Well, I am a trailrider, and really have not done any off trail riding in the past 30 years. Well, we got 14" of fresh snow, so I thought I would ride over to my property and blaze some trails. 15 miles of off trail riding, and I am just as tired as I was last Saturday when we rode 260 miles on trails....

You guys are tougher than I.

Did you have a backpack full of garden tools? mohawk on your helmet? monster sticker on the windshield?

That is one thing that people don't notice, the tired factor. Up here in the Keweenaw we go out for 6 hours and put like 40 miles on and you can end up wiped out it you don't do it often.

It can be tough if the snow is deep.

the only time I actually work out gym type stuff for a few weeks is before heading to elevation. that is tough business you dont know wore out till you spend a hr or so digging your self out of a pine tree hole at 9000ft.

I have to agree...I rode in the fresh powder and blazed some new trails yesterday, only did about 100 miles but those miles made me more tired than the other 900 I've rode on trail this year.

Its not all fun and games out in the bush, I took one of my motocross buddies with me on Sunday for a 50 mile ride.... his text message Monday morning "I havent been this tired and sore even after a double header race weekend with a couple of crashes.... ***?"

Oh, geezz....too old...pooshaw!

What it DOES do is require that you learn to ride differently. None of this namby pamby stuff ....hit the throttle, hit the brakes, lift the skis, and the throttle again to the next corner....no sur ree....

You just ask TYLER.....you see the tree coming, you plan for the tree to go by THIS side and then being all sort of short in stature to "will" the sled in the direction you want it to go....you ride right over the tree....assuming it isn't too big. Ain't I right john??

Weaving, dodging, face full of snow....oh, no...where did everyone go....geezzz look out....just missed that stump.....oh...sh!!tt....

Now that is sledd'n at the height of your career....

All I can say it's a good thing you city boys only get a dumping like that once every ten years or so.....or you would put the sled parts places to the top of the charts....and the sled biz...would recover nicely!

Off trail not for meek or out of shape whole different skill set than trail riding. I'm pretty much ready for a trail ride any day just mount & ride without breaks just stop to gas up. Now ask me to boondock or any off trail & I have to think do I want to work that hard & hurt that much & there will be breaks & jerky.lol
