TY March Muni Ride!!


TD Max said:
Friday Munising to Grand Marais through Seney and back about 150 miles. Great ride with great people and surprising amount of snow.

Lost a bolt from a cross shaft in my skid. Thankfully another rider ( I forget usernames) had one that fit plus a vice grip to hold the shaft. Back in business.

Back at Comfort Inn decided to take a break and fell asleep watching TV. Not really a bar person anyhow. I did want to see the band for a bit, but maybe next year.

Saturday morning we were up early, ate breakfast, and on the trail by 8am. First sleds on freshly groomed snow from the trail head. Two other sleds followed, but we went west to 7 and they went east. The fresh grooming did not last, but overall not bad until we got close the the spring. Met 2 other sleds coming up from the spring Spent about 45 minutes at the spring taking pics and checking out the updated raft. Hadn't been there is 15+ yrs. Back on the trail and up the haywire. No sleds for the bettter part of the way. This trail was pretty pounded, but we powered through it and back to the CI before noon. Trip avg 36 mph according the Doo digital gauge. I learned a lot about both sleds on this trip. I didn't think Elaine had it in her to run as hard as she did Friday or Saturday. It took her a bit to build her confidence but she really impressed me logging 93 mph (speedo) on the Renegade recall.

250 miles not a bad day and a half. Already planning for next trip and how we can occupy ourselves in the early am hrs. before the main group gets going.



Sorry I didn't get to meet many of you. I think the majority came in for Saturday's ride. We'll try to make it longer next time. W never have "vacationed" very well and had to be back Saturday eve for home chores and so I can tap tress Sunday then Funeral visitation Monday.

You have to go to the bar after the ride... :)
 
All I can say again is...... PRICELESS!!!!

You can say what you want about the rough trail at the end of the day Friday....I flew over them. Seeing my old friends and now some really great new friends, eating at Buckhorn and then back to exchange stories.... That's what it's all about :)

Saturday was a great time as we played off trail, through the trees, in the bowls and county roads. Snow may have been mashed potatoes but lots of laughs and great riding! Still trying to figure out how that 2 inch round sapling that was in my way threw me off of the sled.....ROTFLMAO!!!!

Sunday started out very early as a couple of us went out testing early. Trail was setup and very fast....just like a frozen lake and I saw some very impressive speeds on my dream meter! 108's, 109's, 110's and a couple blinks of 111 and 112 ;)! But, with positives come the negatives and popping the top layer off of a belt at high speeds like that make you cringe. Thanks to Cannondale for a spare 8DN belt as I thought I had one in the trailer but didn't. Cannondale is the man and so happy to have him as a friend ;)!

After testing, our group took the advice from my good friend Buddah and we found a play area that looked untouched all year, lots of snow, hills and ridges to play :) Definitely remembering where this spot is as we will be back there again! ;)!

Thanks for the smiles and all the laughs!
