Default Spring time riding

Being that the weather here has been in the upper 30's to low 40's, the snowmobile trails have taken a beating and are all iced up and down to the dirt in some spots.

It shouldn't be long now that the groomers will be put away and the trails will be fair game for ATVs!!! I'll be sure to bring to camera along for the first ride out on the trails.

Sounds like a good idea with the camera sheep....I always bring mine along but I usually ride alone and always seem to forget to take any pics...It's kinda hard taking action shots when you're by yourself...

No dust and no skeeters either!!! Maybe this weekend I'll try to get out for a little tour, but I think the sleds are still pretty heavy out my way.

No mosquitos, but up here we get the black flies for as long as there is cold clean water running. (Read most of the year) You just have to ride fast enough to outrun them.

i hear ya boys... i have been doing as much riding as possible over the winter but i cant wait for those deep holes to open back up... last month we had a decent thaw and 3 of us went riding, when you come to the top of this one hill there is a long stretch of mud holes.... most were froze over good but this one i decided to go over should have said "caution thin ice... NO SWIMMING" that was fun getting out of.. for the last 3 weeks not much riding the snow is just to deep when you start up the hills around here...

(Oregon) Okay, I guess I'll quit whining....already been out a few times this year. Got stuck every time in the deeper snow, but still worth it. Why have a winch if you're not going to use it, right?! Weather is in the 40's and 50's and the snow is rapidly melting, producing some awesome mud! Going out again tomorrow to try out the new clutches.....
