The ride last year was great and now i am on a newer sled this year and was lookin foward to seein a ride again this year in VT! :beerchug:

Let's do it again and head to Norton this time. I hear the Northland has closed in Cannan( anyone hear if that's true?)

How about the second Saturday in January?

I'm definitely planning it again, and Norton sounds great. Jan 1 is a saturday, I'm thinking that the 8th is risky for weather....how about the 15th?

Oh no .............the Northland closed............what happened? I loved that place.


Norton sounds great.................. I'm game for Jan 15th .................

Thought I saw the Northlands for sale in the summer issue of Vast.

:cn:

I'm in for another ride in the NEK.

Is the Northland really closed?

I just spoke with Paul Jackson (with the Canaan Border Riders) and the Northland Restaurant will be open as of October 1st. It will be staying in the family of the previous owner. I think his daughter bought it.

I would really like to see these guys stay in business as the Canaan area seems to be some of the best riding around and the Northland is a mainstay of the town. I hope they do okay.

That is great news about the Northland

The 15th of January sounds great- should we mark it on the calendar?

Yep, I did :fluffy:
Look down at the calendar section at bottom of main forum view page.

The only thing about the 15th, is that it is a holiday weekend and there will be alot of sleds out on the trails. Trails would be better on a non-holiday weekend IMO.

If no one cares then the 15th is great.

Count me in!!!!!!

I'll be there with my gang of riders. To me it doesn't matter what weekend.

jan 15th works perfect for me also... definately count me in again. great time last year.


oughtta start in IP again... good location for everyone to convene at. thoughts??

Damn ..... that's the same weekend as the "Tug Hill" ride ... oh well ... there's always next season

tug hill? damn.. that's quite a hike from CT ain't it?

Actually ... it's almost the exact same distance from here to Tug Hill, as it is from here to Island Pond. The ride to tug hill is a little faster because the roads are better. It also depends on where on the hill I go. I usually stay at "The Edge" hotel in Lyons Falls, NY. In good snow conditions I can cut about 20-30 minutes off the drive by staying somewhere closer.
:beer2:

im up there at least once a week during sled season, I ride out of lyndonville alot. Mmore than likely Ill be comimng this year also.

HOW DID YOU GUYS SNEAK THIS PAST ME ? ... I PUT IN ON THE GENERAL FORUM BECAUSE I THINK MORE PEOPLE WOULD GO IN THERE INSTEAD OF HERE I DONT COME IN HERE VERY OFTEN. BUT WE WILL SPREAD THE WORD.

I would be interested, me and my sidekick (kid I ride with 24/7) will go. He has a 99 TCAT.
