Opinion

It is one of those seasons where the snow is NOT equally distributed! So, we have some members who have just plain "PARKED" for the season! Totally understood when you see the lack of snow around their homes! Others have a foot or more of snow base in their yards! Most local clubs shut down grooming all together! So, riding is a challenge for those of us who are able to get on the trails! On March 1st, a bunch of us rode over Potato Hill to Goshen (no current grooming) and on to Pilsbury Park (it was groomed and on some hills you can just barely see the tops of the gates!). Then into Washigton trails (no grooming) to the store for lunch and then toward Lempster to the wind farm back to Goshen and home! Riding was what it was but it did feel great to be out on the trails!

Riding as of March 15th is pretty much limited BUT do-able - for a day or two, if you have trail access you can get to Route 5 riding! It is deteriorating! And 50s temps will make it go away very fast!

March 15th, Don & Charlie rode after the snow/rain event! It was a little sloppy, but definitely FUN! The grooming that had been done was the secret to the trails being held together!

A BIG THANKS to the grooming crews who really did do yeoman service in a difficult year!

April Meeting will be determining officers for the coming year! Please be on hand and willing to help to keep the trail system and services we have developed over the years!

YOU - each ONE OF YOU, really DO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE!

Thanks for all the work and help for 2009-2010!
