How many miles this year?

I don't even add up the miles anymore. We usually ride more off-trail than on-trail, and we rack up a lot less miles that way (for the same amount of riding time). I rate my winters in smiles, not miles.

I agree with it's not about the miles it's about the smiles. Just getting out on your sled and forget about everything for a while and enjoying quality time with friends or in my case with my wife and the family.

A very unfortunate ending to a difficult season for many reasons, late start, the c-word, extreme cold. For me was first time a full week in the U.P. unfortunately was during the cold snap so only rode 3 days just under 550 miles for me this year. Hoping for the U.P. as a whole, next year will be different.

On about 675 miles for me. I'm okay with it though because I took 4 trips north and the wife was with me all four trips. That's the first time in many years she has ridden that many times. It's been 1-2 times a year for a while now. Wish we got more miles in but 2 of the trips we brought my 4 year old daughter so we kept the trips short for her.

Just over 2000 on the sled all from the house but was selective on went we went most of the time. Didn’t ride much during the cold snap and did a lot of after work rides during the week with low traffic. And 490 miles in the groomer seat also.
