The fat lady has sung, and except for the locals, the season is done. Its time to take stock of the great season we had, the people we met, and the things we saw. Make a list and check it twice, theres lots of things to do to get ready for next seasons riding.


Days left till opening day Dec 16, 2008

248

Crap, already screwed up, its Dec 16th!!

Wow - looking at that LARGE number nearly puts me to tears.......

Ahh, but just think, in about 9 weeks, the days start getting shorter!!

Dude, the trails arent even closed yet... GET OUT AND RIDE!

But really. I cant wait until next season!

Pics taken yesterday in Pittsburg NH.

you mean, never too early

I would love to ride again, but 400 miles in a truck to ride maybe 40 miles on the sled, plus the wear and tear of mud on the sled....

I've had years with late riding like this, faced by replacing all the bearings in the fall after the mud has chewed through the bearing seals and letting water in, rusting the bearings. Its lots of fun on that last ride, but when I'm pressing new bearings in the fall, I'm thinking "Why the #!*&#!! did I have to do that one last ride?"

My last ride last sunday was fantastic, and I want to end the year on a high. For those who are close to the snow and can get out there, have a ball!!! I'm sure we will have reports of great, but limited riding in the Groton area, as well as spots near Island pond. If your close, go out and have a ball. I'll be looking under my sled and planning a new 136x1.25 track with studs for next year.



247 days till Dec 15

246 days and counting!!

Same here, but a 121 track, blew a few studs on the older track this winter and the backers pulled out,..bummer. Try looking at Als snowmobile in Derby, he has some good deals. I got about 5500 out of it,..so I wont complain too much, (although Ive done much better before). I agree with you on the last ride scenario,..I went out with a high also, time to let it rest, Im looking foreward to warm weather and ATV season!

if only this rain was in the form of snow

Was snow here but didn't stick. Saw the hills and they are covered. Above 1500 feet there were accumulations.
