Mike
Depending on what time we get in we might take a short ride for a light snack.
What was that pub/place you mentioned you enjoyed early this season not far out from the famed MR underpass ? How far out is it ?

Thanks for the kind words. For the next few years work gets in the way of more RDL trips...but we will make up for it when the day comes !
Yes...Lisa got her new 19 sled. I will let her tell you about it. I dont want to steal her Thunder.... 😀 ...but she is pretty excited.

Some great advice here !
Id add...buy 2 of the 25’ LED 12v strip lights and tie them into the dome light lining the outer roof. Very inexpensive and work amazing. I used zip ties to attach them in minutes and used the squeeze splicers to the dome light lead.
also, I added at build time LED reverse lights on the back. They build them in above the brake LEDs. The difference in confidence backing up at night is huge. Wouldnt order one without these.
Lighting increases comfort and function both.
My trailers a 7.5’ x 16’ inline hybrid....so not big enough for youre 3. 2 sleds of any size is great though. Backing out is a breeze. I keep a 7’ piece of 2” PVC pipe and drop it on top of the hinges when loading/unloading. Works perfect even with our aggressive Snowtracker carbides.
Good luck.

Glad to see you are back on the trails Mike. Awesome.
...and with a new sled to boot !
Did you say that new one is a turbo Mike ?? <cough>
Haha

Mostly all 5 stars now !
Time for you to start the 2019 thread Mike !

Looks like RDL updated trail conditions this AM !
-
KylesDad...did you go ?
-
Well, I ended up frustrated with lack of snow like everyone else. Looking at a bunch of web pages and factors ended up opting for a shorter drive to the County here in Maine. Worked out great...a few days of great riding. The RDL club hadnt updated trail conditions since 12/22 and hasnt yet...telling me trails hadnt improved. Next time. Love riding RDL area.

Looks like RDL will have no rain Sat...unlike most of Maine that has some rain or a mix. Thats a plus.

At best its thin but hard saying because there are no reports anywhere I can find. I am also contemplating Jackman-Pittson Farm area too instead since neither RDL or Maine are great right now....but there are select trails in Maine that look ok at least.
I will go to the best conditions !
If you come across a current report repost it here.....the stuff at FCMQ is fairly vague.

Oh, 100% Im dreaming and hoping. I have to make a tenative plan based on what is educated guesses are. A gamble.
A good guess at best. 🤪

If the forecasters are to be trusted (cough) then RDL seems to be getting a little less of a hit from this rain storm thats tearing thru Maine and beyond,....
Fingers crossed.

Looks nice Yeti !
Anyone else been out ?

Ever ride St-George area Mike ? Considering closer ideas for other weekends besides our annual RDL trip thats already booked.

So my agent Has my sleds thru Allstate...I dont know much about it.500k Bodily Injury and 250k property damage. The FCMQ coverage is 500/500. Allstate doesnt offer 500 Prop Damage....so rather than change companies I will take the FCMQ coverage too. Not a huge difference.
So meantime til trails are ready....here is a article I read on Bas St Laurent sledding...and at the end links to 3 more BSL related articles.
-
Shot an email to my agent to see if I meet the criteria they require. For a $42 a sled rebate I dont want to risk not having enough coverage...either there or here. Good chance to review my coverages. 🙂
Thanks for you’re speedy reply doo !

I have been instructed to find out the condition of the famed MR underpass before we take it. ;-)
It was a little hairy this time 2 years ago.... haha
