Cool topic.
@indy_500 I'm interested how the riding was around Ashland? We drive through there but have not stopped to ride. It was odd to see more snow and less fishing on the bay this year. In fact, I'd say the snow across northern WI looked pretty darn good this season. It was tempting to cut the drive short.
We did a
bonus trip last week so the season ended with more miles than normal. Spring riding is generally hit or miss. Decided to give it a shot and rode in hit and miss. One full day of riding in the rain was almost a deal breaker, but the following snow days sure made up for that hiccup. It was the first time I've had snow coming over the windshield on Gogebic.
I'm almost nervous to add up all the dollars. Lodging and gas are big chunks. The tow rig got quite a few miles with almost zero riding at home. Put 4,000 miles each on two of the sleds. Two spare sleds even saw about 1,200 each miles this season. It's fun trying to introduce new people into the sport and we "subsidize" their trips by providing sleds and covering most associated expenses. Had some real troupers this season.
The trip count and overall miles were higher than normal this season. Weather timing helped a lot.
Overall, I'd call it a good season.
