Here is a quick debrefing of last nights meeting
- There was good attendance and we all introduced ourselves because there was several new members attending.
- It was nice to see several members bring their kids, they can get an understanding of how much work good trails take.
- We need an older sled to raffle off, inexpensive or donated would be nice.
- Help is needed next Sunday at 9 am, one lunger track cleaning up some brush. Please help.
- Trail signs are needed on the two new rerouted trails (sandy bottom and lower street) people are getting confused and looking for the old trails. Pay attention to the signs because the trails have changed.
- Groomers need to contact Butch to go over routes to make sure we are not wasting money overlapping grooming.
- If you have any club equipment contact Punch or Butch, they would like to start an inventory and number system for equip.
- Attend the town budget meeting this Wend at 7 pm and express how you would like to see the registration fees designated for the club deposited in the clubs coffers.
- I am working on the web site. Eddie is getting updated registration forms very soon. Comment on the blogs, give me something to write about.
- Practice for one lunger race Feg 13th Several $50.00 prices will be raffled at the drivers meeting for those who pre register. This is in celebration of our 10th year.
- Dance tickets are selling fast. Save a couple bucks and buy them early. Better yet buy 8 and they will reserve a table for you. Landslide is a great dance band. Get out and dance. Bring some appetizers for the pot luck appetizer extravaganza.
- I will be contacting the local eateries to get the Thursday night supper ride going. Watch the blog for dates. We are only going to ride to restaurants that support our club.
- Traveling supper is slated for Feb 30th, only two stops this year.
- P.S. I found the loop trail, You can too, buy a local map for $2:00 It is clearly laid out and a great family ride.
If you ride the trails please join the club. If we are your patrons Please join the club. If you read this please comment.

Out for a ride

I guess I did not get out on Sunday after the storm. Waited a little to long to clean my driveway and it was like trying to throw peanut butter with a snowblower. I figured I would get stuck in the soup anyway. Couldn’t do anything on Monday or Tuesday either. Bummer I got a new (used) sled sitting in the yard and haven’t been able to use it until tonight. Pat (Butch) Jalbert told me the trails were great on Monday night except for the one spot that his daughter buried the yamaha in a water feature. That reminded me of the night I had to call him out early in December a couple of years ago. My daughter and I were buried in a bog out by Torrey hill. I asked her to toss me my 18 volt flashlight next thing I know I catch it with my face, my eye swells shut and I am bleeding all over the place. thank god Butch was home. All it took was one more guy to get us out of the hole and Jalbert came to the rescue. Any way remember to bring a cell phone with you and make sure you have a friend who can come to the rescue. Butch got rescued by a friendly guy who lived by orchard way, he could see them out his living room window. I wish he would have called me so I could repay the favor, oh well another time. Anyway I got out tonight left my house headed across rt 4 and to the Pleasant pond bypass trail. It was a little rough but improved after I crossed Pleasant pond road. Headed to shreps and got some fuel, decided to head over to the plaza and discovered a big wash out, it looks like it had been crossed alot but I was alone at night, fealt a tinge in that broken cheek bone, turned around and headed home. The new Yamaha went great four stroke has a ton of torque. Happy trails.
