Update 2/4/19
Sunshine broke through the clouds and temperatures soared to near 50*F Monday afternoon. I thought that a snowmobile ride in spring-like warmth would be a nice change of pace from the near-zero cold I rode in last week. So I headed out for a spin after work. Aside from some wet/icy spots and a few […]
Got hurt! Update 1/24/19
Not going to get into much specifics on yesterday’s ride because the conditions have changed dramatically since then: I banged out 160 miles yesterday including: Indian Lake, Newcomb, Long Lake, Raquette Lake, Uncas Road, Eagle Bay, Big Moose, Old Forge, Inlet loop trails and Moose River Plains back to Indian Lake. Most of what I […]
