T....nice pics but why the H$%^ aint you ridin? :huh::wave: I am heading to ME friday but here some from VT from last weekend.......

1st pic was sunset on the DC line (after some snow) and3rd pic has a little sunshine poking through but it was STILL snowing. Snowed the whole 5 days we were there!

tynan19 02-23-2009 10:23 PM

Nice pics. Heading to Fort Kent with Starfish for 4 days saddlebagging Aroostook County next week. Probably hit up Rangeley and the Jackman one more time. Haven't had the time to ride this year.

Jenn 02-24-2009 07:59 PM

Millinocket area heading fri. after work and staying till tues.

We day tripped to Woodford today...just got back.....HOLY SNOW! they got like 4 feet since friday. Will have to get some pics of that up for ya! I still cant beleive the snow. We were on a narrow secondary headed up a mountain and had to turn the sleds around. The guy we met coming the other way (he just turned around because the trail wasnt broke) was helping turn our sleds around.....next thing I knew I looked over and he was gone! well actually he just sunk up to his neck in snow! Wish I had the camera ready because no one will beleive me when I tell that story! It was pretty funny seeing just his helmet poking out of the snow!

The time is NOW my friend.....it usually doesnt get any better that this! March can be a crapshoot and April riding is icing on the cake if you can get it!

They dont do it justice but here are some pics from yesterdays ride....

tynan19 02-25-2009 12:30 PM

March to me is the best month. Plenty of snow, warmer temps, more daylight! Great Pics.

Jenn 02-25-2009 06:01 PM

you are right....March can be the best. Unfortunately some years it can be all over in a heart beat too! Thats why I find this time to be crunch time.....you just never know how much longer you have! :uhuh: get out every chance you can!

tynan19 02-25-2009 11:00 PM

Keep an eye out for my brother and friends. He rides a Black and Red 600 sdi. Black and Red Gear as well. He is riding in Milli this weekend too. Drives a Grey Titan pickup. Have a great weekend.

T-cant tell ya how many red & black 600's we saw! Any way.....theysalottashnowuptheyra!

She's no mountain sled but we tried anyway....:)

tynan19 03-09-2009 08:16 PM

Nice will post pics of our trip tomorrow. Starfish rode her rev for the first time. We did 750 miles in 3 full days of riding. She also broke her speed record.

Jenn 03-10-2009 08:18 AM

Yes pics please! How are they holding up there? NEK got took a big hit this past weekend with the warm temps. Still plenty of base but they dont groom unless its cold and things were getting bony in and out of town.

750 Miles in 3 days? Thats pretty hardcore!:gu: at that rate shes gonna need a new one soon! HA!HA! I have over 3k on my sled (since end of feb 08) I am thinking its time to trade her in towards the leftover renegade (I am GONNA make it up that mountain dammit!) I saw at the dealer for dirt cheap this weekend....:rotflmao: ok so I am dreaming....but it was DIRT CHEAP for a renegade :crying: which hurts to walk away from and they had three of them :crying: not to mention that dealer treats you right to boot.

Allright Starfish give it up! how fast? :heybaby:

I think this is why they call it God's Country? Looked like you could ride right up to the sky.

Wife's longest ride to date. Our trail to the house overlooking Ft. Kent. We had to have a beer at the top after a long ride. A trail shot near Portage Lake.

Wife's fastest rip to date. I couldn't keep up with her and my friend. Took a ride up to Estcourt Station. The highest point to go in Maine. Border crossing to Quebec. Wife overlooking the fields of Ft. Kent.

A couple trail shots. I didn't get many pics of the trails since I was too busy riding them to stop. We got rained on for the last 30 miles on our way home Sunday. Still lots of snow but it was getting soft.

tynan19 03-10-2009 10:41 AM

Looking at a few Gades myself. The holdovers are at a good price and my dealer has to etecs left.

tynan19 03-12-2009 08:02 PM

Taking a trip with the kids to The Forks this weekend. Should be a good time.

Jenn 03-13-2009 04:52 PM

Have fun, be safe! Spring riding tends to bring out the crazies on the trail....

Were headed to VT....there is a previously un-conquered mountain thats been haunting us and needs to be climbed before the window of opportunity slams shut! If if mother nature holds out next weekend will be another trip way up.....

After tomorrow I should have a bonafide 2K season :nopain:

Well there are still spots with a minimun 2 foot base (can you believe there is a 3 foot base below me in that first pic!) but getting to those spots is going to be hard after this week. The fat lady is singing in VT. We did make our mountain and our 100 mile ride so I cant complain I didnt reach my riding goals for the season! Temps were in the teens but we kept overheating up the mountain. Can you say bulletproof snow?

T19 hope Maine was good to you! And hope its holding up well there (in case I just HAVE to make one more ride LOL)

We had a great time. Still 4-5 ft of snow in the Mntns. My friend grooms a .37 mile loop around his house for the kids to ride the kitty cats and 120 around. Both boys also got a ride in the old groomer.

The temps were crazy, on Sunday we went for a 55 mile ride in 55 degree weather with the boys. We also climbed to the lookout on Coburn Mnt.

tynan19 03-17-2009 11:52 AM

I got a bunch of videos on my camcorder and a couple on my digital.
Here is one of Tynan on the 120 riding around the yard.

Both boys got unitentional air on the small sleds. Tynan got a solid ten feet off a rockpile and Conner went over the walkway embankment.
