Touchdown, Speculator! Ride 1/21/21
After the S84 beatdown to cap off Wednesday’s 218 miler, my goal today was simply to get out of bed and ride my snowmobile for ANY distance at all. Speculator was the one direction I hadn’t ridden this year, so I wanted to give that a shot. My back and shoulders were in pain with […]
