Day 19 / Mar 3 - Morning Update -- NEWFOUNDLAND! It’s official—the 3 Old Guys have arrived in Newfoundland! After a last-minute scramble yesterday to confirm the ferry was running, the guys were on the trail at 4 a.m., hitting the trail in the pitch black with another 8–10 inches of fresh snow...

Meteorological winter, which runs from December to February, ended this weekend. Not only did it give way to meteorological spring on March 1 in the Northern Hemisphere — it ended the coldest three month period in the United States since the winter of 2013 to 2014. It was about 1.1 degrees...

Thanks Kelly, great to see the old stuff and all the people with a common interest. As for getting lost/missing a turn off; I used to ride with a guy that was a pilot. He could fly you in to anywhere on earth, Moscow, Paris, Tokyo, etc. But get him out in the woods and he was the last guy you...

Day 18 / Mar 2 The Guys woke up to ~10 inches of fresh snow, with more still coming down. Instead of rushing out, they took their time—grabbing breakfast and swapping stories with a new local friend before heading toward Blanc-Sablon. By mid-morning, the snow had stopped, but visibility remained...

The 3 Old Guys thread got me thinking. Things to do in life before it's too late to do them. I have a few. We're going to Vegas next month, that'll be a first. I'm not a gambler beyond the Stock Market but I do want to see Hoover Dam before my days are numbered. Actually, all of our days are...

Day 17 /Mar 1 Early this morning, the Guys left...

Day 15 / Feb 27 Today was meant to be a relatively short ride leading the Guys to the end of their current trail. But in true adventure fashion, the trail had other plans! It ended sooner than the Guys expected, and while they attempted to push forward on the old, unmaintained section, deep...

Day 14 / Feb 26 The 3 Old Guys had another picturesque day of riding through freshly groomed trails that stretched across breathtaking scenery- and the sun even came out! Following the St. Lawrence River, they made their way to Port-Cartier, where they wrapped up for the night. One of today’s...

Day 13 / Feb 25 The 3 Old Guys left St. Ambroise this morning and covered 220–240 miles, finally resting in Forestville for the night. From start to finish, it was everything they dreamed riding out east would be. With highs nearing 30-40 degrees and perfectly groomed trails, conditions couldn’t...

Throwback to when Polaris made the headlines in Hawaii (yes you read that correctly). "There they were: two snowmobiles on the beach at Waikiki. Puzzled onlookers watched as two drivers, attired in suits designed to keep them comfortable in 40-below weather, revved up the machines and took off...

So, how do you choose which one when you get there? And I wish I had that decision to make!

Day 12 / February 24 After making their way out of the more rural stretch this morning, the 3 Old Guys arrived in Roberval, Quebec, where they grabbed breakfast, fueled up, and took a quick reset before hitting the trail again. Their route wrapped around the southern side of Lac Saint-Jean...

I fully expect several "nuisance snows" and probably a storm or two. But as the low areas flood, we can hang it up for another year. I'm not happy about it but for some reason, this year I'm more accepting of another short season for riding. Coming up, the High School Tournaments and other...

Day 11 / Feb 23 Today’s update is brief—because, well, we don’t know much! As planned, the guys took it easy on Saturday, resting up for the long, remote stretch ahead. They hit the trail before dawn on Sunday, pushing into an area with limited accommodations and no cell service. By mid-morning...

Day 10/ Feb 22 After a 12+ hour ride on Friday, the guys were back at it early Saturday morning, continuing their journey across Quebec. But sometimes, the smartest move is knowing when (and where) to stop. They made the strategic call to stop earlier than usual, ensuring they had accommodations...

Day 8 / Feb 20 Today was a big mileage day, with the 3 Old Guys covering over 200 miles across Ontario. Now that they’re further into Canada, the landscape is shifting—hello Canadian Shield! For those unfamiliar, the Canadian Shield is one of the oldest and most rugged landscapes in the world...
