    What gives?

    It never ceases to amaze me how little some people will do. If you are out riding on trails that officially open when they really shouldn't be then help out and clear the trails if your out riding. I keep a little hand saw with me at all times and have done plenty of brushing through out the...

    What gives?

    From all the pictures I have seen in the club sites,it is a real mess. We may go help one of the clubs on Saturday. As of now I know Sno Goers and barnstormers are planning on going out. You can take your sled. Just trying to figure out how to haul saws and other tools on a sled. I guess you can...

    Maybe, just maybe……

    I personally can't really remember any years that the ground freezes in upper peninsula before the snow. That big lake to the north normally doesn't allow that to happen. So this will be like any other year where they are going to have to rely on sleds to pack the frost down

    Oxygen vented shield?

    I will second Euphoric it helps. Is it now all of a sudden a nice cool helmet No. It's better but overall still on the warm side of things. I still have my 509 helmet for those plus 30 degrees days. When it's colder though for me there's not a better helmet. Only wear a light neck gaiter but...

    Suspense mounts....or not?

    Yeah looks like going from mulching leaves to snow blowing in about 3 days. As of now the weather guessers are saying we could see around 8" on the ground I Southern Wi. By early next week. We shall see if that happens.

    Suspense mounts....or not?

    I am not 100% sure where you live Euphoric. I remember back in 21 it was an excellent winter in northern IL and southern Wi. The trails were open for about 6 weeks and we're in excellent shape but yes overall not consistent at all. I know 2 winter's ago the only riding we did in Wi was in...

    Oxygen vented shield?

    I did the same as Euphoric and shield work as it should. I don't think brp is putting them on anymore.

    Suspense mounts....or not?

    Be nice it there was good snow up and down the whole state. There is a lot of nice riding through out Wi also a lot of work put in. Here's to hoping that all the states that have snow trails has a good snowy winter. The good news it looks like the weather pattern swap may be happening earlier...

    A Dear John Letter

    As usual Gary very well Said. Hard to believe it's already been 2 years. He is truly missed by all who knew him. Hopefully his family is doing well. Like so many really miss the journals and forecast.😥

    Time for a New Helmet?

    I tried the helmet on at the Milwaukee snow show some years ago after it first came out. Definitely nice helmet as a lot of people seem to really like it. The oxygen helmet seems to have a love hate relationship. There are a more than a few of us who have the oxygen helmet and we are all happy...

    Time for a New Helmet?

    It has the snot rubber piece. It's definitely sounds like a nice helmet but I am with you I don't like some rubber piece stuck to my face all day. Probably one of my favorite things about the oxygen. I don't wear anything but a light weight neck warmer and a lot of space in the helmet.

    Time for a New Helmet?

    The new oxygen helmet comes with the flow shield. It helps but still a warm helmet overall. You can't beat it on the cold days. Great view out the shield. The flow shield does help with the weird glare at night that the oxygen helmet seems to have. Overall I like my oxygen and works great with...

    Favorite section of trail

    Trail 13 north of Gogebic to Rockland is nice when it's smooth. Use to be for me from North of Gogebic to twin lakes but unfortunately the twin lakes section is closed. Pretty scenic trail. Also some twisty riding mixed in with some straights. Also enjoy forest county in Wi. Love all the tall...

    Trail 1 and 13 loop open?

    The eastern is just as busy if not busier some weekends. The central can be less crowded as they don't normally get the big snows. Most sledders believe more snow better trails but most times it just means bigger bumpier trails.
