Sledding Season 2014/2015

Tell me about it! I feel your pain. Sleds are like boats - very high monetary investment for the time of use. 1997 sled with 1100 miles - figure that one out. This year -- 1 hr 20 min to and from camp. 1 hr to heat the camp up. 1/2 hour to load up and quick clean x 3 times. Gas for the travel. Insurance. New fuel lines. Carbs cleaned. Gear oil changed and new gasket. ALL for 36 miles and 1.5 hrs of riding total...

 

I'm looking forward to them, post away. The problem with our camera (just confirmed) the on/off switch is shot so I won't be posting any pics until it's fixed or if we decide to get another one.

Since we just spent some good coin on the third function kit and the dozer blade/snowplow, I don't think we'll be getting one anytime soon.

 

I figured out how on my camera to do a short video and pull out a still pic so have one doing a small jump this year. Pretty cool.

 

2017 Riding at camp.

Little Jump


Small House At Camp



Warm And Cozy - shows about 1/3 of the total area inside. Scandia 308 stove. Darn thing took off in the middle of the night. Woke around 1 AM sweating 88 F inside.

Tucker what did you do!?!?

 

What a great looking dog!!!!

 

We did another 30 today before anyone was out, we had another three inches of fresh snow. With all this warm weather coming in with the stronger sun, today might be the last time until the next big snowfall.

I'll be getting a quote on how much it cost to fix the camera, until then I'll be digging the old one out but the smaller disk that the pictures are stored on won't work with this computer so I'll need to transfer them to a card somehow.

 

Tucker got my track installed last night so we went for a quick 55 mile brraap!
Heading out again now!

 

Rode another 57 miles to the great sacandaga lake.

 

Wife went for a ride today... I sat on mine, but still not healed enough to dare going out.

 

I can hear the "brraap" !!!

 

108 miles today...1010 miles for the year.

I think that's all were gonna get unless there is a spring snow storm.

 

Need to go to Caribou, Me.
Can get some serious miles up there!

 

True, I know guys who put on a thousand in a long weekend up there, Who can't bare to turn bump or take the less traveled route.
It's not always the milage though. I had more twist turns bumps jumps sights scenery and powder than I thought I'd get this year. Shock rebuild time!

 

PA trails close April 1st. I just looked at the March forecast for Pittsburgh. It's not looking too promising for any kind of snow -- 40's, 50's or warmer for the whole month. I guess it is time to summerize the sled and get the quad back on the trailer.

 

Anybody get any miles in the last weeks storm?
I did about 180
