The annual 24-25 how many miles thread!

[whitedust]

Every area in the UP that has good snow has been bottlenecked with traffic. Have to do your homework to stay off the beaten path, and also avoiding trail 8 east out of Munising is a big one. No different than trail 3 leading into Houghton. 1 main artery trail, nothing else to relieve the traffic.

Hopefully some loops can be built off the BN just too much traffic N-S with no off ramps. Smack dab in the Les snowbelt for a nice long season but not my thing rather ride south and east of BN.

One quick trip---175 miles on the sled---640 miles on the truck and trailer.

Beginning to re-think this sport.

So far it's been 5 trips to the UP with 1,100 miles total. A couple of those trips with my wife and friends, so the average daily miles isn't what it used to be. Heading to Colorado next week. Hopefully the UP will continue to deliver well into April this year.

When we have an “off” day, low miles, we just reflect on how 50 miles a day in the 70’s & 80’s was an awesome day!

Expesaily if your sled still ran after 50 mi.

 

[onlypolar4me]

Well, zero so far, that's changing soon, heading U.P. next week, YES!!!

Expesaily if your sled still ran after 50 mi.

Mostly because of dirty carbs, poor fuel, improper jetting.

Just returned from the second full week of riding, total for the season is right at 2,000 miles. I did lose a couple days (Sunday & Monday) this past week with a stator issue. One more trip coming in March.

Lucky only 2 days where did you find a new one?

Pat's, we were staying North of Seney called Kip first thing Monday morning and they had one. Took the sled and had them do the repair.

 

[racerx]

Only 100mi in two small rides as work and commitments have been getting in the way. Which is a bummer as a trail crosses the lot at my work and I see sleds all day/all week and believe me it is hard to focus on work sometimes while all that is happening outside. Although a cool thing happened the other day as I was moving snow with a bobcat, which happened to be on the trail access, I then dropped some snow on that section to repair my rutts, so technically I did some grooming with a bobcat

756 so far

 

[m8man]

I think I have 1 mile. Rode the kids free ride for a couple laps around my field

 

[chunk06]

only 190 miles. Sad thing is on a usual year with this cold I could be out on my local lake and river, with the odd ice conditions this year that is not even safe.

900ish. trips to the Black Hills and Gunflint Trail. hoping for one more.

 

[600_RMK_144]

Ugh. One trip to The Black Hills with a broken a-arm to account for it. Work was busy after that trip, so haven't done another yet. Just got booked for our first time to The Big Horns in a couple weeks. Then ending the season a couple weeks after that with a Spring Break trip to Togwotee. First time there as well.

 

[just_ride]

about 1100ish.....leaving Tuesday afternoon for more
