail system groomed at the same time!...We rode a half day on thursday and noticed the traffic picked up considerably.

beer_cheers.gif Really and truly have to hand it to the groomers over there, they no there shit and never let me down. You really need to check out riding during the week over there. You not only own the trails, but are they sweet, to and from. The weekends tend to bring out all the warriors, and traffic, but mid week, ohhhhh, once you taste that, your a changed rider. Did a 89 mile ride yesterday, and was so happy to have met the groomer on the ride home. Made my last 30 miles home sweet, and I laid fresh tracks on it. smiley-faces7.gif
