smclelan Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The International Snowmobilers Manufacturers Association (ISMA) says the average rider puts on 1300 mile per year. There are not many average riders on this board I don't think :wacko: . The last three seasons my annual mileage has increased by 8-900 miles per year, 07-3600 miles, 08 4500 miles, and 09 5200 miles. This year I would like to see a similar increase and maybe hit the 6000 mile mark. Does anyone else have a mileage target in the plan for this season?

doonali Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The most I've ridden in a season is 4200 mi. I'd like to get back to that mark or higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrGutz Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I've been shooting for 2000+, I know it seems low, but with my youngest brother still having border issues, we ride in the States as well, so the miles do not rackup as quick, just the aches, pains, issues, confusion, etc... that come with riding around here.

mxz7000 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 The miles are going in the wrong direction for me. Used to do almost 4K a year but ever since the little ones only get in around 2K. I guess I would be happy with with 2K this year. If I added it up I bet I have more hours in the groomer then on my sled the last 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil 1 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 If I can keep from breaking myself 4,000 would B a good #... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDI-HAM Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 At this moment I'm hoping for more than the 100 feet I did on my lawn last week- Looks like we're going to be off to a slow start this year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorpionbowl Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Well, since there's no snow this weekend, it'll be 400 miles less. I would guess between 6k-7k miles, but I would like to hit 8k at some point. coldsmoke, if you look on the trail changes topic you'll see 3 gas stops on 83 toward Ontario, there are more, those are what are on my gps. fyi, 93 will be a lot smoother and faster than 83.

Brdgbldr85 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I 'am too hoping for say about 500 here in PA and hopefully 2000- 4000 in Quebec. I plan to see Quebec 3 or 4 times this winter. I hope it Snows soon, December is getting close!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowa Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Im shooting for 5000 miles this year. That would be my season high. Planning on 2 big trips, 1 around Gaspe from Vermont(2200 miles) and a trip to the HI for a few days. Should be done working for the winter in the next 3 weeks so all I need is SNOW!!

600IQHO Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 If every thing goes as planned I should hit about 2500 in Quebec and maybe another 400 in New York. I only usually get to Quebec 1 or 2 X's a year. But that will easily top 1800, that is my previous best. Winter is my busy season at work. Work sucks!

Sled Dog Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Over 4500 for me last year, best year ever. Probably won't hit that this year as that's a lot of working midnight shift, sledding all day, falling into bed at 4 or 5 and then back to work at midnight. It can suck. I have planned 2 trips to Quebec this winter. I would like to go over 5000 some day though..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfm Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Just one less than Bill would work great for me , but in reality I'll probably only get 500 or so in NY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

too slow Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 I've been shooting for 2000+, I know it seems low, but with my youngest brother still having border issues, we ride in the States as well, so the miles do not rackup as quick, just the aches, pains, issues, confusion, etc... that come with riding around here.GutZ Similar issues here except have no brother that rides sleds...just a job i can't get away from again. Be lucky to pile up 1k miles here in the area. Yeah...i know all about those aches and confusion riding in Ma. : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
