Well we have one full month of riding in the books, and boy what a start to the season!! We have had record snowfall in every part of our great state of Michigan. I myself have been able to ride more this December than in years past, so lets see what kind of miles we've run so far.
I have logged 1372 miles as of 1-6-2009.

Being an Indiana boy, the only miles I've logged on my sleds so far this season have been test runs on the trailer.
About .5 miles lol.

I want to add some more but there has not been a lot of snow around home and it's hard to get away.

| Well I have logged in about 1,900 so far I had 3,600 start, now I have 5,500 on my RTX, still not going to catch my dad though, he has 2,700, adding that to his overall, he has topped 1 million. SERIOUS, I would'nt be surprized if he does'nt have close to it. Ask the guys at T&R yamaha in east jordan.

| Almost 500 and LOVE being retired.Rode MLK weekend Sun.nite thru Tues. around Blue Bear area west of Grayling.Sunday Sucked,Monday still Sucked-Bumpy,Torn-up..then Tuesday they took out all the speed bumps just for us retired guys who ride during the week and it was Beautiful again-110 miles in 5 hours including gas and lunch stops.Keep up the good work groomer drivers-Saw one on sunday nite and about 10 sleds went by{Wkend Warriors with 3 inch studs and paddle tracks}and litterally TORE the trail to bump city.Why do they have to spin their tracks so hard and dig such massive holes with traction like that???Can't you guys save the Roostin for off the trails??Thumbs up for the groomers!!! I wouldn't ride without-em!!

| Paddle tracks are'nt needed, but I feel studs are a definate safety factor, for sure. I agree about spinning the track, and as for groomers, everyone loves a fresh groomed trail, very nice, but! I love the sport so much, I would never quit riding, I never quit before the groomers were here, and wont quit now. flylip, u prob. passed my dad somewhere in that area, he LIVES on the trails on the weekdays, as he's retired to, he has an apex, with a 10" t.v. (gps) on the dash, lol.

About 300 miles in and around Cheboygan, Indian River, Mackinac City Michigan
Another 200 around Miocqua, Manitowish Waters, Mercer, Presque Isle, Boulder Junction Wisconsin
And another 500 from Boulder Junction Wisconsin to Copper Harbor and back.
Total about 1000 with another trip scheduled. Can't be precise as the sled is sitting there waiting for me in Wisconsin.

I added another 750 miles, trailered up to st ignace, headed the long way up to pike lake haven, about 7 miles south (as the crow flys) from raimbow lodge. we went around bye rudyard, then went way up to silver creek to eat, then we went by camp 33 (teq Brewery) and over to the cabin at pike lake. we stoked the fire, got water running. went back to camp 33 for dinner, and the superbowl. rode all over east and west, came home a day early due to funerals back home. 2,650 miles total...

| 965..... hoping to get some more in. didn't have a chance to ride back in december cuz my dad was in the hospital and almost died. (sledding was the last thing on my mind). wasn't able to get time off from work til march. (just glad to have a job) we're wanting to try the UP the week of march 23rd. wondering if there's usually snow left up there then. we're thinking paradise. any suggestions on where to stay?? it'll be our first time up there. any advice would be greatly appreciated

| Last year was our first year sledding - we put on over 1500 and this year so far about 500. We are hoping to at least match last year - we better get to it and hope that March is good to us!! Love this site and love coming to Traverse City - much better than sitting home in Chicago on the weekends!!

| I hate to talk smack, but the proper term is frankenSLED. Anyway, I roll on an 89 Formula plus with a 98 Formula Z rear suspension, powered by a 670 from a 93 mach1 put about 1500 miles on it and just changed plugs twice. Couldn't afford a rebuild so I grabbed an old piston from a friends 670 and threw that in. You don't even wanna know what the jug looked like. Anyway it runs better than my 99 F3 800. And it gets way more looks. Keep rockin the old sleds brother, pretty soon we'll be retro!
