I know its kinda early to be planning a ride but all of use North Dakota guys need to get together for a ride next winter maybe in Bottineau?

I'm up for it if I have the money. My friend and I live in Fargo and we're already planning some rides with our friends near Wild Rice.

Lets just hope we have snow!

I'm in, i live in north Fargo and sled in far north Moorhead around county road 22 so give me shout this winter if ya want to ride

Was up there a couple of times last winter...nice area to ride.

GPS track from May 14...


GPS track from Presidents Day weekend...US side


GPS track from Presidents Day weekend...Canadian side

Can I come? [Moorhead]

Will ya let us Minn. guys come also (Thief River Falls)

Sounds good, not too early to plan, we started planning next years rides when we melted down this spring. Bottineau is great, always have a blast up there.Valley City area here.

everyone is welcome I just think it would be cool for some of us to hook up and ride together....Just have to remember this post next winter

We've been up and stayed on Lake Metigoshe (sp?) and had a blast in ND and
over on the canuck side too. There was no snow here in MN at that time and it
was a long drive from St Paul but worth it.
Let's do it.

Bottineau is kinda far away for a 16 year old from Fargo but if I do come I'll probably bring about 10 friends. :beerchug:

Are most of you guys on the east or west side of ND? Where are the Turtle Mountains? How about the MN lakes area around DL? I guess the snow is so unpredictable now.

Come on 96-97 winter

I live on the east end of ND... Bottineau is about 3 hrs or so from Grand Forks. The Turtle Mountains are just a few of miles north of Bottineau... nice trail system.

I like riding the DL area too, in fact I do most of my riding in NW Minnesota. Like you said, all depends on the snow.

Well Im in Minot I just said bottineua becaseu the always seem to have alot of snow theres trails there to ride and you can go play in the fields and race across the lake.

And if possible maybe suring Xmas break so the college guys could come to

It looks like you are allowing Minnesota riders and Polaris riders in, so count me in. Always fun to ride new areas.

Just thinking about this again what weekends do you guys think would be the best?

I grew up in Grand Forks, was born in Devils Lake. My folks grew up is Bisbee and Rolla. My Grandma and other relatives ride in the Turtle Mtns all the time. I never rode there. Shot a lot of ducks and geese in the area , though. From Maryland to Grand Forks is 1,550 miles, 26 hours. Drove it three times, flew it many. Wish I could join you! :banana:

Sounds like alot of people might be interested.....could easily be around 12 to 15 from this area...between Xmas and New Years...works for most I would think. Should set a date and get reservations soon...could turn into a big HCS ride

Wow didn't realize there was this many people from the area on here. I'm from south of Jamestown, ND in Marion. I would be in and I have a cousin from Fargo that I ride with most the time that is usually up for whatever. We ride up at Lake Metigoshe a couple times a year stay at the quilt inn right on the lake pretty much. Seems like they have had some great snow last few years. Just let me know the time and place and I'm in or if you see a 03 Red F7 with snopro stickers and a 151 longtrack on the trail wave me down.

weekends are the best time let us know when we might have the great white north hsc ride and some of the northern minn boys will show up Thanks later

If it were over christmas break I would go and I could get 2 or 3 friends to go also. Just set a date.

Is this a Yankee only ride or are us Canucks allowed to join in. We are not too far from Bottineau. The peace gardens are 2.5 hours away for me.

Anyone is welcome just would be nice to meet and ride with new people

Would new years day work that falls on a Sat? or would everyone be to hung over?

that sound like a lot of fun we should also set up a big run from gf to to cadian border there are great trails and backcountry that i know about

Redf7sp,

Marion, huh? I live by Nortonville. Went to school in Edgeley, and am now working in J-town.

New Years day would work. Just say where and what time.

Im in! At least the EGF guys are going... :beerchug:

TOo bad we already have the MI and ID trips planned...probably not enough $$$$$$ left over to meet up in Bottineau. If you guys set it up, make sure to let us know how it goes. A group of us (non-HCS people) rode up in Walhalla last winter...that was a pretty good time too.

Well we are going to have to wait before we plan it for New Year's eve. Last year there was tons of snow in November and ground in december.

Im in I live in minot also ride in bottineau alot over the winters.. nice place to ride...cant wait

Me and the F5 can't wait. Need to get the break in period in so I can open her up.

That light dusting of snow we just got today just makes me want to ride even more.

Hey guys, I just got a PM from goldenboy about both of us being from Fargo and it inspired me to do a Fargo search on this forum. Well, I'd be in for a member get together too, MN, ND, whatever!! I have ridden up in Bottineau once a couple of years ago, but it was before the trails were open and it was snowing like crazy, so I dont really know what its like to ride that area.

Hey, guys i am from valley city and going to ndsu here in fargo. i bring my sled every week and ride some in the evenings. i would love to get to get together and ride with some of you guys.

what do you guys think about Jan 8??

Me and my roomate both have sleds, but have never rode up here before. Since we have quite a few Fargo members, it'd be cool if we could figure out a ride sometime.

i would be interested i live by jamestown and go to college at UND. Jan 8th would work for me.

Jan 8th works for me

January 8th it is, and sounds like the peace gardens is the place to be, now if anyone else has snow before, or after and knows of a good Fun run, poker run ect. let us know, would be great to hook up with ya.
:div20: :banghead:

i bet we could pull 30 guys if everyone could come on that day...

MAN WE WILL RIP THOSE HILLS

bet i put the most miles on water this summer

see ya there boys.

Nate

If I'm not working I would definately be interested. some friends of mine from Minot were actually talking about riding out there sometime, if we had a bunch of people it would be awesome.

Looks like Jan 8 will be the day for the meet in Bottineau lets hope they have snow.

Hey guys,

I go to UND and would like to head to Bottineau on the 8th. Anyone else from around here who may want to trailer together? I have never ridden there before but have heard a lot about it.

live2hunt
is that sign from the big horns by chance?
im pretty sure i remember seeing that

did anybody end up going to bott. on the 8th?

Nope I never ended up going Minot has just as good snow.

I wish I would have read this thread earlier.. I could have hooked you guys up. By the way the trails here are awsome! If anyone does end up out in these parts look me up @ the casino. I work mornings there and guide trail rides also. Cya out there! Chad.
