Went Saturday to Woodford, started at Adam's parking lot at 8am, more trucks in the lot at that time then I ever have seen. The trails were smooth and FAST. Probably groomed Thursday night but were holding up real good. Did the normal 7A to 7N north up to Jenks, got gas and headed north to Mt tabor and one of the sleds in our group was leaking coolant. Find out a stud poked through the front heat exchanger on his Polaris XCR. After evaluation, he was towed back to Jenks and we headed back to the trucks via 7S. We were back at the trucks at 1pm and all trails were still holding up pretty good for the amount of traffic out there. For the day - 102 miles.

Sunday went out of North Springfield on the report from Chester's website saying they groomed Sat night. Wherever the sun could do damage it did it, would be perfect for 3 miles and then you would hit a bare batch. You could see the groomer was trying to do the best job he could. Trails were smooth and flat for most part with minimal snirt. Headed towards Ludlow, Trails we hit were 5 - 106 - 12 - 127. Hit the pit and then to Black River for lunch. Heading back to the trucks we were finding how quickly the trails were becoming soft and showing alot of snirt. For the day - 73 miles.

Will post pics later today.

where's the pit????

Scott,

The pit is what we call it, I do not know the official name. It is on Trail 127 almost near the intersection of 7 (Belmont Store Area).

It is an awesome jumping area, hill climb up with a about a 10 foot table top and then the bottom falls out on the other side. You can spend hours there messing around.

Here is a pic of my buddies Rev going off the other side.

Every time i see that pic of me, i get the chills. I wish i leveled the sled alittle better. I had my big Ski-Doo gloves on that day, and was having some troubles grabbing the brake fast. I will be using my motocross gloves for the rest of the season...

If you were coming up Trail 7 heading north, Trail 127 will be on your right about 1 mile after the intersection for one of the Belmont Store feeder trails. I believe it is intersection RD-78.

If you trying the hill climb in the back, make sure you have studs and stay to the side, there is ice in the middle and you will slide back down.

Have fun and get some pics.
